About the Exam 77-419: Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Exam

SharePoint administration involves choosing the right scope for configuration: a web application hosts sites, a site collection groups related sites, and libraries and lists manage content and structured records. Permission levels control what users can do, while library settings such as required check-out help manage concurrent document editing. The question bank also covers Managed Metadata Service concepts and choice columns, which support consistent classification and data entry. Other scenarios concern using Central Administration to manage farm settings and service applications, connecting SharePoint lists with spreadsheet work, and adding client-side behavior through a SharePoint 2013 customization option. Understanding these distinctions is useful when planning site structure, configuring collaboration, and troubleshooting how users create, edit, or find content.

Sample Practice Questions

Review a selection from this exam's published US Practice Tests practice bank.

Question 1

What is the primary function of a SharePoint 2013 web application?

  1. ATo provide an IIS-hosted web site that serves SharePoint content and is associated with a content database
  2. BTo define a single reusable metadata field
  3. CTo store only a user's personal documents
  4. DTo represent one item in a SharePoint list
Show answerCorrect answer: A

A SharePoint web application is an IIS-hosted application that provides access to SharePoint sites and is configured with authentication, web settings, and content database associations.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the SharePoint 2013 Managed Metadata Service?

  1. ATo centrally manage term sets and make them available for tagging
  2. BTo run scheduled database backups
  3. CTo assign IP addresses to web front ends
  4. DTo manage user passwords in Active Directory
Show answerCorrect answer: A

The Managed Metadata Service provides centralized management of term stores and term sets used for consistent metadata tagging across SharePoint.

Question 3

A site owner wants to let users create pages from a browser and organize them in a hierarchy within a site. Which library type is intended for storing and managing site pages?

  1. AForm Library
  2. BSite Pages library
  3. CPicture Library
  4. DSlide Library
Show answerCorrect answer: B

The Site Pages library stores pages used by a SharePoint site, including pages that users create and manage through the browser.

Question 4

In SharePoint 2013, what is the primary purpose of a site collection?

  1. ATo group related sites under a shared top-level site and administrative boundary
  2. BTo store only documents that have no metadata
  3. CTo provide a separate SQL Server instance for every site
  4. DTo replace the SharePoint farm configuration database
Show answerCorrect answer: A

A site collection contains a top-level site and its subsites, and serves as an important boundary for administration and features such as permissions and storage settings.

Question 5

In SharePoint 2013, what is the purpose of a SharePoint permission level?

  1. ATo group individual permissions into a reusable set that can be assigned to users or groups
  2. BTo specify the order in which search results are crawled
  3. CTo determine a site's visual theme
  4. DTo define the maximum number of columns in a list
Show answerCorrect answer: A

Permission levels bundle permissions such as viewing, editing, or managing content. They can be assigned through SharePoint groups or directly to users.

Question 6

A library owner wants users to check out a document before editing it, so simultaneous changes are less likely. Which library setting supports this process?

  1. ARequire check out
  2. BAudience targeting
  3. CDocument ID service
  4. DContent approval
Show answerCorrect answer: A

Requiring check out makes a user check out a document before editing it. Other users generally cannot check out and edit that same document until it is checked back in.

Question 7

A developer needs to add custom client-side behavior to a SharePoint page without modifying the SharePoint server installation. Which 2013-era option is intended for deploying certain client-side customizations in a site?

  1. ASharePoint Add-in
  2. BContent database backup
  3. CManaged account
  4. DFarm solution deployed to the global assembly cache
Show answerCorrect answer: A

SharePoint Add-ins provide a deployment model for app-like customizations and can include client-side components, with behavior hosted in SharePoint or remotely. A database backup and managed account are not customization deployment mechanisms; a farm solution is a server-side deployment approach.

How to use this practice test

The free practice session draws up to 20 random questions from the 50-question bank and displays results after the session. Use each result to identify concepts to revisit, such as permission levels, library behavior, site hierarchy, or farm administration, then retry to check your understanding.

Preparation tips

  • Sketch the relationship between a web application, site collection, site, list, and library; note the scope each provides.
  • Compare SharePoint permission levels with the settings that control document editing, including required check-out and its effect on simultaneous changes.
  • Review how Managed Metadata Service terms differ from choice-column values when classifying content or collecting list data.
  • Practice identifying when Central Administration is used for farm settings and service applications, versus when a site-level setting is appropriate.
  • Trace a list-update workflow between SharePoint and a spreadsheet application, including how edits are synchronized.
