Microsoft : 070-497 Questions & Answers

The 070-497 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) / Visual Studio Testing Skills certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Software Testing with Visual Studio credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) - Windows Development, Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The 070-497 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120-150. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the ActualTorrent test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the 070-497 exam is 700/1000, and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by region). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 100 practice questions on ActualTorrent, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

No formal prerequisites; recommended experience with Visual Studio and software testing concepts. Requirements can change when Microsoft revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
