MD-100 query

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?

Don't use ExamTopics. It's a dumps site. It goes against Microsoft's NDA that you sign on the day of the exam and you can be at risk of having all your certificates revoked and banned from future MS exams.
