Free Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert Practice Test (AZ-305)

Up to 50 questions in 120 minutes. The exact number varies between test forms, which is why the objectives say "up to" rather than giving a fixed count.

700 on Microsoft's 1 to 1,000 scale, the same scale AZ-104 and AZ-900 use. Microsoft does not publish a fixed question count for this exam, so treat every skill area as equally likely to appear rather than counting on a particular mix.

There is no enforced prerequisite - you can register for AZ-305 directly. Microsoft recommends AZ-104 or equivalent hands-on Azure administration experience first, because AZ-305 tests design decisions built on top of the services AZ-104 already assumes you can operate.

It tests architecture decisions rather than execution: which identity model to design, how to structure governance across subscriptions, what a business continuity plan needs to cover. AZ-104 asks whether you can configure a resource; AZ-305 asks whether you chose the right one to configure in the first place.

Yes, like other Microsoft role-based certifications it is valid for one year. Renewal is free, taken online through Microsoft Learn, and the window opens six months before the expiry date.

No, and be wary of any site that claims otherwise. Every question here is written from scratch against the published exam objectives. Sitting an exam having memorised leaked live questions breaks the non-disclosure agreement you accept at the test centre and can get your certification revoked.
