I'm aiming to get certified as an Azure Solutions Architect and I'm comfortable with Azure to some extent, but I'm eager to deepen my knowledge before taking the exams. I'm planning to tackle the AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) and AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect) exams. Although AZ-104 isn't technically a prerequisite, I've heard it's recommended for foundational knowledge. I'm curious about what resources others are using for exam prep. I'm considering signing up for CBT for video-based training and I also have a free Azure account for hands-on practice. Any study tips or resource suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I found John Savill's YouTube videos to be incredibly helpful for my studies—I really recommend them!
It's actually stated on the AZ-305 certification page that AZ-104 is a prerequisite, so you'll want to make sure you have that one under your belt first!
I just passed the AZ-104 using the Scott Duffey course on Udemy, along with practice tests from SkillCertPro and Tutorial Dojo. I also tried the MeasureUp practice test, but it was way tougher than the actual exam!
Both AZ-104 and AZ-305 are necessary to earn the Azure Solutions Architect certification. AZ-104 focuses more on practical skills, while AZ-305 is theory-heavy but still requires solid knowledge.
Do you have any study resources you found particularly helpful for either exam?
How effective are those SkillCertPro practice exams? Are they similar to ExamTopics or ExamCollections?
