Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) Prep
Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) Prep: Practice Tests and Quiz Review Checklist
This comprehensive certification preparation course aligns directly with the official Microsoft AZ-104 exam domains to develop real-world administrative proficiency. Learners will gain hands-on expertise spanning Microsoft Entra ID governance, secure hybrid storage architectures, compute provisioning, enterprise virtual networking, and resilient monitoring systems. By mastering these core infrastructure disciplines, administrators will possess the practical knowledge required to support mission-critical enterprise workloads and successfully pass the AZ-104 exam. Every lesson includes tutor notes, a video, a hands-on lab, exercises and a 12-question quiz you must pass at 80%, followed by a pooled final exam and free and paid practice tests. Erudex is independent and not affiliated with Microsoft.
Use this checklist alongside the Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) Prep curriculum. A practice score is a starting point for review, not proof that every topic has been mastered. The course, lesson quizzes and practice papers serve different purposes: learn a concept, check it locally, then check mixed recall.
Key points
- •Compare the outline with your learning or examination requirements.
- •Use the free paper to locate gaps, not to certify readiness.

Use the free paper as a short diagnostic
Sign in to take the fixed free practice paper. This course offers 1 free paper, with 10 questions per paper. Record the topic and reason for each mistake; repeating a fixed paper may improve familiarity without demonstrating broader readiness.
Paid practice papers contain 30–50 questions. Purchased papers support saved continuation and review; use the actual explanations to identify what needs more study.
Make a correction log before the final assessment
For each missed or guessed question, record the topic, the choice you made, why it was tempting, the correct reasoning and one new example. Separate knowledge gaps from misreading and timing problems. Revisit the underlying lesson rather than memorising the answer's position.
Check the final-assessment instructions on the course page. Erudex quizzes, practice tests and completion records are separate from external school examinations or professional credentials. Consult the relevant awarding body or teacher for current external requirements.
