About the DP-900 exam

How many questions are on the DP-900 exam and how long is it?

Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count, but fundamentals exams typically run 40 to 60 questions, and you get 45 minutes to answer them. ReadyForCert papers use 50 questions on the same 45-minute clock.

What score do I need to pass DP-900?

700 on a scale of 1 to 1,000. The score is scaled rather than a raw percentage of questions answered correctly, so it does not map exactly onto “70% of questions right”.

Do I need database experience to take DP-900?

No. DP-900 is written for people starting to work with data in the cloud. Knowing what a table and a query are helps, but the exam tests concepts and choosing the right Azure service rather than writing production SQL.

Are these the real DP-900 exam questions?

No. These are practice questions written against the current Microsoft study guide. Real exam content is covered by Microsoft's exam agreement, and the bank is refreshed regularly.
