Tips to clear AZ-900 on the first attempt with just 5 days preperation.

Plan Your Exam Date

This is important because Microsoft keeps updating the syllabus as it keeps on updating its services and launch new services.

If you are new and have no idea of what Cloud is, have about 50 to 60-hour time frame to get a good understanding of the cloud concepts

If you already have an idea of what Cloud is and basics of cloud then less than 40 hours would be quite sufficient for you to clear the exams

Go by the latest syllabus.

If You are a person who loves to read, Microsoft Offical documentation is the best way to learn.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900

If you are a type of person who likes more of recorded content to learn than reading then make sure that you follow the updated syllabus, as most of the content available on the youtube might be missing some important as it may not be available in the syllabus at the time of the content creation. So ensure that you will follow the latest syllabus for not missing any topic.

here are some links with good quality content for AZ-900

Still, some topics will be missing in these video as per the latest syllabus, So it is highly recommended to read the official documentation at least once.

Utilize Free Materials Available

Microsoft will offer you two ways to prepare for the exams

one is through online documentations

the second one is a paid service in which you will be taught by an instructor from Microsoft.

AZ-900 is a basic level examination you can prepare it yourself. So I recommend not to spend money on this especially when the free materials available are up to the mark.

courses from udemy and other learning platforms are also not required to clear the exams, but if you are planning to take one

nake sure the course you are picking up contains the latest syllabus and provides you with a collection of dumps (at least 500 questions.)

The More the number of questions you practice, the more the chance to clear the exams, so if are spending money on the course

make sure you have a bunch of dumps available with that

Practice Dumps

if you are not opting to get paid course and dumps, not to worry There are lot of free sites providing dumps for AZ-900, Even though you will not a full-fledged version of dumps what is available as a free version will be much helpful and I recommend spending 40 to 50 % time practising dumps.

here are some links which I found useful in practising the dumps

https://pupuweb.com/microsoft-azure-fundamentals-az900-actual-exam-question-answer-dumps

https://www.exam-answer.com/microsoft/az-900

https://www.examtopics.com/exams/microsoft/az-900

combining all the 3 you will get up to 200 to 250 unique questions to practice, with which you can expect the 50 % of the questions for your exams.

You will get an idea of how the questions will be asked in the actual exams. what are all the concepts that will be very similar to each other, what are their differences etc.

For Example :

VNET and VPN Gateway

both allow you to connect two virtual networks, so you have to understand when to use VNET peering and when to use VPN Gateway

VPN Gateway can be used when you need an encrypted connection between two virtual networks but will have bandwidth restrictions.

whereas VNET provides low latency, high bandwidth connection.

This is one such example, There are a lot of other things

Because at exams these are the ones which are going to confuse you in the exams and you might missout some valuable points.

once Your Preparation is completed spend some time to revise the topics ( say at least 2 to 3hours).

You are now all set to take up the exam.

Check IN EARLY.

This is very important, Microsoft asks you to check in half an hour before your scheduled time, but if are new to attend exams on Pearson VUE environment, I recommend you to join at least 45 mins before your scheduled time so that you get some time and don't have to hurry up the check-in process.

Follow the exam Rules

Microsoft comes up with a set of rules for taking up the exam, I highly recommend you to follow all the rules, A person will verify you with your identity and will always be watching you at your exams. So keep it simple and take the exam honestly.

Tips to utilize the PersonVUE environment

If you are taking exams in this environment, I have some tips for you.

One good functionality available in the PersonVUE platform is the Check later functionality.

In case of doubts in the answers, you can mark those questions to check later and move forward to the next question.

This will make sure that you will not run out of time and not stuck in some question.

All the very best for YoU.
