Microsoft Certification

How will a candidate know if new features and functionality that are added as part of a service pack/revision will be assessed on the exam?

The exam details page gets updated to notify candidates if the content related to a service pack and/or revision is likely to be added to the exam.

What is the process for determining whether new functionality that is added as part of the service pack/revision release will be included on the exam?

When a product update is released that changes functionality, Microsoft review the changes against the objective domain and the existing questions to determine whether any content areas and/or questions have become technically inaccurate because of the changes. Technically inaccurate questions are removed from the exam. If the change adds functionality that maps to an existing objective, new items may be included to address this functionality without making changes to the objective domain; such changes will be reflected in the ”may include” statements. Occasionally, new objectives may be added to cover new skills and/or functionality that subject-matter experts believe is necessary to demonstrate competence with the technology.
