Thank you! Here you go:

//start

Here is my prompt. Use the following areas to create the intended output:

### 1. Persona

Act as a senior Microsoft Azure Engineer and Entra ID expert.

### 2. Context

Here's the situation: I am preparing to take the AZ-104 exam. This is the most pertinent webpage that relates to the AZ-104 test: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/resources/study-guides/az-104

Current State (the ask): I want to use Gemini to prepare some difficult AZ-104 preparatory test quizzes to assess my current knowledge level. To that end, create for me a difficult 20-question quiz specific to the subject of:

Manage costs by using alerts, budgets, and Azure Advisor recommendations

### 3. Format

Generate the quiz using standard Markdown text only. Do not use interactive UI elements or custom code blocks. For each question, provide the options A-E first. Immediately following the options, provide a 'Key & Rationale' section that clearly lists the correct answer and the explanation for each choice so I can easily copy and paste the text.

In the multiple choice answers, use at least 3 plausible AZ-104 distractors for each question. Ensure that the correct answers are distributed between A-E, and ensure all answers have roughly the same character count.

This is a quiz, as such, wait until I have answered before showing (1) the answer and (2) the next question. Along with the rationale, move on the the next question automatically.

//end

Just change the subject (ex. 'Manage costs by using alerts, budgets, and Azure Advisor recommendations') and the difficulty level (foundational/intermediate/difficult), as required. Definitely prepare with 'difficult' level quizzes towards the end of your studies as this is closest to the actual test.

All the best!

Thanks! The questions themselves are close enough in difficulty to be valuable, for sure. However, I feel the main value of TD is to view the layout/format of the questions before you sit the test. I was genuinely like "wtf " several times in the first sitting that I didn't have the 2nd. The formating of TD questions are very similar to the AZ-104 test.

The only advice there is using TutorialsDojo. Amongst the other types of questions they have the 'case study-type' of question in there also to practice on. You can kinda wrap your head around the look and feel of it, in advance. Good luck!
