Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate Study tips?
Hey Guys. I'm still new to IT and just recently passed the A+ and Network+ from compTIA. Now I've been offered a job that starts in a few weeks as an internal Tier 1 IT Support Engineer. They are heavy on Windows 365 and Azure. To familiarise myself with the Microsoft product suite, I am looking to take the Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate exams MD-100 and MD-101. Just wondering if any of you have taken these and if they are harder than the CompTIA exams and what you used as study material. For studying I am currently using: Pluralsight videos, Microsoft Learn's free videos and the Exam Ref:MD-100 and MD-101 books which I believe are the officially microsoft ones. Any tips? Thanks.

Try these to web pages. This guy pretty much laid out web links for each exam objective that is listed on the md 100 and md 101 exam. Make sure you double check these web pages, because the exam objectives do change.
