How this site works
One question bank, three ways to use it. No account, no setup: pick an exam and start on any of the three modes below.
01
Study cards
One short card per exam objective: what it is, when to pick it over its neighbours, and the trap the exam counts on. Every card ends with a quick check question. Mark a card known or shaky as you go, so the deck narrows to what you still need.
Keyboard
- ← →
- previous card / next card
- K
- mark the current card known
- S
- mark the current card shaky
02
Practice
Pick a topic, or let the site mix missed questions with new ones. Answer, then check: you see the explanation, the Microsoft Learn page that proves it, and a link back to the study card. Nothing is timed.
Keyboard
- 1-9
- choose an option by its position on screen
- Enter
- check the answer, then move to the next question
03
Exam simulation
A timed run in the exam's own proportions. No feedback while it runs: flag anything you are unsure of and settle it on the review screen before you submit. The result is a plain score, broken down by domain.

Your progress stays on your device
There is no account and nothing to sign in to. Every card you mark, every question you answer and every exam attempt is written to your browser's local storage, one small record per exam. It never leaves your device and this site never sees it.
That also means progress is tied to one browser on one device. Switch browsers, clear site data, or move to a new computer, and the slate is clean there. The progress page lets you export everything to a file and import it again, on the same device or a different one, and reset a single exam or all of them.
05
The practice exam mirrors the real one, as closely as a free site can
Timing. Fundamentals exams such as DP-900 run 45 minutes; associate exams such as PL-300, DP-600 and DP-700 run 100 minutes. The simulation here uses the same duration and the same number of questions as the real exam.
Domain proportions. Microsoft publishes each exam's domains as a weight range, for example "25-30% of the exam". The simulation draws questions so each domain lands on the midpoint of its published range, spread evenly across that domain's skill groups, the same way a real form would.
Flag and review. You get no feedback while the clock runs. Flag anything you are unsure of, keep moving, and settle the flagged questions on a review screen before you submit. Nothing is scored until you do.
Microsoft Learn access. Associate-level exams let you open learn.microsoft.com during the real exam, so the simulation leaves that door open too, clock running. Fundamentals exams are closed book, on the real exam and here.
Case studies. Where an exam ends on a case study, it comes last in the simulation too, and once you move into it you cannot go back to the earlier questions, exactly as Microsoft runs it.
What the simulation cannot copy is Microsoft's exact item bank, its adaptive weighting, or the handful of question formats it keeps behind NDA. It copies the shape of the exam, not its content.

Why a plain percentage, not Microsoft's 700
Microsoft reports a real exam result as a scaled score out of 1000, with 700 as the line you need to clear. That number is not a plain percentage: Microsoft does not publish the weighting behind it, and it can vary between forms of the same exam. There is no honest way for an outside site to reproduce it, so this site does not try.
Instead, a practice exam here reports exactly what it is: the percentage of this run's questions you answered fully correctly, overall and per domain. It is a measure of this question bank, not a prediction of your real scaled score.
To keep that honest, the readiness read-out is deliberately conservative: it calls you exam ready at 80% or higher, almost there from 65%, and tells you to keep studying below that, leaving margin between this site's bar and Microsoft's own.
