Therefore, you should first identify the exam objectives.

All Microsoft exams have a set of objectives outlining the topics you need to understand to become successful in the exam. This is a good place to start to give yourself a general idea of the topics you can expect to encounter and for which you should obtain study material. Although we have included the latest exam objectives with our PrepKit, it is a good practice to visit the Microsoft's site to check the latest exam details, because these objectives keep on changing from time to time.

1. Create a study plan and stick to it: First of all, you should plan how you will be studying for the exam.

2. Take a self-diagnostic test: Once you have created your study plan, you should attempt the diagnostic tests included in the PrepKit.

You can make yourself familiar with all these types of questions by attempting the simulation tests included in the PrepKit.
