Simulation (Practice) MCP tests
(Print Flyer in PDF format)  What is PDF?

MCP exams and qualifications are a great way of demonstrating your knowledge and expertise and in turn getting increased recognition of your value. (See independent research  'The Value of Certification for Solution Developers'  & Financial Benefits to Supporters of Microsoft Professional Certification).

However, it can also be quite challenging to obtain a  good pass mark and effective exam preparation is vital. To help our customers prepare and pass MCP exams we had formed a partnership with MeasureUp to offer their Simulation MCP tests at cost - £15 per test per month via Internet access - SEE IMPORTANT NOTE

Practice tests from Microsoft Certified Professional Practice Test Providers can help you prepare for certification exams. Although your score on a practice test does not necessarily indicate what your score would be on a certification exam, a practice test gives you the opportunity to assess your knowledge and readiness and provides feedback. Practice tests can supplement, but should not substitute, the training and required hands-on work experience in the skills covered by the exam objectives. Practice tests help you gain confidence and identify areas in which you may need some additional study, training, or experience.

Microsoft Certified Professional Practice Test Providers

Because many companies sell practice tests, Microsoft's practice test provider program evaluates practice test providers to help Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) candidates select the highest quality products. Practice test providers that have been approved by Microsoft bear the Microsoft Certified Professional Practice Test Provider logo.

The following providers offer Microsoft approved practice test products. Please visit their Web sites to learn more about their products and download free sample practice tests.

To be approved by Microsoft, a practice test provider must do the following:

  • Submit practice tests to Microsoft for quality reviews.

  • Offer products with the functionality to provide feedback for each question (MCP exams are not designed to provide feedback).
  • Cover all of the exam objectives as specified in the Microsoft exam preparation guide.
  • Provide a wide range of practice test titles to cover the content of most Microsoft exams.
  • Include a variety of questions and question types.
  • Provide technical support for its products.
  • Include real-world, complex scenarios that are similar to those in MCP exams and that discourage rote memorization of exam items.
  • Support the integrity of MCP exams and the value of the credential.
Microsoft is currently not accepting applications from other practice test providers.

Why choose MeasureUp and F1?

MeasureUp are one of only two Microsoft Certified Professional Practice Test Providers and have been used by over 500,000 IT professionals worldwide. 

They work in partnership with Microsoft to develop practice tests that are reflective of the actual MCP exams. Compare this to some of the other non approved practice test providers who work on the edge of legality when it comes to cheating and copying actual questions from the exams themselves.  

F1 offers MeasureUp Internet based simulation exams free with each MCSD package and we also provide them at the not-for-profit basis of £15 per test per 30 days.

* IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A STRICT 30 DAY PERIOD AND BEGINS FROM THE DATE WHEN YOU FIRST LOG ON TO START THE PRACTICE TEST. IF YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PRACTICE TIME YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL £15 FEE PER MONTH.  ONE FREE PRACTICE TEST PER QUALIFYING COURSE.

If required we can also supply CD based Simulation tests.

F1's Trainers are able to track and monitor your progress through the practice tests and offer help and advice as to where and how you need to concentrate your efforts to do well in the actual exam.

F1 also handles the paperwork and credit card approval so that you can get on with revising for your MCP exam.
