Tips
Use Microsoft Learn as your foundation but don't rely on it alone. Practice exams are the #1 predictor of readiness. Focus on Azure Pricing, SLAs, and Cost Management — multiple people scored lowest there. Use John Savill's Study Cram as a final review the day before. Time is abundant — don't stress about the clock.
