The Microsoft Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications exam includes 40-60 questions to be completed within 150 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Microsoft Designing and Developing Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Applications exam you need 700 (on a scale of 1000), and the official registration fee is USD 150 (standard Microsoft certification exam price, region may vary).

You need to design a plan for the customer to set up the Web servers to support all of the languages and meet the requirements. What should you recommend that the customer do next?
- A. Install a language pack for each of the languages needed to display all site pages correctly. Include each of the language-specific site templates used to create the current sites.
