How the AZ-140 exam is scored
Microsoft scores every certification exam on a scale of 1 to 1000, and you need 700 to pass. This is a scaled score, not a percentage: the number of questions you must answer correctly shifts slightly with each exam form so that a 700 always represents the same level of ability. There is no penalty for guessing, so answer every question even if you are unsure. Unanswered questions are always marked wrong.
Your score report groups results by the skill areas below. A fail in one area with strong scores elsewhere still fails the exam overall, so use your report to target the weakest area first before rebooking.

- Read one domain at a time. Work through the official Microsoft Learn content for that domain before touching anything else. The weights above tell you where to spend the most time.
- Check yourself with untimed practice. Take a free AZ-140 Readiness Check on this page. It asks questions from every domain in official proportion, so your domain-by-domain score shows exactly where you are weak.
- Drill the weak domains. Repeat short practice sets on your two weakest areas until both score comfortably above 70%.

Repeat the cycle until every domain is green. Candidates who follow it usually reach passing level inside 4–8 weeks of part-time study.
