Mode

Exam fidelity: Microsoft does not publish a fixed live question count or guarantee a question-type mix for AZ-305. This lane contains multiple-choice exam-style practice; no supplemental matching, ordering, or case-study exercises were needed. Practice percentages do not reproduce Microsoft's scaled scoring, and difficulty labels describe this site's Expert-level architecture and trade-off complexity rather than a Microsoft-published question rating.
