Passing My AZ-104 Certification Exam

It’s official: I am so happy that I have (finally) passed this exam. I failed my first exam on February 1^st (I completely forgot all about scheduling it). 2 months later and I passed.

This is my first Azure associate exam. It is completely different level of difficulty versus the Azure fundamentals exam. I want you to know about this upfront so that you can adjust your studying habits.

This is also why passing my exam is so fulfilling because I have overcome. Also I am now a cloud administrator.

Here are the resources that I used this time to pass my Azure Administrator Associate exam:

• AzureCertification subreddit – I love this community it is so helpful.
• Andrew Brown of ExamPro – for the beta exam course. This has gotten the ball rolling for me.
• Whizlabs – very close to exam questions
• Microsoft Learn – I did the learning path and the Microsoft Ignite Cloud Skills Challenge learning path to get the free exam voucher.
• Jon Bonso AZ-104 Tutorial Dojo practice exams on his website – the dropdown buttons are very accurate to the exam
• Alan Rodrigues Udemy prep course – his labs were great. I did poorly on the labs and case study the first time
• John Savill Azure masterclass YouTube videos especially networking because they’ve helped me better understand the material.

My goal is to go into cybersecurity – I always love statistics and finding outliers. I want to know if these outliers are one-offs or the start of a pattern. Achieving this Azure Administrator exam helps me so much. I am also thinking about going into Azure security and/or SC-300 IAM administrator.

Good luck everyone!
