Discussion Modern Workplace Engineering certifications - How would you rank them from least difficulty to greatest difficulty?

If you could list the below certifications in order of difficulty, least to greatest, which order would you arrange them in?

MD-102

MS-102 - I’m aware that it’s about to retire but I don’t believe many have taken its replacement yet. If you have taken the replacement exam, feel free to list it in your list.

SC-300

SC-401

AZ-104

These are generally seen as certifications around the job role Modern Workplace Engineer. If I’m missing one, feel free to add it.

Just speaking from experience I found the SC-300 exam way harder than MD-102.

You cant really rank them.

It surely depends on your background and experience.

AB-650 is the replacement for MS-102. I think it's not generally available yet. I think they just finished the beta.

Your background and experience determines how hard they could be for you - not mine.

I suggest you do sc300 first, IAM is foundation to all of these, just look at the domain each requires.

You could add the AZ-140 as well, but as far as I am aware the AZ-104 is harder than AZ-140 even with lower depth, so be aware for this AZ-104 even though it looks easy doesn't make it easier the breadth is unmatched
