The 70-298 Exam is presented in case study format, a format that you should already be familiar with at this point. You will have 5 different businesses to work with, answering 4-10 questions each according to their business requirements.
Though this format is a little extra challenging, don’t let it scare you. It’s really not that hard if you know what to expect and what to look for. Here are some tips:
Don’t read through the entire case study at the start. By this I mean don’t spend a lot of time on it reading it carefully like it’s a novel; it’s too long to memorize. Some people find skimming through the case study helps them and others (like me) prefer to start immediately on the questions and reference the case study for each question. It’s mostly a matter of personal preference, but just don’t spend more than a couple minutes on the case study at the start or you may really handcuff yourself when it comes to time.

Pay special note to what the free practice IT questions asks. Very often, the question will tell you exactly where in case study to find your answer. For example, it’ll say “…that complies with the business requirements” or “…that addresses the concerns of the Chief Information Officer,” telling you exactly where to look. Just keep in mind that, sometimes, you won’t find the complete answer there.
Skim through the Background and Existing Infrastructure sections of the case study, but don’t waste too much time reading them. All of your questions will involve implementing new infrastructure and procedures. I usually don’t check these sections until I can’t find the answer elsewhere or if I suspect that the answer may hinge on the pre-existing infrastructure (such as legacy systems that can’t be upgraded or the number of people in each office).
The “meat” of most case studies is the Business Requirements section. This is the section that you’ll be referencing the most. Also, if you’re not sure where to look to find an answer, try there first. The Technical Requirements section is a close second.
After you complete all questions for a case study, choose the Review All button and check all of your answers. This is much more important for case study exams because buried in the case study might be a piece of IT certification that changes your answer to question #2 and that you didn’t happen to stumble upon until you were on question #7.
