This free Microsoft AZ-900 practice test checks your readiness for the Azure Fundamentals exam with 50 exam-style questions across all three skill areas, each with an explanation for every answer choice, on a 45-minute timer that matches the real exam. Built by Training Camp and drawn from the same skills outline we teach in our Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Boot Camp. It is a readiness check, not a substitute for study, but it will show you which skill area to work on next.
AZ-900 is organized into three weighted skill areas, and this test pulls questions from each: Describe cloud concepts (25-30%), Describe Azure architecture and services (35-40%), and Describe Azure management and governance (30-35%). Microsoft says its certification exams typically contain between 40 and 60 questions, Fundamentals exams get a 45-minute time limit, and you need a score of 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000 to pass. Microsoft does not publish the exact question mix, but its exam sandbox shows the formats you can expect, such as multiple choice, drag and drop and hot area items. There are no prerequisites and the certification does not expire.
Microsoft's audience profile describes a technology professional with some general IT background, such as infrastructure, database or development work, who wants to show foundational cloud knowledge. The exam tests whether you can describe what a service does and when you would use it, not how to configure it, so it is also a common first step for people moving into Azure work. Microsoft refreshes the skills outline periodically. The current version is dated July 20, 2026 and made only minor changes to the compute and networking, management tooling and monitoring sections; the three skill areas, their weights and the passing score did not change. We keep these questions aligned with the current published outline.
Take it once cold to get a baseline, then read every explanation, including the ones you got right, because the incorrect-choice explanations are where similar services get separated (Azure Policy versus a resource lock, Virtual Machines versus App Service, Blob versus Files). Study your weakest skill area and retake it a few days later. The 45-minute timer matches the real exam's time limit, and 50 questions sits inside the 40 to 60 range Microsoft describes, so if you finish comfortably here you should be fine on pace on exam day.

Four questions from the bank, one per domain, with the reasoning behind every answer. The full test has 50.
Which cloud computing benefit refers to the ability to automatically add or remove resources as demand changes?
Correct. Elasticity is the ability to automatically add or remove compute, storage and other resources as demand rises and falls, so you pay only for what is running at any moment.
A company wants its application to survive the loss of an entire datacenter within a single Azure region, without failing over to another region. Which Azure feature should it use?
Correct. Availability zones are physically separate datacenters within one region, each with independent power, cooling and networking. Deploying across zones protects against a datacenter failure while staying in the same region.
Before migrating, a company wants an estimate of what a specific set of Azure resources (three virtual machines, a database and storage) will cost per month based on the sizes and regions it plans to use. Which tool should it use?
Correct. The Azure Pricing calculator lets you configure specific services, sizes, regions and options to produce an estimated monthly cost before you deploy anything.
Every one of the 50 questions works this way: an explanation for the right answer and for the one you picked, so a wrong answer teaches you something. Questions last reviewed against the current Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) objectives.
Quick answers about the test, the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) exam, and how to prepare.
Yes. Training Camp's Microsoft AZ-900 practice test is free to take, with 50 exam-style questions across all three Azure Fundamentals skill areas and an explanation for every answer choice.
It is 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from all three AZ-900 skill areas, with an instant explanation after each answer and a 45-minute timer, matching the real exam. You can retake it as often as you want. It is a readiness check, not a substitute for full preparation.
Microsoft does not publish an exact count, but says its certification exams typically contain between 40 and 60 questions, and AZ-900 has a 45-minute time limit. Expect formats beyond plain multiple choice, such as drag and drop and hot area items, which you can try in Microsoft's free exam sandbox.
You need a score of 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000. Microsoft uses scaled scoring, so 700 does not mean 70 percent of the questions answered correctly.
AZ-900 covers three skill areas: Describe cloud concepts (25-30%), Describe Azure architecture and services (35-40%), and Describe Azure management and governance (30-35%).
AZ-900 is a fundamentals-level certification with no prerequisites, designed for people new to cloud. Microsoft's audience profile assumes some general IT background, such as infrastructure, database or development work, but no Azure experience. It tests whether you can describe what each service does and when to use it rather than how to configure it. Most candidates find the volume of service names the hardest part, so practice matching services to scenarios.
No. Microsoft Fundamentals certifications, including Azure Fundamentals, do not expire and have no renewal requirement, unlike Microsoft's associate, expert and specialty certifications, which must be renewed each year.
