Set of official Microsoft documentation references for a holistic preparation to exam DP-201.
This exam really tests your ability to demonstrate good understanding of setting-up a data processing pipeline and configurations of each component. A lot of questions were on optimizing, operating, loading and reading data from Azure SQL DB and Synapse Analytics (formerly SQL DW), I found them tricky and quite challenging.
The exam has around 40-50 questions and is somewhat similar to other Azure Associate exams. The exam duration is fixed around 180 minutes with additional 30 minutes for reading instructions, signing the non-disclosure agreement, and giving feedback to each question at the end.
Expect different types of questions (single choice, multi-choice, binary choice and sorting order) and one or two case studies.
