A free MeasureUp alternative for Azure practice tests
Updated
For the Microsoft exams it covers — Azure Fundamentals, Azure Administrator and Fabric Data Engineer among them — SaveMyCert is a free alternative to MeasureUp: revision notes are readable without an account, daily practice questions are free with one, and unlimited practice plus full-length mocks are a one-time unlock per certification. MeasureUp is a Microsoft Partner whose practice tests cover a far larger Microsoft catalogue, sold individually, in bundles or by subscription. If your exam is outside SaveMyCert’s list, or you want MeasureUp’s exam simulations specifically, it is the stronger choice.

You want to start without paying — notes and daily practice are free, and the unlock is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.
Your exam is one SaveMyCert covers (see the live list below).
You want revision notes and practice in one place rather than practice tests alone.
You are studying across vendors — say Azure and AWS — and want one study loop for both.
Choose MeasureUp if…
Your Microsoft exam is not on SaveMyCert’s list — MeasureUp’s catalogue is far broader.
You want realistic exam simulations from a Microsoft Partner that specialises in practice tests.
Your employer or training provider already supplies MeasureUp access — use what you have.
You want a pre-exam assessment or a bundled kit rather than a self-built study loop.
Why people look for a MeasureUp alternative
For most people it is cost. MeasureUp sells practice tests individually, in bundles and by subscription, and for a fundamentals exam in particular, paying for practice can feel out of proportion to the exam itself — especially when Microsoft Learn covers the syllabus for free.
The other reason is wanting more than a practice test. Candidates who learn from notes as well as questions often want both in one place, mapped to the same skills outline, so a weak area in practice leads straight to the lesson that teaches it.
What SaveMyCert gives you
Every revision lesson is free to read without an account, organised by the skills areas in Microsoft’s official outline. A free account adds daily practice questions with a full explanation on every option, and a one-time unlock per certification removes the cap and opens the full-length timed mocks. There is no subscription.
Every question is written from scratch against the published skills outline. Real exam content is confidential, and studying leaked questions breaches the Microsoft certification agreement — original, outline-aligned practice is the only safe kind.
Where MeasureUp is genuinely strong
MeasureUp specialises in practice tests and is a Microsoft Partner, and it positions its content as aligned with Microsoft’s current certification requirements. Its explanations cover why the right answer is right and why the alternatives are wrong, and its catalogue reaches across a very large number of Microsoft exams that SaveMyCert does not cover.
If your exam is one of those, or you specifically want MeasureUp’s exam simulations, it is a solid, legitimate choice. The honest positioning: SaveMyCert is the first stop when cost is the constraint and your exam is on its list; MeasureUp is the broader paid option.
Can you use both?
Yes. Learning on Microsoft Learn and SaveMyCert, then adding a second independent bank of practice questions shortly before the exam, gives you fresh scenarios and exposes gaps a single source can hide. Whichever you use, book only when you clear the pass mark consistently on questions you have not seen before.
