BLOOMINGTON, Minn.,
June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Microsoft has expanded its partnership with Pearson VUE by
appointing it as the worldwide Microsoft Certified Practice Test
Provider.
Microsoft Official Practice Tests, powered by MeasureUp, provide
candidates with critical, customized assessment and remediation
tools, helping them gain confidence, master technical content, and
make the best use of their certification preparation time.
Industry-recognized Microsoft Certifications are highly regarded
by IT hiring managers, who use them to measure a candidate's skill
levels and determine how well candidates can work with specific
Microsoft technologies, hardware and software.
"We are excited to partner with Pearson VUE as our worldwide
Microsoft Certified Practice Test Provider," said Alison Cunard, General Manager of Microsoft's
Learning Experiences group. "Our goal is to provide MCPs and
candidates with a full solution from preparation to examination,
and Pearson VUE's portfolio of practice tests is an additional
preparation tool to aid in their certification success."
The MeasureUp practice test platform is recognized for its
innovative use of simulation question types, comprehensive
explanations, complete coverage of exam objectives and in-depth
reporting. The practice test functionality provides candidates the
opportunity to customize their experience so they can drill down to
the exact areas where they are weakest, allowing them to maximize
study effectiveness.
In addition, MeasureUp's recent technology updates allow users
to enjoy the ease of studying using multiple devices — including
their desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone.
"Pearson VUE is pleased to have been chosen as the Microsoft
Certified Practice Test Provider," said Bob
Whelan, managing director of Pearson VUE. "This expanded
portfolio of Microsoft Official Practice Tests, powered by
MeasureUp, will help candidates better prepare for their
certification exams. With Microsoft's reach and with the robust
quality of our practice test offering, we believe we can provide IT
professionals and instructors the tools for career certification
success."
Pearson VUE and Microsoft will make Microsoft Official Practice
Tests available through multiple channels to enable both test
candidates and training partners the opportunity to use this
effective study tool. For more information, please visit
