Passing it grants the MCSA: SQL Server 2012/2014 certification, a credential at the Professional level. It also relates to MCSA: SQL Server 2012/2014, 70-461: Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014, 70-463: Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014, giving it value beyond a single title.

The Microsoft Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 Databases exam presents 40–60 questions across 120 minutes. Attention fades over long stretches, which is exactly why exam pacing deserves deliberate practice: short, focused timed sessions in the PracticeTorrent test engine teach you to spend your sharpest minutes wisely, flag generously, and never let one question consume the time meant for five.

Official registration for Microsoft Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012/2014 Databases costs USD $165 (varies by country/region), with 700 (on a scale of 1–1000) needed to pass.
