The exam

What is the DP-700 exam?

DP-700 — Implementing Data Engineering Solutions Using Microsoft Fabric — earns the Microsoft Certified: Fabric Data Engineer Associate credential. It's a role-based, hands-on exam for working data engineers who ingest and transform data and build analytics solutions on Microsoft Fabric. The audience profile assumes you're already fluent in at least one of SQL, PySpark, or KQL and comfortable with data loading patterns, data architectures, and orchestration. You'll work alongside analytics engineers, architects, analysts, and administrators to design and deploy data engineering solutions.

This is not a vocabulary exam. DP-700 expects you to reason about real engineering decisions: full vs incremental load patterns; choosing between Dataflow Gen2, pipelines, and notebooks; transforming data with PySpark, T-SQL, and KQL; wiring up OneLake shortcuts and database mirroring; processing streams with Eventstream and Spark Structured Streaming; securing data with row-, column-, and object-level security and OneLake security; and optimising Lakehouse, Warehouse, pipeline, and Spark performance.

Microsoft refreshed the DP-700 skills outline on 21 July 2026. Every question in Azure Mastery's DP-700 bank is mapped to the current outline — no leftover questions on retired features. Read the official outline at learn.microsoft.com.

DP-700 exam objectives

Three domains, each weighted 30–35% in Microsoft's July 2026 update — there's no "easy" domain to coast on. Every summary below is paraphrased from the official skills outline; the bullet-level objectives in Azure Mastery are tagged so you always know which domain you're being tested on.

How Azure Mastery helps you pass DP-700

Azure Mastery ships with 368 DP-700 practice questions, every one written specifically against the current (July 2026) skills outline — not generic data trivia. Each question carries a domain tag mapped to the official three domains (implement and manage an analytics solution, ingest and transform data, monitor and optimise an analytics solution), so you always know which area you're being tested on and where your weak spots are clustered.

The on-device Exam IQ engine predicts your DP-700 score before you sit the exam. After roughly 30 questions it has enough signal to give a confidence-scored prediction (e.g. "786 ±37, 68% confidence") — and tells you the specific topics that are dragging your readiness down. No vague "study more" advice; just a ranked list of objectives where improvement would move your score the furthest.

The adaptive study plan rebuilds itself from your answer history. Get something wrong on choosing between Dataflow Gen2, a pipeline, and a notebook? You'll see another orchestration question in the next session. Nail incremental load patterns three sessions running and the engine backs off, surfacing fresh Eventstream or Spark optimisation scenarios. The plan optimises for the gap between where you are and the 700 pass score, not for blind volume.

Knowledge decay tracking matters even more for a technical exam like DP-700. The KQL windowing syntax or deployment-pipeline workflow you mastered six weeks ago is exactly what you'll fumble on exam day if you stop revising. Azure Mastery tracks every topic's decay curve and flags topics approaching expiry — the padlock icon on the Today screen is your "revisit before you forget" cue.

Real exam simulation mode runs at DP-700's actual length and time pressure: a randomised question set drawn from the full 368-question bank, a ~100-minute timer, no jumping back to flag-and-review. It's the closest you can get to the test centre experience without sitting the exam.

Everything runs on-device. Your answer history, your readiness gauge, your decay alerts — none of it leaves your iPhone or iPad. No account required to start, no tracking, no sync server. Privacy-first by design.

4–8 week revision plan

Suggested DP-700 study plan

DP-700 is associate-level and hands-on, so plan four to eight weeks — more if SQL, PySpark, or KQL aren't yet second nature. Below is a two-phase plan that maps onto Azure Mastery's three domains, simulator, and decay alerts. Pair every block with real practice in a Microsoft Fabric trial; the readiness gauge tells you when you're done, not the calendar.

1. Build and manage the platform

   • Warm-up: If your SQL, PySpark, or KQL is rusty, spend the first sessions refreshing the language you'll lean on most before touching exam objectives.
   • Phase 1 focus — Implement and manage an analytics solution (30–35%): Fabric workspace settings (Spark, domains, OneLake, Airflow) and lifecycle management — Git version control, database projects, deployment pipelines.
   • Security & governance: Workspace- and item-level access, row-/column-/object-/file-level controls, dynamic data masking, sensitivity labels, audit logs, and OneLake security.
   • Orchestration: Choosing between Dataflow Gen2, pipelines, and notebooks; designing schedule- and event-based triggers. Build a workspace and a deployment pipeline in Fabric to make it stick.

2. Ingest, transform, optimise — then simulate

   • Phase 2 focus — Ingest and transform data (30–35%): Full vs incremental loads, batch transform with Dataflows Gen2, notebooks, PySpark, T-SQL and KQL, OneLake shortcuts, mirroring, plus streaming with Eventstream, Spark Structured Streaming, and KQL windowing.
   • Monitor and optimize an analytics solution (30–35%): Monitor items and configure alerts, resolve pipeline / Dataflow / notebook / T-SQL errors, and optimise Lakehouse, Warehouse, pipeline, Spark, and query performance.
   • Run Focus Weak Spots daily. The app surfaces the 5–10 questions most likely to move your readiness score.
   • Run the Exam Simulator end-to-end at full ~100-minute length. When you're scoring 750+ consistently, schedule the exam — then light review only, sleep well, and sit it.

Inside the app

Every Microsoft question type, on iPhone

DP-700's question bank uses the same formats Microsoft puts on the live exam — not just multiple choice. Each visualisation below is a faithful mock of how the type renders inside Azure Mastery on iPhone and iPad. Exam-simulator mode runs all of them at full ~100-minute length with no flag-and-review jumps, mirroring Pearson VUE.

Certification paths that lead to DP-700

DP-700 is the associate-level destination of Microsoft's Fabric data-engineering track. There's no formal prerequisite, but DP-900 (Azure Data Fundamentals) is a natural on-ramp if the data vocabulary is new, and many engineers pair DP-700 with DP-600 to cover both data engineering and analytics on Fabric.
