Microsoft Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Advanced Solutions (70-489) Practice Exam

Reviewed bookmarked questions the morning of the exam. That last pass over my weak spots was useful.

Good for last-mile prep if you already know the product. Don’t expect a full course; expect exam practice.

I failed a different cert last year from under-preparing. Didn’t make that mistake here — finished the set, then sat.

Passed Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2…. Several questions on the live test used the same decision patterns I had already practiced here.

Booked 70-489 two days after my last practice run. Confidence was high enough that waiting would have just added anxiety.

Realistic stems, useful notes, no spammy upsells inside the practice UI. Appreciated the focus.

I liked seeing both easy confidence-builders and nasty edge cases in the same bank.

I liked that difficulty varies. Easy ones build speed; the hard ones force you to think like the exam writers.

Quietly effective. No hype in the product, which oddly made me trust the material more.

Did one domain at a time until accuracy stayed above ~80%, then mixed sets. Passed Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2….

I failed 70-489 once with random dumps. Switched to this set, focused on explanations, and passed three weeks later. Night-and-day difference.

I was weak on the longer case-style items. Drilling those here closed the gap; scored comfortably over the cut.

Had about a month. Finished the set once, then a second pass on bookmarked misses. That was enough.

Real exam felt like a continuation of practice, not a surprise quiz. That’s rare with prep materials.

No nonsense. Questions, answers, explanations. That’s what I wanted for Developing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2….

Used the bookmark feature heavily. My “wrong twice” list became the only thing I studied the final two days.

I’m not a natural test-taker. Repetition here reduced the panic factor more than anything else.

Realistic enough that exam day wasn’t a shock. Knocked one star off for a few outdated-feeling stems.

Passed 70-489. If you’re already familiar with the domain, this is enough volume to get exam-ready without fluff.

Explanations are concise — not essay-length walls of text. Easy to revise on a commute.

Bought access, finished ~70% of the bank, then focused on misses. That was my whole study plan.

I compared a few providers; this one had fewer typos and better distractors. That decided it for me.

I’m usually skeptical of “exam dumps.” This felt more like guided practice. Cleared 70-489 last month.

After finishing, I could explain answers out loud — good sign I wasn’t just pattern-matching letters.

Clearer than the free PDFs floating around. Explanations actually cite the reasoning instead of just restating the answer.

Recommended it in our study Slack. Three of us sat 70-489 this quarter; all passed after using this set.

Scored lower on early practice runs than I liked. Kept going; the curve bent up before exam week.

Not flashy, just solid practice. Instant feedback made it easy to fix weak domains before exam day.

The overlap people talk about felt real for me — roughly in the 98% ballpark on topics and framing.

Used this during a busy on-call rotation — 20 questions when I could. Still cleared 70-489.

Used this as my primary bank and cleared the exam. UI is simple (good), question count could be higher for heavy topics.

Passed 70-489. Coverage of the core domains was strong; I wanted a few more obscure edge cases before exam day.

Short review: good questions, better explanations, passed 70-489. Moving on to the next cert next quarter.

I came from a non-traditional background. Structured practice here made the exam feel learnable.
