Become a Microsoft 70-461- Querying Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Certified:

-

In today’s competitive world, technical certifications play an important role in advancing your Professional career. It is a great way to validate and sharpen your technical skills, thus helping you in being more productive in your assignments. It also helps you to stand out from the crowd and get more visibility. A few months back I decided to appear the Microsoft Exam 70-461: Querying SQL Server 2012/2014 and was able to successfully pass the exam. I have been working with SQL Server for more than 10 years, but I must admit that preparing for this exam was a great experience and I got to learn so many new things which I did not get a chance to work on during my day-to-day work. Everyday someone in the community plans to take this certification exam and I have bounced into multiple questions in social forums and groups asking for tips and guidance to pass the 70-461 Exam. This prompted me to come up with this article and share my experience with the community and hopefully it will be helpful for anyone who is planning to take this certification.


Skills Required

The 70-461 exam include questions from the below area:

  • Create database objects (20–25%)
  • Work with data (25–30%)
  • Modify data (20–25%)
  • Troubleshoot and optimize (25–30%)

And after appearing the exam I must admit that the questions were well spread across, as mentioned in the percentages above. No surprises there! My first suggestion will be to take this exam as an opportunity to learn more about SQL Server. No matter if you are a beginner or experienced SQL developer, there will be areas in which you do not have practical working experience – and those will be the areas where you need to first focus on. After going through the exam syllabus, I figured out that I need to practice more on few selected areas on which I do not get the opportunity to work often like XML Data type, Windowing functions, Transactions and Isolation Levels. Looking back, I think this decision paid off and I was able to successfully able to handle questions on these areas – though I was a bit surprised to find lot more questions from these areas than I had expected. You need to practice from Dumps or any online questions to pass the exam. one more thing you need to make sure that you practice writing SQL queries. Having just a theoretical knowledge won’t help you pass this exam. I would highly encourage you to download pdf dumps & software practice test of SQL Certification if you already don’t have it. You can then download a sample database and practice writing queries. There are lot of resources provided by CertMagic which will help you to answer some of the frequently asked questions about the certification exam.

Good luck,
