Take a Practice Test
You may also want to assess your skill level by taking a practice test. Although your score on a practice test will not necessarily indicate what your score would be on a certification exam, a practice test does assess your readiness and lets you know in what areas you need work. Many companies sell practice tests; Microsoft's Certified Practice Test Provider program evaluates practice tests, ensuring the highest quality.
