The AZ-401 exam is the official exam behind the Microsoft Certification credential from Microsoft. It sits at the Expert level of the Microsoft certification track. It is also associated with Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert. The ActualVCE practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The AZ-401 exam contains 40-60 questions and gives you 120 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the ActualVCE test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need 700 to pass the AZ-401 exam, and the official registration fee is $165 USD. A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed ActualVCE practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.

Requires Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) OR Microsoft Certified: Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204)
