074-324 Exam Questions Answered: Microsoft Candidates' FAQ
Microsoft Administering Office 365 for Small Businesses is an official exam run by Microsoft under exam code 074-324. Passing it awards the Microsoft Office 365 - Small Business Competency certification, which sits at the Specialist tier. It also counts toward related credentials such as Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP). Certified professionals remain in shorter supply than the market wants, which is precisely why this exam keeps showing up in conversations about better roles and better pay.
The Microsoft Administering Office 365 for Small Businesses exam gives you 90 minutes to work through 50-70 questions. That is a tight ratio, and it punishes candidates who get emotionally attached to any single item. The fix is mechanical: answer what you know, flag what you do not, and keep moving. A few full-length timed runs in the Actual4Exams test engine, with its randomized question order, will calibrate your pace far better than untimed reading ever could.
The official fee for Microsoft Administering Office 365 for Small Businesses is USD $80-$95 (historical standard), and 700 is what passing takes. The uncomfortable part: retakes cost the full USD $80-$95 (historical standard) again, which makes preparation the cheapest line item in this whole project. Before booking, put yourself through repeated scored sessions with the Actual4Exams practice tests and compare results over time; a stable margin above the passing line, not a single lucky run, is when you are ready.
