AZ-305 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the AZ-305 exam lead to?
The AZ-305 exam is the official Microsoft exam behind the Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification, validating the skills measured by the Microsoft Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions credential. It sits at the Expert level of the Microsoft certification program. It also connects to Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104), so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the AZ-305 exam, and how much time do I get?
The AZ-305 exam contains 40-60 questions to be completed within 120-150. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the AZ-305 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the AZ-305 exam is 700 (out of 1000), and the official registration fee is USD 165 (varies by country). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 374 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
