A test copy of SharePoint Server 2013 with Visual Studio lets you try the code examples yourself. Use the 189 practice questions to check your progress module by module.

About the 70-488 exam

Exam 70-488 tested the core skills for building SharePoint Server 2013 solutions, such as site design, sign-in and permissions, data access and business processes. It counted towards the MCSD: SharePoint Applications certification together with exam 70-489.

Microsoft has since retired its MCSD certifications in favour of role-based exams. Check Microsoft Learn for the status of 70-488 before you plan to sit it.
