Skills measured
This exam measures your ability to accomplish the technical tasks listed below. The percentages indicate the relative weight of each major topic area in the exam. The higher the percentage, the more questions you are likely to see on that content area in the exam.
From 30 April 2014, the questions on this exam include content covering Visual Studio 2013 and updates to Microsoft Azure.
Please note that the questions may test on, but will not be limited to, the topics described in the bulleted text.
