The AZ-500 practice test trains you in monitoring security for resources in Azure.

Why should I take the AZ-500 exam?

The AZ-500 certification is a perfect fit for Microsoft Azure security engineers who want to validate their skills in implementing, managing, and monitoring security for resources in Azure, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments as part of an end-to-end infrastructure. The AZ-500 certification builds on the foundations provided by Microsoft's AZ-900 exam, although the AZ-900 is not an official pre-requisite. After obtaining this certification, why not try your luck at one of the Azure Expert-level certifications, the AZ-400 or the AZ-305?

The AZ-500 practice test includes two different modes: certification and practice mode. Certification mode allows you to assess your knowledge and discover your weak areas, with practice mode allowing you to focus on the areas that need development.

System Requirements

A practice test is an informal test that simulates the actual exam and aims to get you fully prepared for what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test comes with around 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode.

  • The Practice Mode allows users control over how to customize their testing environment. They may select how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to complete the test, if they want to randomize the question order, and how and which questions will be shown in the test.
  • The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will encounter when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not allow users to request the answers and explanations to questions until completing the test.
