Microsoft Azure publishes exactly what the AZ-104 tests and how much each part is worth. Here it is — every domain, its weight, the topics inside it, and the lessons that cover them.
Microsoft Entra users and groups, access to Azure resources, and subscription-level governance. Official weighting 20–25%.
Storage access control, storage account configuration, and Azure Files and Blob Storage. Official weighting 15–20%.
ARM template and Bicep deployments, virtual machines, containers, and Azure App Service. Official weighting 20–25%.
Virtual networks and subnets, secure network access, name resolution, and load balancing. Official weighting 15–20%.
Azure Monitor metrics, logs, and alerting, plus backup and disaster recovery. Official weighting 10–15%.
Reading every note front to back is the slowest way to pass. The exam is weighted, so your revision should be too — the blueprint above tells you exactly where the marks are.
Manage Azure identities and governance carries the most marks on the AZ-104, so it earns the most of your attention. Work down the blueprint from the heaviest domain to the lightest rather than starting at domain 1 and grinding forward.
Read each lesson once without stopping to memorise — you are building a map, not a memory. On the second pass, read only the "what's tested" and key-takeaway blocks. If a takeaway surprises you, that lesson goes back on the pile.
Cover a lesson's key takeaways and try to say them out loud from the heading alone. Recall you can produce under your own steam is the only recall that survives a timed exam; recognition on a re-read is not the same thing.
Finishing the notes is not the goal — scoring is. Move to AZ-104 practice questions early, then come back to the exact lessons your wrong answers point at. That loop is worth far more than a third read-through.
