The 074-343 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind Microsoft Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2013 — passing it earns you the Microsoft Specialist certification, a credential positioned at the Specialist level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Microsoft Managing Projects with Microsoft Project 2013.
The 074-343 exam presents 40-60 questions to be completed within 90-120. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the TestSimulate desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.
To pass the 074-343 exam you need 700 / 1000, and the official registration fee is $165 USD (may vary by region). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed TestSimulate practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.
No formal prerequisites; recommended: hands-on experience with Microsoft Project 2013 and basic project management knowledge Because Microsoft revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Microsoft exam page before you register.
