Deep Dive
Spark experience gets you maybe half of this exam. The other half is Databricks-the-platform, and that's the half that fails people.
The questions live in the details of the platform: what MERGE INTO does on a Delta table, when OPTIMIZE and Z-ORDER actually help, Auto Loader versus COPY INTO, what a Lakeflow declarative pipeline expectation does when a record violates it, and Unity Catalog privileges - who can grant what on which securable. The current blueprint also added a CI/CD domain - asset bundles, Git folders, promoting code across environments - that older study material doesn't cover at all.
45 questions in 90 minutes, around 70% to pass. This PDF has 225 real questions from the actual exam, matched to the current blueprint, covering the exact Delta, ingestion, Lakeflow, and governance scenarios Databricks tests.
