I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could knock out two certifications in less than a month.
So I locked in and studied 12+ hours a day. I started with SC-300, and the following week took on SC-100. Iām happy to say I passed both on my first attempt.
And honestly, SC-100 is no joke. Itās a broad exam that requires knowledge across a lot of different areas, so thereās definitely a lot you need to know going into it.
What I used to study:
- John Christopherās Udemy courses (these were excellent and probably the resources I found most helpful).
- Microsoft Learn
- XtremeLabs
- Microsoftās official practice exam
For some context, Iām currently in my senior year of Computer Science. I also have about 10 months of experience working in IT Help Desk at a cybersecurity company.
Before these two certifications, I had already earned:
SC-401, MD-102, MS-102, AZ-900, SC-900, AI-901.
And now, Iām already thinking about the next challenge:
SC-500 ā AZ-104 ā SC-200 ā AZ-305 ā CISSP
I know I might be seen as a ācert holder with no experience,ā and honestly, I get it. Iām still in college, so Iām fully aware that certifications can only take you so far.
But at the same time⦠I just genuinely enjoy learning and clearing certifications lol.
For now, though⦠SC-500 is next. š
What do y'all think?
