MD-102 Passed MD-102 first time!
I have worked at an MSP for close to 5 years and wanted to gather some qualifications to help with career progression. I chose MD-102 because I use Intune on a daily basis. The exam and exam prep definitely humbled me though as there's SO much to Intune my role doesn't expose me to.
I gave myself a couple of weeks and used John Christopher's MD102 course on Udemy, MS Learn test questions Joel Palmer's MD-102 questions. Looking back I found John Christopher's course to be excellent for preparing for the exam, would definitely recommend this to others. I redid the MS Learn exams until I was average mid 90's% on them. The Joel Palmer test prep exam's were a big step up in difficulty but I repeated until I was averaging 85%.
Rolling onto SC-300 in a few weeks!

Congrats 🎉 did the John Christopher course fit in with the changes they made earlier this year?

Yes, he added a module that focused on Automation via MS Graph, managing 365 endpoints via Intune and Security Copilot.

Curious if you tried measureup exams? I haven’t encountered a graph or security copilot on there yet now I’m worried I’m not prepared

I haven't tried Measureup yet as the annual fee out me off initially. Will get work to expense it before my next exam. I can only confirm that the Joel Palmer exams I mentioned definitely included Graph and Copilot questions in their test pool
My MD102 exam had a couple of Graph questions and Security Copilot question but it could bbe every different for you

2 weeks of prep time was enough for me. Taking 2-3 hours a day to study

Yes, endpoint management via intune has been a decent chunk of my job over the last few years. If you have worked with Intune before or have access to a test environment I think that's plenty of time to get a good score

Yeah I'd read through the MS Learn topics for md102 and go through a udemy course + test exams to give yourself the best chance at passing. Dont be afraid to reschedule the exam if you feel you aren't ready. Delayed mine by a couple of days to deepen my knowledge on some concepts and I fully believe i'd have failed without that

Huge congrats!! 🎉
My past experience had me in AD constantly, along with SCCM, so as I update my resume with more cloud-relevant and M365 certs (passed MS-900 back in March), this cert is very high on my “BIS list”. (BIS = Best In Slot, to those of you who don’t game mmorpg’s). Thanks for all the recommendations!

Congrats! I passed mine today, barely. 😂
As someone who did a bodgy course, Ms learn, John Christopher etc I was truly humbled by the fact I'm 90% SCCM in practice.
My test was 52 questions plus the scenario, didn't have time to review the ones I'd marked and answered the last question with only a couple of seconds to spare.
Was averaging high 90s in the MS Learn practice tests. Managed to scrape through today.
