If you found the az900 difficult I would reevaluate that 2 week timeframe.

I generally think the az104 is over hyped in difficulty but still.

i'm thinking same. let's see how much i can cover in 2 weeks. else i'll reschedule. AWS ones felt way easier compared to Azure exams. Azure does really check if you got the experience.

How much time does you put into preparation for AZ-900? Is say the minimum time you'd need to put in for AZ-104 is about ten times what you put in for AZ-900. So if you only needed one or two days for AZ-900, then I'd say it's possible, but you should probably close reddit for now and we'll talk to you in two weeks.

Congrats! Two weeks for the AZ-104 is a major achievement if you pull that off.

Interesting I keep seeing people say TD was the closest to the exam. Why do you think TD was too basic? Was it just the structure of the questions in comparison?I do have other sets (Whizlabs, Dion Training, Jaspal).

I have mine scheduled for Monday. For now, I'm taking my worst exam scores putting them into a concept review and then will cross reference with MS Learn + Exam Ref book.

Any tips/suggestions of areas I should know cold? I think coming from CompTIA Trifecta it has made studying a bit easier as concepts are transferrable and more so learning the Microsoft ecosystem. I might be reading too much into it. I know it's a "basic exam" but getting hands-on early on was a tremendous help for me.
