What are the best study tips and materials for the AZ-900 certification?

Just a heads-up, the AZ-900 is a lot about memorizing key terms and concepts. If you find a good online course and dedicate a solid week to study, you should be more than ready for the exam!

Definitely start with Microsoft Learn and check out John Savill's AZ-900 videos on YouTube. They simplify the concepts and make them easy to grasp. It's mostly about understanding the principles, so don’t stress too much. Once you feel ready, try doing some practice questions to identify any weak spots; I found a set from EduSum really helpful for that. Aim to study a bit each day instead of cramming, and you'll do great!

Don't forget to also explore budgeting for your own Azure tenant. Having hands-on experience makes it much clearer. The AZ-900 is pretty straightforward but do focus on cloud basics, pricing models, security, and Azure services. Talking through your study methods with others can also clarify any tricky topics.

Microsoft Learn (mSLearn) is a fantastic resource to get you started. It's laid out nicely and helps reinforce your understanding as you study for the exam.
