Earning it shows employers that you have the skills the credential stands for, and it is a solid step forward on a Microsoft career path. It also connects to MCSA: Web Applications, MCSD: Web Applications, so the effort you put in now keeps paying off as you advance.
The 70-486 exam gives you 40-60 questions to complete within 120 minutes.

The most reliable way to build that rhythm is a full timed practice test under the same limit, which is exactly what TestSimulate's test engines are designed for.
