Why not jump on the free <strong>Microsoft</strong> Certification Prep wagon and get the required tests <a href="http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/mcsa90/default.aspx?WT.mc_id=MSLS_MCSA90">410, 411 &amp; 412</a> out of the way before you take the <strong>SharePoint 2013</strong> tests?

		<strong>Microsoft</strong> is giving us exam preparation videos, discussion forums and wikis for the core tests mentioned (<strong>I said free right?</strong>).  At the bottom of this entry you'll see the paths you'll have follow to get the certification you want.

Not all tests are alike! While the MeasureUp.com tests are not 100% accurate (meaning a 1:1 match) they can be close.  Also keep in mind there could be 10 flavors of the test and the one you're taking might not be what the person next to you is taking.   I helped write these tests in the past and can tell you some are harder then others.     I have used the MeasureUp.com practice tests to help me study for years now and I give them a 4 out of 5.   <em><strong>Note</strong>: I've had some issues with the test engine on Windows 8, they said they are working on a fix.  PS I get no commission and have no connection to M-Up.  I just like their products</em>
