Microsoft Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 (070-740) — Questions Candidates Actually Ask
The 070-740 exam, officially known as Microsoft Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016, is the Microsoft test that leads to the MCSA: Windows Server 2016 (retired) certification at the Professional level. Passing it validates the skills employers expect from a certified professional. It is also associated with related credentials such as MCSA: Windows Server 2016.
The 070-740 exam contains 40-60 (approx.) questions, and you have 120 minutes to complete them. Work out your per-question pace before test day, and flag slow items instead of stalling on them — time pressure, not knowledge, sinks many first attempts. Timed mock exams in the Actual4Exams test engines are the most reliable way to build that rhythm.
The passing score for the 070-740 exam is 700 (on a 1000-point scale), and the official registration fee is $165 USD (varies by region). If you miss the mark, a retake means paying the full fee again, so book your seat only when you are ready. A practical benchmark: score consistently above the passing line on timed practice tests before scheduling the real exam.
