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.
What this DP-900 mock exam covers
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 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
Identify considerations for relational data on Azure
Describe considerations for working with non-relational data on Azure
Describe an analytics workload 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.
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 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 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?

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?

DP-900 exam-day strategy
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 gives you 0.1 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 DP-900 distractors contain a subtle error — look for absolute language (always, never, only) as a red flag.
Microsoft writes many DP-900 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 DP-900 is a mental marathon. In the week before your exam, do at least two full 500-question sessions on separate days to build concentration stamina. If you cannot focus 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 threshold, giving you a buffer for any unexpected question types on the real exam.
DP-900 mock exam — frequently asked questions
Is this DP-900 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 DP-900 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 DP-900 exam?
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 the difficulty variation and question styles on the real exam.
How many times should I do a full DP-900 mock 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.
Are these DP-900 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.
