Simulate real exam conditions
For the most realistic AZ-305 simulation, start a 60 or 120-question session, put away all notes, set a timer matching the real exam duration (120 minutes), and commit to each answer before moving forward. This trains the time management and decision-making skills the real exam tests.
What this AZ-305 mock exam covers
This free AZ-305 mock exam uses the same question distribution as the real Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert AZ-305 exam. Each session draws questions proportionally from all 4 blueprint domains published by Microsoft, so the topic mix you see accurately reflects what you'll face on test day.
AZ-305 Domain Distribution
Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions
Design data storage solutions
Design business continuity solutions
Design infrastructure solutions
Every question is written by certified engineers against the 2026 AZ-305 exam objectives. These are original practice questions — not dumps — so you build real understanding rather than memorising answers.
Mock exam vs practice test: what's the difference?
Both the mock exam and practice test use the same question bank. The difference is in how you use them — and when to use each during your AZ-305 study plan.
Practice test — for learning
Use the AZ-305 practice test when you are studying a domain. Answer questions, read every explanation immediately, and build understanding. Do 10–30 questions per domain per session. This is your primary study tool for the first 4 weeks.
Go to practice test →Mock exam — for simulation
Use the AZ-305 mock exam in the final 1–2 weeks before your test date. Complete a 60 or 120-question session without stopping, manage your time, then review all results at the end. This builds exam-day stamina and surfaces final weak spots.

AZ-305 exam-day strategy
Sitting the AZ-305 under real exam conditions is a skill in itself. Candidates who underperform often do so not because of knowledge gaps, but because of poor time management or test anxiety. Use your final mock exam sessions to address both.
The AZ-305 gives you 0.4 minutes per question. Do not spend more than 90 seconds on any single question on the first pass. Flag difficult ones and return to them after completing the rest.
On every question, immediately eliminate obviously wrong choices. Even if you are unsure between two options, narrowing to two doubles your odds. Most AZ-305 distractors contain a subtle error — look for absolute language (always, never, only) as a red flag.
Microsoft writes many AZ-305 questions as realistic IT scenarios. Read the final sentence first — it tells you what is being asked. Then re-read the scenario with the question in mind to avoid wasting time on irrelevant details.
The real AZ-305 is a mental marathon. In the week before your exam, do at least two full 300-question sessions on separate days to build concentration stamina. If you cannot focus for 120 minutes in practice, you will struggle on exam day.

Scaled scoring
The AZ-305 uses scaled scoring — your raw percentage correct is converted to a score out of 1000. Consistently scoring above 80% on mock exams puts you well above the 700 threshold, giving you a buffer for any unexpected question types on the real exam.
AZ-305 mock exam — frequently asked questions
Is this AZ-305 mock exam free?
Yes — all mock exam questions are completely free with no account required. Create a free Courseiva account to save your scores, see per-domain performance, and track your readiness over time. The platform is free forever, supported by advertising.
How does the AZ-305 mock exam differ from the practice test?
The practice test is optimised for learning: you see explanations after each question immediately. The mock exam is optimised for simulation: you answer all questions under time pressure and review at the end. Use practice tests for studying and mock exams for benchmarking.
What score should I aim for before booking my AZ-305 exam?
Aim for consistent scores of 80% or above on full-length AZ-305 mock exams before booking your test date. The official passing score of 700/1000 corresponds to roughly 72–75% correct answers, so an 80% buffer accounts for the difficulty variation and question styles on the real exam.
How many times should I do a full AZ-305 mock exam?
Most candidates who pass AZ-305 on their first attempt complete 3–5 full-length mock exams in the two weeks before their test. This is enough to identify final weak spots, build stamina, and verify readiness without over-stressing or running out of fresh questions.
Are these AZ-305 mock questions the same as exam dumps?
No — all Courseiva questions are original, written by certified engineers against public Microsoft exam blueprints. Exam dumps are memorised real exam questions shared illegally. Using dumps violates your Microsoft certification agreement and can result in your certification being revoked. Our questions make you genuinely competent, not just test-day lucky.
