Azure Database Administrator 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 Database Administrator fits

An honest study plan

  1. 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. 2. Weight your study toward Implement a secure environment and Monitor, configure, and optimize database resources

    Together the top two domains are 44% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.

  3. 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 100 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions

Which SQL platforms does DP-300 cover?

Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and SQL Server on Azure virtual machines, compared constantly: which tier fits, what each supports for auditing or failover, and when the answer is the VM because only it allows a feature.

How much T-SQL appears?

Enough to read. Dynamic management views, index and query store commands and backup statements appear in questions, and knowing what a shown query returns is tested more than writing one cold.

Note on domain weightings

Microsoft publishes weightings as ranges. The figures here use midpoints of the official ranges from the current DP-300 study guide.

Azure Database Administrator 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.
