I passed my AZ-104 test even though I was certain I wouldn’t. I knew I wasn’t ready, but I was using a Build voucher, so I couldn’t reschedule. Halfway through the test, I was convinced I had bombed it. My score wasn’t great, but it was good enough to pass, and that’s all that matters.

I have no experience with Azure, but I have had various amounts of administration experience over the years. Without this subreddit, I doubt I would have found the sources I needed for studying, so thank you!

John Savill’s exam cram video was great for explaining the overview of systems, and the TD exams were invaluable to me for learning the mindset needed to answer the questions. The way they explained the answers made a huge difference in my ability to understand what was going on. It also helped a ton in learning to parse which information was relevant to the question and what I could ignore.

I also used the Android app by Tun Tran to help fill in time when I wasn’t on my desktop. However, the app didn’t make sense to me until after I started doing the Tutorials Dojo practice tests. The questions in the app were good, but the explanations of answers were not as useful.

I didn’t use Learn during the test at all. I finished with a lot of time left but didn’t review any of my answers. I knew I was more likely to talk myself out of a correct answer than I was to talk myself into one.
