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
| Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions | 25-30% |
| Design data storage solutions | 20-25% |
| Design business continuity solutions | 15-20% |
| Design infrastructure solutions | 30-35% |
Two sample questions
1. What does single sign-on give users?
- One sign-in that grants access to many apps — correct
- A separate password for each app
- A second factor at every sign-in
- Password sync from on-premises
Why: With SSO, users authenticate once and then reach the applications they are allowed to use without signing in again.
2. Your company needs to store time-series data for compliance. Data must be queryable for 2 years and archived for 7 years.
- Azure SQL Database for the full seven years
- Cosmos DB with a seven-year time-to-live on items
- Azure Data Explorer for two years, with export to archive storage — correct
- Azure Table Storage for both the query period and the archive period
Why: ADX provides fast querying for active data (2 years). Continuous export moves older data to ADLS Gen2 Archive for cost-effective long-term archival (7 years).
