070-247 Exam FAQ: Difficulty, Details, and Preparation
The 070-247 exam is the required test for earning the Microsoft Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 certification from Microsoft. It assesses your command of the official exam objectives through scenario-based and knowledge questions, and the resulting credential is widely recognized by employers. Its reputation for difficulty is real but manageable — candidates who practice consistently with quality materials routinely walk in well prepared.
The official outline for the 070-247 exam highlights these domains:
- Configure the Fabric (25-30%)
- Configure System Center Integration (15-20%)
- Configure System Center Infrastructure (20-25%)
Seeing the topics laid out this way often shrinks the exam's intimidation factor — each domain is a finite, learnable block, and the Microsoft Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 practice questions at RealVCE follow the same structure.
Recommended: Windows Server 2012/R2, Active Directory, Hyper-V, networking/storage, basic SQL Server and PowerShell knowledge; no mandatory prerequisite exams
The 070-247 exam is demanding, but its difficulty is specific, not mysterious: unfamiliar question formats, time pressure, and a few heavily weighted domains. All three respond to the same remedy — repeated, timed exposure to exam-style questions. That is what the Microsoft Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 practice materials at RealVCE provide, and the free demo lets you measure the real difficulty yourself before committing, which is usually the moment the fear starts shrinking.
The 070-247 exam consists of 45-60 questions with a time allowance of 120-150 minutes. Practicing full sets under a similar time cap is the most direct way to make sure pacing never costs you points on exam day.
Microsoft offers these training resources for candidates:
Official courses explain the material; practice questions teach you how the exam asks about it. Most successful candidates use both.
Because seeing beats guessing. The free demo of the 070-247 exam materials at RealVCE contains genuine samples from the full Microsoft Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 question set — same format, same expert-verified answers — and downloading it costs nothing. If you are unsure whether the materials match your level or your study style, the demo answers that question with evidence rather than marketing, and every demo on the site is free of charge.
The passing score is 700 / 1000 and the exam fee is $165 USD. Knowing both numbers early helps you plan: aim to be consistently above the passing mark in timed practice sessions before you spend the fee on a booking.
