Preparation
Once you are done going through the syllabus and you understand the exam requirements, it's time to prepare for the exam. So let's begin...
The best source to begin the preparation is Microsoft's learning path. They have good "Knowledge Check" quizzes. You are awarded points and trophies for completing modules. It's quite an interactive way to learn. I started by using the learning path and developing the concepts and making myself familiar with various Azure services and tools[IMPORTANT].
I'll be sharing all the mentioned links at the end don't worry. Let's keep going...
Once you are done going through all the modules and completing all the Labs and quizzes.
It's time to move to the 2nd resource- "The Video tutorials"
There are plenty of resources on YouTube and it's your choice which ones you prefer, here I am sharing the resources I used during my preparation:
The Freecodecamp AZ-900 video by Andrew Brown on YouTube is - Great video seriously!
Tim Warner's AZ-900 YouTube Playlist (69 videos)
John Savill's Hints and Tips for AZ-900
Practice tests by Whizlabs - helped a lot!
So once you are done with the preparation, it's time for the practice.
As the saying goes... Practice makes a man PERFECT.
For practice tests, I purchased the Whizlabs Practice test. They have great practice tests which will definitely help you in your exam. It also helps you to analyze your weak area / strong area.
I suggest you always use practice tests for any exam(any provider you find useful)
