According to the official FAQ, the short answer is NO.

They will probably release a practice test when they retire existing current version.

Long answer:

Are there any practice exams available for Databricks certification exams? At this time, there are two certifications with practice exams available. The Databricks Certified Associate Developer for Apache Spark 3.0 exam has a practice exam available for Python and Scala. The Databricks Certified Data Engineer Associate exam also has a practice exam available.

No Practice exam as of now

but considering this exam overview course with 5 sample questions (this is sufficient to know what you should concentrate on and what topics you want to learn more)

I passed that exam and I would recommend focusing on delta format (understanding how it works), medallion architecture, performance issues ( spill, skew, shuffle, storage issue, memory issue) and following all notebooks from Databricks Academy.

right now in the data engineering certification journey, practice exam available only for the associate one (https://files.training.databricks.com/assessments/practice-exams/PracticeExam-DataEngineerAssociate.pdf). In one of the databricks sessions, they mentioned there is a possibility of 1 practice exam for the professional certification to be made available by the 1st quarter of 2023.
