Exploring the question formats
Azure certification teams regularly update their questions and question formats, so there is no fixed pattern, but the following types of questions are common:
- Case study-based questions
- Scenario-based questions
- Direct questions
- Ordering sequence questions
- Code segment questions
There could be about 40-60 questions and the questions are usually distributed according to the weightage given to the topics in the syllabus.
- Design and Implement Data Storage (40-45%)
- Design and Develop Data Processing (25-30%)
- Design and Implement Data Security (10-15%)
- Monitor and Optimize Data Storage and Data Processing (10-15%)
The sequence of the questions will be random. Let's look at an example for each of the common types of questions.
