Pass DP-900 certification from Azure

These are a series of free practice questions and tests to help you pass DP-900 – Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals. They are written completely by me based on my review of the publicly available course materials. Unlike some sites, these are not exam dumps, so are a perfectly honest and legitimate way to study towards your Azure DP-900 certification.

These practice questions should be seen as a supplement to Microsoft Learn and not a replacement. My number one tip for passing Azure DP-900 is to complete the free learning paths on Microsoft Learn for the DP-900 course.

This series is a work in progress so please keep coming back for more questions and quizzes. I didn’t want to wait until everything was published before sharing this help with you. I hope that you enjoy the practice questions and good luck with your mission to pass DP-900.

I’d also appreciate any feedback if any of the answers appear to be incorrect or if the questions are too easy or too hard.

More questions, quizzes and links are added almost daily. Bookmark this page and come back for new practice questions to help you pass DP-900.

My initial goal was just to pass the 70-462 exam (Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases) as my boss had suggested it would be a good thing to learn. This was the first I had heard about Microsoft certifications. From there, with each subsequent exam pass, I just extended my goal to MCSA SQL Server 2012 and then MCSE Data Platform.

Timeline

I had set the target of passing 70-462 by the end of 2013 which would be just over 1 year as a DBA. The great thing about the certification is you can do the 70-461, 70-462 and 70-463 in any order. Since most of my limited knowledge was about Database Administration and the subject I needed to learn most about initially was also Database Administration, this was a no brainer.
