Last mock 780 / 1000What's new
Three new ways to find the gaps before the exam does.
Fifty questions drawn and weighted like the real paper, timed and scored out of 1000. Finish it and your readiness score updates across the whole dashboard.
Take the test ›A guided portal simulator that walks you through real administrative tasks — creating the resource, setting the rule, checking the result — rather than reading about them.
Launch a lab ›Share your screen and talk a topic through out loud with an assistant that can see exactly what you're looking at. Explaining it is how you find out whether you know it.

Microsoft publishes how much of AZ-104 each domain is worth. Every quiz, mock and readiness score in AZPrep is weighted to match, so a strong week in Storage never hides a weak one in Networking.
Not examined directly, but assumed throughout. Resource groups, the Azure hierarchy, regions and pairs, and the portal itself. Skip it if you already administer Azure day to day — the dashboard will tell you if you shouldn't have.
Start with the basics ›Tenants, management groups, subscriptions, resource groups.
Geographies, availability zones, paired-region behaviour.
ARM templates, deployment scopes, tags and locks.
Which tool the exam expects for which task.
What Microsoft secures, what you secure, and where the line moves.
Budgets, cost alerts, and how pricing turns up in exam questions.
The heaviest-scoring domain alongside Compute, and the one most people underestimate. Microsoft Entra ID, role assignments, custom roles, policy and the subscription hierarchy — with the scope-inheritance questions that catch people out.
Study this domain ›Bulk operations, dynamic groups, guest accounts.
Built-in roles, scope inheritance, deny assignments.
Definitions, initiatives, effects, and remediation tasks.
Moving resources, transferring ownership, quotas.
What AZ-104 expects you to know about access policy.
Inheritance rules, cost attribution, delete protection.
Redundancy is where this domain is won. LRS, ZRS, GRS, GZRS and RA-GRS come up constantly, and the exam tests whether you can pick the cheapest option that still meets the requirement in the question.
Study this domain ›Kinds, performance tiers, failover and endpoints.
LRS through GZRS, with the SLA each one carries.
Shares, snapshots, tiering, and identity-based access.
Hot, cool, cold and archive — and rehydration times.
SAS tokens, access keys, stored access policies.
AzCopy, Storage Explorer, Import/Export.
The largest domain by topic count. Virtual machines and their availability options, scale sets and autoscale rules, containers, and App Service — plus the ARM and Bicep deployment questions that sit underneath all of it.
Study this domain ›Sizing, disks, extensions, images and resizing.
Fault and update domains, and the SLA each design earns.
Rules, thresholds, cool-down and instance limits.
Container Instances, Container Apps, AKS at exam depth.
Plans, slots, scaling, and custom domains.
Parameters, modes, and what a failed deployment tells you.
The domain most candidates score worst on. Address spaces and subnets, network security group evaluation order, peering and its transitivity rules, name resolution, and choosing between the load balancer and Application Gateway.
Study this domain ›Address planning, delegation, service endpoints.
Rule priority, effective rules, and ASGs.
Transitivity, gateway transit, VPN and ExpressRoute.
Load Balancer, Application Gateway, Front Door, Traffic Manager.
Public and private zones, record sets, split-horizon.
Network Watcher, IP flow verify, next hop, connection monitor.
The smallest domain by weight, and the cheapest marks on the paper if you've practised the alert-rule and backup-policy questions. Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, alerts and action groups, Backup and Site Recovery.
Study this domain ›Metrics, diagnostic settings, and where each signal goes.
Workspaces, tables, and the queries the exam actually uses.
Conditions, severities, suppression and notification routing.
Vaults, policies, retention, and restore scenarios.
Replication, RPO and RTO, failover and failback.
Update Manager, VM extensions, and drift.
Study tools
Flashcards when you have four minutes, a full timed mock when you have ninety. Everything feeds the same readiness number, so progress is never just a feeling.
50 questions, blueprint-weighted, timed and scored out of 1000 against the 700 pass mark.
Start the test ›Mix and match across every domain. Twenty questions, or two hundred, with answers explained.
Launch a quiz ›Guided portal walkthroughs of real admin tasks. Work the blades, not screenshots of them.
Open the simulator ›Share your screen and talk a topic through with an assistant that can see what you see.
Start a session ›148 cards across six sets, ordered by where you're weakest rather than alphabetically.
Open a deck ›Redundancy, zones and SLAs in full diagrams and tables, then a 40-question check.
Read a deep dive ›Every term, acronym and quick fact, searchable and linked back to the topic it belongs to.
Open the glossary ›Momentum, coverage and seven-day activity, carried across every device you sign in from.
View analytics ›The readiness test takes about an hour and costs nothing. It's weighted exactly like the real paper, so the score you get is the score you'd be walking into the test centre with. Most people are surprised by which domain lets them down.
How scoring works
How many of the 106 topics you've worked through, weighted by how much of the exam each domain is worth. Reading a topic once counts for less than answering questions on it.
Your hit rate per domain, with newer answers counting more than old ones. Get a topic wrong twice and it moves up the queue automatically.
Topics you haven't revisited decay over time, the same way your memory does. That's why the score can go down during a quiet week — because your real readiness did too.
