There are 0 cards in here. You are not meant to face them all at once. Work one topic at a time, in rounds of 10, in the order below. Each step is roughly one sitting.

Exam facts worth knowing

  • Pass mark is 700 out of 1000 — it is a scaled score, not a percentage of questions.
  • Around 45–50 questions, roughly 45 minutes of exam time.
  • No penalty for a wrong answer — never leave a blank.
  • Question styles: multiple choice, multi-select, drag-and-drop matching, and yes/no series.
  • The outline is "describe" throughout — you need to recognise what a service is for, not configure it.

Where the marks are

What is not on this exam

Do not burn time on these — they were dropped from the outline:

  • Databases — Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, MySQL/PostgreSQL
  • AI, machine learning, and IoT service families
  • Azure DevOps, Logic Apps, Event Grid / Service Bus as topics in their own right
  • Azure Blueprints, the Service Trust Portal, and the TCO Calculator are no longer named in the outline (the TCO idea is still worth a minute of your time)

Before you book it

  • Take the free official practice assessment on Microsoft Learn — it is the closest thing to the real question style.
  • Score 85%+ on it twice before booking.
  • Get every card in here to Got it at least once, then run a "Review pile only" pass the day before.
