Common Questions About the Microsoft TS: Windows 7 and Office 2010, Deploying Exam
The Microsoft TS: Windows 7 and Office 2010, Deploying (exam code 070-681) is the exam you pass to earn the MCTS certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also connected with related credentials such as MCTS Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment. If you are mapping out a certification path with Microsoft, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.
The 070-681 exam includes 40-60 questions, and you have 120 minutes to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the ExamTorrent test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.
You need 700/1000 to pass the 070-681 exam, and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by region). That fee is due again in full for every retake, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper investment by far. Before you book your seat, test yourself with the ExamTorrent practice questions until you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on a consistent basis — it is the simplest way to avoid paying for the same exam twice.
