Exam flavor:
This exam will take 60mins with 44–45 questions. Remember, some questions are reviewable some are not, so read the question carefully before answer.
There will be multi-select, drag and drop, true/false type questions.
How to prepare
Microsoft Learn:
The best knowledge resource and most helpful. Top on that, it is completely free and well distributed by topics.
Plularsight:
Plularsight has its reputation as a premium learning platform. They have monthly subscriptions and various learning paths. It is slightly exorbitant, too many options to choose and confusing in the beginning.
Preparation step:
- Focus on azure exam topic Microsoft regularly change them.
2. Finish all available Microsoft learning path materials.
3. Practice and identify the weak points.
4. Take a special course from Plularsight or any other platform on weak points.
5. Be mentally prepared.
Not to Do:
- Relying only on Dumps.(Question can be very different and dumps are not reliable)
- Relying on mugging-up Online courses
- Running from gaining hands-on experience.
- Considering the exam as ‘not so important’
- Appearing without prior studying
- Do not take this exam if possible. I have faced several issues with that and it is really annoying. The best option is to take it in a test center.
