What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Develop Azure compute solutions | 25-30% |
| Develop for Azure storage | 15-20% |

Two sample questions
1. Which component supplies data to a function without writing client code?
- The function trigger
- A host configuration file
- An input binding — correct
- An application setting value
Why: Bindings connect the function to a service declaratively rather than in code.
2. Which authorisation model is recommended for a Key Vault today?
- The legacy vault access policies
- A shared administrator password
- An anonymous public endpoint
- Azure role based access control — correct
Why: Role based control is consistent with the rest of Azure and is auditable.
