What's in a AZ-104 mock paper
Each paper draws its questions per domain in the same proportions Microsoft Azure publishes for the real AZ-104 — so a mock that goes badly in one domain is telling you something a randomly-drawn quiz couldn't.
| Domain | Official weight | Questions drawn | Share of paper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manage Azure identities and governance | 24% | 12 | 24% |
| Implement and manage storage | 19% | 10 | 20% |
| Deploy and manage Azure compute resources | 24% | 12 | 24% |
| Implement and manage virtual networking | 19% | 9 | 18% |
| Monitor and maintain Azure resources | 14% | 7 | 14% |
| Total | 100% | 50 | 100% |
What a AZ-104 paper is shaped like
Which way this particular paper applies pressure.
The clock
At roughly 2 minutes a question, the clock is not the enemy here — the scenarios are. Questions on this paper tend to be longer and more layered, and the time is given to you because you need to read carefully. The failure mode is the opposite of a fast paper: drifting, re-reading, and second-guessing answers you had right the first time.
The weighting
Manage Azure identities and governance is the largest domain at 24%, but with 5 domains in play no single one decides the result. A mock score here is usually a fair reflection of overall coverage rather than a verdict on one topic.
The standard
The pass mark is 700 on the 1–1000 scale. Because scaling adjusts for the difficulty of the particular set you were served, there is no fixed number of questions that guarantees it — which is exactly why a single mock result means less than a consistent one.

What trips people up on an AZ-104 mock
AZ-104 is an administration exam, and the questions reflect it: you are given a working environment and asked to change, secure or troubleshoot something in it. Answers hinge on knowing which blade, resource or scope the change actually belongs at — a level of specificity that reading alone does not produce. If your mock scores sit well below your reading confidence, hands-on time is the fix, not more notes.
Identity and governance is the largest domain and the one with the widest blast radius, because scope and inheritance show up inside networking, storage and compute questions too. A weak identity score on a mock usually drags several other domains down with it.
Networking questions are where the marks quietly leak. They tend to require holding two or three resources in your head at once, and under time pressure candidates pick the option that fixes the symptom rather than the one that fixes the cause.
Storage and compute questions often turn on a property chosen at creation time that cannot be changed afterwards. Those are the details that reading glosses over and mocks expose, so treat every miss in these domains as a prompt to check what is fixed at creation versus what is editable later.
Monitoring is the smallest domain and the most self-contained, which makes it the efficient thing to close before a retake. If your per-domain results show it trailing while the larger domains are solid, that is the cheapest route back over the line.
