I sat for the DP-800 exam three weeks ago. The syllabus covers designing and developing database solutions, securing optimizing and deploying database solutions, and implementing AI capabilities in database solutions. I started with the official Microsoft study guide but needed something faster that let me practice real questions. That's when I found ITExamsTopics and grabbed their PDF version to work through alongside my notes.
What helped most was how the exam-style questions were framed in the PDF - they showed how the real exam tests your understanding instead of just memorization. Since designing and developing database solutions makes up 35-40% of the test and securing optimizing and deploying makes up 35-40%, I focused heavily on those practice questions first covering database objects, programmability, security and performance optimization. Then I worked through implementing AI capabilities at 25-30% covering models embeddings intelligent search and vector search. I went through multiple rounds of real exam questions and sample questions before my exam date. If you're prepping for DP-800, try their free demo first, then grab ITExamsTopics PDF version for actual exam questions.
