The 50-704 exam is the official Novell (now part of OpenText/Micro Focus) exam behind the Novell Other Certification certification, validating the skills measured by the Novell Open Enterprise Server for Linux+ZENworks credential. It also connects to Novell Certified Linux Administrator, Novell Open Enterprise Server Administrator, ZENworks Administrator, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The 50-704 exam contains 140–150 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the ActualVCE test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the 50-704 exam is 675 (on a 1000-point scale), and the official registration fee is ≈ USD 155. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 150 practice questions on ActualVCE, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Recommended experience with Linux administration and Novell/Micro Focus networking services. Requirements can change when Novell (now part of OpenText/Micro Focus) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
