Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900) Practice Exams

The Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals (DP-900) certification validates foundational knowledge of core data concepts and how they map to Microsoft Azure data services. It is part of the Microsoft fundamentals family, alongside AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals) and AI-900/AI-901 (AI Fundamentals), and is recognised by employers worldwide as proof that you understand the building blocks of cloud data: relational and non-relational stores, transactional and analytical workloads, ingestion, batch and streaming pipelines, and visualisation in Power BI.

DP-900 is aimed at candidates who are beginning their journey with data in the cloud. You do not need previous data engineering or database administration experience, but familiarity with relational versus non-relational data, transactional versus analytical workloads, and basic cloud concepts will help. The certification is a strong starting point for anyone planning to pursue the Azure Database Administrator Associate (DP-300) or Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203) tracks, as well as data analysts who use Microsoft Fabric or Power BI in their day job.

The exam is delivered as a proctored 45 minute assessment with roughly 40 to 60 questions. A passing score of 700 out of 1000 is required. Item formats include multiple choice, multi-select, drag and drop, build list, and yes or no question groups. The four exam domains are weighted as follows: Describe core data concepts (25 to 30 percent), Identify considerations for relational data on Azure (20 to 25 percent), Describe considerations for working with non-relational data on Azure (15 to 20 percent), and Describe an analytics workload on Azure (25 to 30 percent).

Practice exams are essential for DP-900 because questions test your ability to map a scenario to the right Azure service. Many items describe a workload (transactional, analytical, document, graph, real-time, batch) and ask you to identify the appropriate Azure offering or the correct configuration choice. Realistic mock questions help you build the pattern recognition needed under time pressure, surface gaps in less obvious areas such as Cosmos DB consistency levels or Power BI service tiers, and rehearse the wording style Microsoft uses.

These practice exams give you 25 sets of 20 questions, 500 unique questions in total, mapped to the official DP-900 domains and weighted to match exam proportions. Each question includes a detailed explanation that tells you why the correct answer is right and why the others are wrong, so studying remains productive even when you score well. The first set is completely free, and the difficulty mix spans Easy, Medium, and Hard items so you can warm up before stress-testing your knowledge.
