Has anyone taken Microsoft Exam 70-761: Querying Data with Transact-SQL? If so, how difficult was it?

Answer 1

Hey there Lee, it appears not many people here in SoloLearn take that course, so I'd direct you to check out this post from Reddit:

Answer 2

I took the exam recently. The difficulty level varies depending on your experience with SQL and querying data. If you're familiar with T-SQL concepts like joins, subqueries, data types, and error handling, the exam is manageable. However, it can be challenging for those without hands-on experience. As Microsoft certification exams (https://www.study4exam.com/microsoft-exams) test both theoretical knowledge and practical query writing skills, practice is key, especially with complex queries, indexing, and performance tuning. Overall, it's moderately difficult but achievable with solid preparation and familiarity with SQL Server's features
