Simulate the real Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 exam with full-length timed sessions. Questions drawn proportionally from all 4 official blueprint domains — the same mix you'll face on test day.
Simulate real exam conditions
For the most realistic DP-900 simulation, start a 60 or 120-question session, put away all notes, set a timer matching the real exam duration (60 minutes), and commit to each answer before moving forward. This trains the time management and decision-making skills the real exam tests.
This free DP-900 mock exam uses the same question distribution as the real Microsoft Azure Data Fundamentals DP-900 exam. Each session draws questions proportionally from all 4 official blueprint domains published by Microsoft, so the topic mix you see accurately reflects what you'll face on test day.
DP-900 Domain Distribution
Describe core data concepts
Describe an analytics workload on Azure
Identify considerations for relational data on Azure
Describe considerations for working with non-relational data on Azure
Every question is written by certified engineers against the 2026 DP-900 exam objectives. These are original practice questions — not dumps — so you build real understanding rather than memorising answers.
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 DP-900 study plan.
Practice test — for learning
Use the DP-900 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 DP-900 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.

A manufacturer collects sensor data from thousands of IoT devices every second. The data is ingested into Azure Event Hubs and then needs to be stored for historical analysis. The analytics team will run complex aggregations and time-series queries over petabytes of data, expecting fast results even with large scans. Which Azure service should be used as the analytical data store?

A manufacturing company has a streaming data pipeline that ingests sensor data from factory equipment into Azure Event Hubs. The data must be prepared for reporting by cleaning invalid records, removing duplicates, and aggregating readings into 5-minute windows. The transformed data needs to be stored in a columnar format in a data lake to support efficient querying by data analysts using SQL. Which Azure service should perform the data transformation and loading?

A data analytics team stores sales transaction data in Parquet files in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2. They want to run complex analytical queries that join this data with dimension tables stored in Azure Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool. The team prefers not to move or copy the data from the data lake. Which feature should they use to query the data lake data directly?

A healthcare analytics company receives continuous streams of patient monitoring data from IoT devices. The data must be processed in near real-time to detect critical events (e.g., abnormal heart rate). Processed data is then stored in a columnar format for historical analysis and reporting by data analysts using SQL. Which combination of Azure services should they use for ingestion, processing, and storage?

A company runs an e-commerce application backed by an on-premises SQL Server database. They plan to migrate to Azure SQL Database and require automatic failover across two Azure regions for disaster recovery. The application must continue to connect using the same connection string after a failover, with no code changes. Which feature should they implement?

A social media application stores user profile data as JSON documents. Each user's document has a different structure, with fields that vary based on user activity. The application needs to query these documents efficiently using SQL-like syntax and support high write throughput. Which Azure data store is most appropriate for this workload?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
A ride-sharing application needs to store real-time GPS location updates from drivers and passengers. The data is ingested as key-value pairs where the key is the user ID and the value is a timestamped location. The application requires low-latency reads and writes for millions of concurrent users, and the data model is simple with no need for complex queries or joins. Which Azure NoSQL database API should be used for this workload?

Answer all 13 questions to see your domain score breakdown
Sitting the DP-900 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 DP-900 exam lasts 60 minutes. 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 DP-900 distractors contain a subtle error — re-read the scenario constraint before committing to the answer that sounds most familiar.
Microsoft writes many DP-900 questions as realistic 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 DP-900 is a mental marathon lasting 60 minutes. In the week before your exam, complete at least two full timed mock sessions on separate days to build concentration stamina. If you cannot stay focused for 60 minutes in practice, you will struggle on exam day.

Scaled scoring
The DP-900 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 700/1000 threshold, giving you a buffer for any unexpected question types on the real exam.
Yes. Courseiva provides free DP-900 mock exam questions across all official exam domains. The platform includes timed simulation, per-domain score breakdown, missed-question review, and readiness tracking. No account required — free forever, supported by advertising.
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.
Aim for consistent scores of 80% or above on full-length DP-900 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 difficulty variation and question styles on the real exam.
Most candidates who pass DP-900 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.
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.
