Why should I take the MS-203 exam?

The MS-203 certification presents you with the ideal opportunity to progress your career as a Microsoft 365 messaging administrator. Microsoft 365 messaging administrators are able to manage Microsoft Exchange Online settings and resources, plan and manage the mail transport architecture, and secure the messaging environment. If you are interested in learning about this subject matter or even if you already have this knowledge and wish to validate your skills, then the MS-203 certification is a good place to do so. If you are new to Microsoft 365 but are interested in obtaining the MS-203 certification, then a good place to start would be the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals certification, MS-900.

The MS-203 practice test includes two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode allows you to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, with practice mode allowing you to focus on the areas that need development.

System Requirements

A practice test is a realistic exam simulation whose objective is to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test contains approximately 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. Each MeasureUp practice test contains two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

The Practice Mode provides users with the ability to highly customize their testing environment. They can determine how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to complete the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will interact with when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to view the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

How does it work?

Why should you trust MeasureUp over free Learning material?

MeasureUp	Free learning material
A greater number of questions, so more opportunities to learn.	A small bank of questions to introduce the exam.
In-depth explanations with online references of correct and incorrect answers.	Brief or no explanations of both correct and incorrect answer options.
A total of fourteen different question types.	Fewer question types than on the exam.
Customize the test based on your needs. Certification & Practice Mode.	Just one type of assessment, without customization options and without a time countdown.

Will studying with a MeasureUp practice test improve my chances of passing at the first attempt?

Yes. MeasureUp's practice tests have been specifically designed to help you both in terms of saving time and enabling you to pass at the first attempt. The test is fully customizable, allowing you to discover and target your weak areas. This makes the learning process quicker and smoother. Also, as the style, objectives, question type, and difficulty are the same as those found on the official exam, you can be confident that when you pass the practice test twice in Certification Mode, you are exam ready.

What can I expect to earn if I pass the MS-203 exam?

On passing the MS-203, and obtaining a job as a mid-level administrator, you can expect to earn a salary in the United States of approximately $100,000.

How to use an online Practice Test?

In a Practice Test there are two specific test-taking modes to help students prepare for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

Practice Mode. The Practice Mode allows users to highly customize their testing environment. They may select how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to finish the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test.
Certification Mode. The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will encounter when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to see the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

Will the questions be the same as the actual exam?

Although the questions will emulate those of the official exam in terms of style, content, level of difficulty, for reasons of copyright they will not be identical. This will enable you to fully understand the content you are studying so that, no matter how the questions are focused, you can be confident you are covering the same material and that you will have no issues in passing the exam.
