Microsoft’s psychometrician, someone who knows the ins and outs of Microsoft’s certification exams, will lead this discussion on Microsoft’s exam development process and anti-piracy campaign, how to prepare for our certification exams and what to expect when you take one, and how you can make a difference in our certification program.
