How I Prepared for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 Certification
Are you looking to embark on your journey toward Microsoft Azure certification success? Well, you're in the right place! I recently passed the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals AZ-900 certification, and I'm here to share my preparation strategy with you.
Official Learning Path by Microsoft
The first step on my path to AZ-900 success was to explore Microsoft's official learning path for the certification. You can find this comprehensive resource on Microsoft's AZ-900 certification page. It has a total of 11 modules and covers the fundamental concepts of Azure. This learning path is an invaluable asset for anyone aiming to master the fundamentals of Azure.
One crucial piece of advice I can offer is to pay special attention to the knowledge checks at the end of each module.
Additional Learning Resources
While the official learning path is extensive and well-structured, some topics may still leave you with questions or require a general revision. In such cases, I highly recommend referring to the "AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals Study Cram - 2022 Edition" video on YouTube. This video provides a clear and concise overview of the AZ-900 topics and can serve as an excellent supplement to your studies.
Practice Makes Perfect
Now, onto the critical part of your preparation: practice tests. Microsoft offers a practice test assessment specifically designed for AZ-900 certification candidates. You can access it here. This practice assessment simulates the actual exam environment and questions, helping you gauge your readiness.
My strategy was to start taking these practice tests early in my preparation journey. Initially, my scores hovered around 70%, which was a bit discouraging. However, don't be disheartened if your scores aren't perfect from the start. The key is to learn from your mistakes and continue improving.
As you continue to study and take practice tests, aim to achieve consistent scores of 85% or higher. Once you start scoring consistently in this range, it's a strong indicator that you are well-prepared to tackle the actual AZ-900 exam.
The Final Leap
When you've achieved 85% or higher consistently in your practice tests, it's time to take the plunge and register for the actual AZ-900 exam. Remember, confidence is key. Trust in the knowledge you've gained through the official learning path, supplementary resources, and your diligent practice.
Good luck on your certification journey!
