Azure Solutions Architect practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 40 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Where Azure Solutions Architect fits
An honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Microsoft Azure and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Design infrastructure solutions and Design identity, governance, and monitoring solutions
Together the top two domains are 61% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then sit a numbered practice exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then sit a full-length form under exam conditions: 40 questions in 120 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions
How does AZ-305 differ from AZ-104?
AZ-104 configures; AZ-305 recommends. Questions describe requirements and constraints and ask which design you would propose: which storage tier, which identity topology, which failover approach. You are marked as an architect, not an operator.
Does AZ-305 alone grant the Expert certification?
No. The Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification requires passing AZ-305 and holding the Azure Administrator Associate certification from AZ-104, so the two exams together earn the credential.
Note on domain weightings
Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges. The figures here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current AZ-305 study guide.

Nothing is published for this exam yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when the first questions ship, and nothing else.
Azure Solutions Architect is not for sale yet. A certification goes on sale when it has a complete practice exam behind it, and this one does not, so there is nothing here worth charging for. Everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
