83-640 vs. 70-640

I have received many emails from our candidates to ask about the difference is between TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring (70-640) and TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring (83-640). So, here's the answer. The difference between the (70-640) and (83-640) is the format of some of the questions you'll be asked.

The (83-640) exam consists mostly of multiple choice questions, but also includes some performance-based “virtual-lab questions.” The (70-640) exam includes only multiple choice questions.

That's the only difference. The content you need to know to pass is the same for either the (83-640) or (70-640) exams. The performance-based “virtual lab” questions on the (83-640) exam allow a technician to prove their knowledge by completing various tasks in a lab environment. These are tasks that you must know in order to pass either exam. So, your study and preparation will likely be the same for either version of the exam.

The price of admission is the same, whether you're taking the (83-640) or (70-640). Like all Microsoft exams, (83-640) or (70-640) are available only at Prometric Test Centers. Microsoft vouchers are essentially “one size fits all,” so you can take either exam with a Prometric Microsoft Voucher.
