Preparation Hints
Microsoft does not provide any formal prerequisites to the 77-888 exam. Even so, anyone who is considering taking Exam 77-888 should first attempt Exam 77-882: Excel 2010. Doing so will help candidates to get a feel for the types of questions that they will encounter, but there is an added benefit.
The result sheet that candidates receive upon the completion of a Microsoft certification exam typically breaks the scoring down into several different categories. This allows candidates to see the areas where they have the strongest knowledge, as well as any weak areas. If Exam 77-882 does reveal any Excel related weaknesses then it will be critical for the candidate to spend time focusing on those areas prior to attempting an expert level exam.
Recommended Study Resources
Exam 77-888 is not one of Microsoft’s more popular exams, so there are relatively few reputable training materials available. However, there are at least two worthwhile study resources, including:
