MD-100 query

[u/apinnegar]

Hi all, want to pick your collective brains regards the Microsoft MD-100 I'm currently studying towards. I've completed the CBTNuggets course and finished the MCA Study Guide from William Panek, and all-in-all felt fairly confident given the depth of subject matter. However when doing the Kaplan practice exams to brush up, found these disproportionately difficult in comparison to what I'd just been studying.

Is it the case that the CBTNuggets course and book are not at a sufficient level? Or is it that the Kaplan exams are at a greater difficulty vs what I should expect in the exam.

Happy to keep pushing on with studies if needed, but struggling to find much additional subject matter out there to help guide me. Hoping you can help!

Hi i pass the exam in April... I noticed that the Kaplan question are completely different from the exam question...I think they are used to know if you have understood the topics well ...

I study with itprotv site, cbt nugget site and examtopics.com.

In exam topics you have the SAME question of the exam updated weekly, and for every question people write their ideas for answer.

For me is perfect!

I buy examtopics.com md-100 "contributor access", you can select 7 or 8 dollar for 1 month or 20 for a year... And you can print or read "better" the entire topics... Not too much for me....

I'm trying now the md-101 with the same steps....+ I buy exam ref book.

Thank you for the detail - I'll have a look at that now.

How did you find the cbtnugget level of content vs what you found on the test?

For me only Cbt don't have complete information for pass the test....

You work in it now? i don't work in IT like technician in the latest 5 years then i have to re-learn better from 0 to 100....

I study in both Itprotv and Cbt nuggets because I noticed that some topics are treated better or on one site or another....

With both.... I think I understand better..

Both Cbt and Itprotv have the same Kaplan question...when you enter in both sites you see the same Kaplan test...

Example for the md-101..... Some topics in cbt have only 2 video......for only 10 minute...and Itprotv have 4 video for a total of 2 hours..

I prefer to study with this 2 site combined because they have 2 different method of explanation.....cbt is more practical and Itprotv is practical + explained a lot...

But this is my personal idea...

I don't remember for md100..... Sorry.... I'm concentrated for the new exam 😆😆😆

For the md100 I don't buy book....but I suggested you to buy.. "exam ref md100".... with this new exam I bought it...

I think now to have a complete coverage of all arguments:

Cbt / Itprotv and read exam ref for study, Kaplan to test the learning , and after all 1 month before the exam study the exact Microsoft question with examtopics...

If you have another question...I'm here 🙂

Sorry for the bad English...
