So I recently passed the DP-900 exam. For me as an IT Pro of 20 years now, this was doable without too much prep. But I passed nearly, so I guess I was a bit lucky too. 😉

Here are my tips for preparing for the exam.

Step 1: Microsoft Learn self-paced training 👟

Take the self-paced training on Microsoft Learn. This will get you up to speed with the basics of Azure Data Fundamentals.

Step 2: John Savill’s DP-900 study cram v2.0 📼

This video from John gave me a better insight in some of the concepts. John’s way of explaining things really suits me.

Step 3: Microsoft Learn resources 📚

The following resources are based on the things I needed to learn more about myself. Can be different from your shortlist. 😉

Step 4: Practice exam 📝

Take the practice exam. This will give you a good idea of what to expect. You can check your answers right away to get instant feedback.

Step 5: Exam ✍️

Good luck with the DP-900 exam, don’t stress about it. If it helps, I failed a good amount myself at the first try. Just try again and you’ll get there. 👍
