The Microsoft Designing and Managing a Microsoft Business Intelligence Solution (exam code 78-702) is the exam you pass to earn the Dynamics-POS-2009 certification, a credential at the Professional level. It is also connected with related credentials such as Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) SQL Server BI, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Business Intelligence, Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) Business Intelligence Developer. If you are mapping out a certification path with Microsoft, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.

The 78-702 exam includes 40-60 questions, and you have 120-150 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 2Pass4sure test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.

You need 700 (scaled score) to pass the 78-702 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 2Pass4sure 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.

Recommended experience with SQL Server, data warehousing concepts, ETL processes, and Microsoft BI tools such as SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS.

Eligibility rules can be adjusted by Microsoft over time, so before you register, confirm the current requirements on the official exam page: view the official 78-702 exam information.
