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
| Implement and manage an analytics solution | 30-35% |
| Ingest and transform data | 30-35% |
| Monitor and optimize an analytics solution | 30-35% |
Two sample questions
1. Which evidence confirms a workload was throttled?
- A complaint that it simply felt slow
- A memory of a busy afternoon
- A throttling event in the metrics — correct
- An assumption about the likely cause
Why: The metrics distinguish throttling from an ordinary slow query.
2. A team automates deployments of Dataflow Gen1 items. Which API must it use?
- The Variable library APIs
- The Fabric Deploy Stage Content API
- The Power BI deployment APIs — correct
- The Fabric Git APIs
Why: The Fabric deployment pipeline APIs don't support dataflows, so the Power BI APIs are used.
