Introduction

In this section, Travis introduces himself and explains that he recently passed the AZ-104 Microsoft Administrator certification. He shares that while studying for the exam, he searched for practical advice but found mostly articles and videos about what topics to learn or how to schedule an online exam. He decided to make a video sharing the exact courses he took, practice exams he used, and some tips to help others pass the certification.

Exam Preparation

In this section, Travis talks about the AZ-104 exam format and shares some tips on how to prepare for it.

Exam Format

  • The AZ-104 exam has 66 questions that must be completed in 120 minutes.
  • The first four questions are case studies where you are given a scenario and asked how you would solve it.
  • These case studies can be flagged but cannot be revisited once you move on to other questions.
  • After completing the case studies, you move on to multiple-choice questions.

Exam Tips

  • Pace yourself during the exam and make sure you stay on time.
  • Take your time with the case study questions as they can take longer than expected.
  • Finish all hands-on labs in preparation for the exam.

Recommended Courses

In this section, Travis recommends two courses that helped him prepare for the AZ-104 certification.

Scott Duffy's Course on Udemy

  • Scott Duffy's course is called "AZ104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Exam Certification 2021" on Udemy.
  • This course covers every concept needed for the certification and includes lots of hands-on labs.
  • However, sometimes Duffy only teaches what is needed to pass the exam instead of providing a complete understanding of concepts.

Microsoft Learn Site

  • The Microsoft Learn site is a learning platform that provides the best teaching for Azure certifications.
  • Go to the Certifications section and browse for "Administrator in Azure."
  • Choose the AZ-104 exam and go through the text-based courses and labs provided.

Azure Administrator Certification Process

In this section, the speaker explains the process of becoming a certified Azure administrator.

Learning Modules

  • The certification skills outline can be downloaded to see the available modules.
  • Each module has several sections that need to be completed.
  • After completing each section, there is a knowledge check to test understanding.
  • The "Learn More" section provides links to labs and further reading.

Practice Tests

  • Wiz Labs offers good practice tests for $10 each.
  • Use an app like Honey or Google for coupons.
  • The AZ 104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Practice Exam on Wiz Labs includes five practice tests and a free test.
  • Taking multiple tests helps with learning as it provides explanations for both correct and incorrect answers.

Secret Sauce

  • The AZ104 Microsoft Azure Administrator Practice Test by Advanceder Education is invaluable.
  • These tests are structured like the actual certification exam and include almost word-for-word questions from the exam itself.
  • Although difficult, taking these practice tests will help prepare for the actual exam.

Last Minute Tips for Azure Exam

In this section, the speaker provides some last-minute tips for taking the Azure exam.

Preparing for the Exam

  • Watch a playlist of five to seven minute videos with Azure questions on it that are similar to the questions you'll see on the exam. These videos will help refresh your memory and prepare you for the exam.
  • Take your exam as early as possible in the morning when you're most alert.
  • Try not to study on exam day. Instead, keep a clear head and grab some coffee before taking your test.

Taking the Exam

  • Don't rush through case studies, especially if they come first on your exam. Take your time and read through them carefully.
  • When flagging a question, always be sure to choose an answer too. This way, if you run out of time at the end of the exam, at least you've put answers on all flagged questions.

Overall, these tips will help ensure that you're well-prepared and focused when taking your Azure certification exam.
