The dp 600 exam pattern runs for 100 minutes and requires a score of 700 or higher on Microsoft's 1-1000 scale to pass. Microsoft has not published the number of questions or a breakdown of question types for this exam. It can be taken at a Pearson VUE test centre or online through Pearson OnVUE proctoring, and it covers three weighted domains.
If you are wondering what to expect walking into Exam DP-600, this page covers the mechanics: how long you have, how it is scored, how it is delivered, and what Microsoft has not told candidates about the dp 600 exam pattern. Every figure below comes from Microsoft's own exam and support pages, and where Microsoft has not published something, this page says so directly instead of guessing.
How long is the DP-600 exam?
Microsoft's exam-duration page lists DP-600 at 100 minutes of total appointment time. That figure typically includes the time to work through the questions plus any non-disclosure agreement and survey screens at the start and end of the appointment, following Microsoft's general exam-experience policy.
What is the DP-600 passing score?
Microsoft's official study guide states plainly: "A score of 700 or greater is required to pass." Microsoft scores its exams on a scale of 1 to 1000, so 700 represents the pass threshold rather than a percentage of questions answered correctly. Microsoft does not publish how raw answers map onto that scaled score.
How many questions are on the DP-600 exam?
Microsoft does not publish the number of questions for DP-600, and it does not publish a breakdown of question types either. What Microsoft does state on the credential page is that the exam "may include interactive components" — tasks performed against a live or simulated product interface rather than answered as a standard multiple-choice item. Because Microsoft has not disclosed a question count, this page will not estimate one.
How is the DP-600 exam delivered?
You can sit DP-600 at a Pearson VUE test centre or take it online through Pearson OnVUE proctoring, per Microsoft's credential page, which offers "Schedule through Pearson VUE" as the booking route for both formats. The exam is available in English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazil).
DP-600 domain weighting
Microsoft groups DP-600 content into three domains, each with a published weighting:
| Domain | Weight |
|---|---|
| Maintain a data analytics solution | 28% |
| Prepare data | 46% |
| Implement and manage semantic models | 26% |
For the objective statements behind each domain, see the full DP-600 syllabus.
What our mock reproduces and what it does not
Our DP-600 practice test is built as multiple-choice and multiple-response questions only, covering every domain above at its published weighting. Microsoft states the real exam may include interactive, product-based components; our mock does not attempt to simulate that interface, since Microsoft has not described its exact mechanics. Because Microsoft has not published a question count, the length of our mock is our own choice, not a claim about the real exam's structure. See what our practice test covers for the full breakdown.
Why the missing question count matters for preparation
Because Microsoft has not published how many questions make up DP-600 or how they break down by type, candidates sometimes assume a mock needs to guess at that structure to be useful. It does not. What matters for preparation is domain coverage and difficulty, not matching an undisclosed question count. A mock that covers all three published domains at their stated weighting gives you a realistic read on readiness even without Microsoft's internal question total.
