Why should I take the DP-500 exam?

The Microsoft DP-500 certification exam has been designed to provide candidates with the unique opportunity to demonstrate their subject matter expertise in implementing enterprise-scale data analytics solutions in Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Power BI. The DP-500 certification exam is aimed at data analysts with advanced Power BI skills and requires you to be able to query and transform data, implement and manage data models, and explore and visualize data. Although there is no official pre-requisite certification to take this exam, the DP-900 would give you a solid foundation in core data concepts and related Microsoft Azure data services. If you pass the DP-500 certification exam, you will obtain the Azure Enterprise Data Analyst Associate certification. 

The DP-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

Practice tests are an informal exam simulation of the actual test that are designed to prepare you better for what to expect on the real exam. A MeasureUp practice test contains approximately 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test there are two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode. 

  • The Practice Mode allows users to highly customize the testing environment. They may choose how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time allowed to complete the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select 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 prevent users from requesting the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

How to use the DP-500 Practice Test? 

You can use the DP-500 practice test in two different modes: certification and practice mode. The first gives you the possibility to assess your knowledge and discover your areas for development, and the second allows you to focus on these areas, ensuring you spend your time wisely. We first recommend you take the DP-500 practice test in certification mode. By studying the generated report on completing the test, you will get a helpful overview of which areas require further attention. You should then take the test in practice mode in order to develop those areas. Once you are confident you have improved your knowledge in these areas, you can re-take the test in certification mode and, on passing two times in a row with a score of 90%, you know you are exam ready! 

 

Will the questions be the same as the actual exam? 

Although the questions will emulate those of the official exam in terms of style, content, and level of difficulty, for reasons of copyright they will not be identical. This will allow you to fully understand the content you are studying so that, no matter how the questions are focused, you can be confident you are covering the same material and that you will have no problem in passing the exam.
