How much time allowed for MCSA/MCSE exams?

How much time is allowed for 70-270, 70-290 and 70-291? Can't seem to find a firm answer on this after googling. Is it 3 hours or something? Thanks.

Should be 90 minutes. I would image it's the same on all their exams 210/215 were 90 which was more then enough time to finish.

For 70-290, 291, 293, and 294, you get 4 hours. 3.5 hours for answering questions, and another 30 minutes for doing optional surveys.

I stopped at 270....and I haven't looked into the 290 series yet. WOW 3.5 Hours....just not sure what to say on that

: (I would hope that's just being generous).

Yeah, they give you lots of time, not to be generous, but because by the time you're doing the 290 level exams most of the questions are scenario based with 3 paragraphs of information and a diagram on each question. You have to scroll the sceen to read the question, sometimes you have to click a link to open a window with the picture/diagram. Back and forth, back and forth. It's hard to answer a question when you can't see all the information in one screen. It really slows things down. By the third or fourth question of this type you're ready to go ballistic.

Yes, take advantage of the time. While it may seem like a lot, you'll be surprised how quick 1-2 hours will pass you by if your taking your time and double checking everything.

Don't rush, use your time wisely
