Is practice Labs Enough for the AZ-305 Exam?

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question — how should I best prepare for the AZ-305 exam? 
Is retaking the Learning Path quizzes enough, or should I also practice with other types of tests?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

    Practice Labs are helpful, but AZ-305 is heavily architecture-focused, so hands-on labs alone usually aren’t enough.

    What typically works best is a mix of:

    • Microsoft Learn modules (especially the design-focused sections)
    • Reviewing reference architectures in Azure Architecture Center
    • Taking a few scenario-based practice tests to validate reasoning

    The exam is less about memorizing features and more about comparing trade-offs (governance, security, networking, identity, storage patterns, cost). If you can explain why one design is better than another, you’ll be ready.
