To answer the questions included in a case study, you will need to reference information that is provided in the case study. Case studies might contain exhibits and other resources that provide more information about the scenario that is described in the case study. Each question is independent of the other questions in this case study.
At the end of this case study, a review screen will appear. This screen allows you to review your answers and to make changes before you move to the next section of the exam. After you begin a new section, you cannot return to this section.
To start the case study -

Overview -
Contoso, Ltd. is a company that sells enriched financial data to a variety of external customers.
Contoso has a main office in Los Angeles and two branch offices in New York and Seattle.
Existing Environment -
Data Infrastructure -
Contoso has a 50-TB data warehouse that uses an instance of SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines.
The data warehouse populates an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace that is accessed by the external customers. Currently, the customers can access all the data.
Contoso has one Power BI workspace named FinData that contains a single dataset. The dataset contains financial data from around the world. The workspace is used by 10 internal users and one external customer. The dataset has the following two data sources: the data warehouse and the Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool.
Users frequently query the Synapse Analytics workspace by using Transact-SQL.
User Problems -
Contoso identifies the following user issues:
Some users indicate that the visuals in Power BI reports are slow to render when making filter selections.
Users indicate that queries against the serverless SQL pool fail occasionally because the size of tempdb has been exceeded.
Users indicate that the data in Power BI reports is stale. You discover that the refresh process of the Power BI model occasionally times out.
Planned Changes -
Contoso plans to implement the following changes:
Into the existing Power BI dataset, integrate an external data source in JSON that is accessible by using the REST API.
Build a new dataset in the FinData workspace by using data from the Synapse Analytics dedicated SQL pool.
Provide all the customers with their own Power BI workspace to create their own reports. Each workspace will use the new dataset in the FinData workspace.
Implement subscription levels for the customers. Each subscription level will provide access to specific rows of financial data.
Deploy prebuilt datasets to Power BI to simplify the query experience of the customers.
Provide internal users with the ability to incorporate machine learning models loaded to the dedicated SQL pool.
You need to identify the root cause of the data refresh issue.

As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. The questions were quite close to what actually appeared on the exam, more than I expected. I spent about a week going through the material before my test, and it helped me feel more prepared.
Passed ITIL 4 Foundation with 87%. Material was enough by itself.
I had a smooth experience from start to finish. Access was available right away, no technical issues, which made it easy to get started. The content felt relevant and aligned well with what I was looking for.
Does what it says it does. Content felt solid, nothing confusing to navigate and I didn't run into any weird issues. I been putting off scheduling the exam for a while and going through this gave me enough confidence to finally book it and pass.
A very quick response was received via email when a link issue occurred. The study materials provided were high quality and extremely helpful. I was able to complete the test successfully. Many thanks for the excellent support.
