tried to learn myself some new skills .... not that sweet since I have to force myself to learn other guys technology.
the current version of Office 365 is wave 15 , exchange 2013, sharepoint 2013, and lync 2013
however the exam itself is focused on wave 14, ie, exchange 2010, sharepoint 2010, and lync 2010
i think MS's plan is to push out a new one in May 2014
study books: cbt nugget; MS free ebook, MS MVA various internet sources
hands on experience: Office 365 migration
anyway, here is my brain dump
55 question in 150 minutes,
70% to pass
drop & drop, hot spot.
the main thing for me is the sharepoint, I am reasonably fimilar with sharepoint 3. When I looked at Sharepoint 2010 /2013, I am shocked by the vastness of those sharepoints 2010 , 2013. they become so complicated, new terms never heard of until I watched the videos / books
to get youself pass this one, you need be good at sharepoint as 1/3 of questions are sharepoint
to my disappointment, exchange + lync questions only 1/3 ; be sure you know the lync ports. if you have done Exchange P1 plan, exchange 2010 questions are not hard. be good at hub-transport rules
office 365 admin questions another 1/3, make sure you know the admin roles like Global administrator, password administrator, funny thing is bill admin can also monitor service health.
all I can see is Microsoft is pushing hard with their SharePoint
here is the full desc from MS website
