I was recently asked what are the best ways to prepare for the 70-573 SharePoint Developer exam. I pinged a couple of folks who had gone through the process, and below are the responses I received from them.

From Kirk:

“I used the MeasureUp practice tests…”

From Matthew:

“I used the SharePoint Developer Training modules…and I even passed!!!”

From Matthew (a different one):

“I took and passed the exam. I reviewed the Exam site: https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-573 and then reviewed the interfaces that I had less experience with (like Excel Services). Time at the keyboard is a definite plus.”

There’s lot to chew through, but I hope this gives you a sense for what folks are looking at as they prepare for the exam.

Good luck!
