What you practise on MyLevel
Every MyLevel question is an original question written on the skills listed in Microsoft's study guide, with one correct answer, three wrong ones and a short explanation of why. Questions test which Azure service or concept fits a need, not prices that change. The two full tests have 50 questions in 45 minutes, split 14, 19 and 17 inside Microsoft's skill ranges. MyLevel uses single-answer multiple choice only: multiple-response, drag-and-drop, hot area and other formats on the real exam are not simulated. After each test you see your score per skill area, so you know what to study next.
Microsoft offers a free AZ-900 Practice Assessment on Microsoft Learn that you can take as often as you like; use it too. MyLevel is a different, independent product: 2 full timed practice tests for $9.99, a one-time payment with no subscription and no time limit, which also unlocks every other MyLevel job test.
How to study for the AZ-900 exam
- Know the shared responsibility model per service type: on IaaS you patch the operating system; on PaaS the provider does; on SaaS you only manage your accounts, devices and data. Data, devices and identities are always yours.
- Learn look-alikes in pairs: VPN Gateway (encrypted over the internet) vs ExpressRoute (private connection), Azure Policy (rules for resources) vs RBAC (what users may do), pricing calculator (estimate) vs Cost Management (actual spend), Azure Advisor (recommendations) vs Service Health (outages and maintenance), LRS vs ZRS vs GRS.
- Spend most time on architecture and services: at 35-40% it is the largest skill area.
- Train under time: take a full MyLevel test, read the explanation of every miss, study your weakest skill area and retake. Aim for 70% or more, and 80% for a margin, because Microsoft's 700 is a scaled score, not a percentage.
