The 070-178 exam is the official assessment for the Microsoft Project 2010, Managing Projects certification offered by Microsoft. It checks whether you can apply the knowledge areas in the exam objectives to practical situations, and passing it earns a credential that employers across the industry recognize. For professionals who feel stuck in their current role, it is often the most concrete next step available.
No formal prerequisites; experience with project management concepts and Microsoft Project 2010 is recommended.
The official outline for the 070-178 exam highlights these domains:

Weighting your study time toward the heavier domains first is a sensible strategy, and the Microsoft Project 2010, Managing Projects practice questions at RealVCE follow the same objective structure.
Microsoft recommends the following training resources for 070-178 exam candidates:
Pairing official courses with timed practice sessions tends to work well, since one builds knowledge and the other builds exam-day rhythm.
The 070-178 exam gives you 120 minutes minutes to answer 40-60 questions. That pace leaves little room for hesitation, which is why rehearsing under a timer — for example with the online test engine at RealVCE, where you can set the session length just like the real test — is such a useful habit.
The online test engine is exclusive to RealVCE and runs on any electronic device — phone, tablet, or computer — with no installation barriers. It recreates the atmosphere of the real 070-178 exam: you set the test time the way it will be on exam day, work through the Microsoft Project 2010, Managing Projects practice questions under that pressure, and at the end the engine marks the questions you got wrong and reminds you to practice them again next time. Over a few sessions, that loop turns weak areas into reliable ones.
To pass the 070-178 exam you need a score of 700, and the registration fee is USD 125 (historical, varies by region). Since each attempt costs the full fee, arriving over-prepared is cheaper than arriving under-prepared — timed mock sessions and repeated review of missed questions are the usual ways candidates close that gap.
