[SuranMedia]

I just passed AZ-900 today! For those who wonder what i did.

I got 31 questions, Pass score was 700, and i got 810.

I saw this video at 1.5x everyday when i was commuting, eating breakfast or just being alone and not infront of a computer. And i did all the Learn paths for AZ-900.
PS! The Exam is harder then the LEARN tests. I highly recommend you do a thirdparty testing. I purchased a test on Whizlabs and omg im so thankful i did, at some points i found the Whizlab test harder then the actual exam! Good luck everybody!

Thank u Andrew Brown for making these bangers, now i am going for the AZ-204 ( yes i am a developer)

[justinbates]

Watched this 1 and a half times and went and took the exam. Passed :) Thanks for the help! Now on to AZ-104!

[Serge_The_Writer]

Just cleared the exam with a score of 955
Thank you very much. I watched the video 2 times and took the free test
On to 104!

[MaximBordyug.]

Excellent course! Azure fundamentals can be daunting, but you've broken it down so clearly. The promise to pass the exam in 8 hours is impressive and speaks to the course's effectiveness. Thanks for sharing this valuable resource! 🌟

[eddielai]

Thank you so much for the clear and concise explanation !

[sanisaj]

Amazing course, just one point 1:16:17 The Fault Domain is not a logical grouping but rather a physical grouping ( a rack) and on the other hand Update domain is a logical grouping

[KamelleJaye]

I just passed! (passing score is 700 and I received an 826) I had 33 questions on my exam. Finished in less than 20 minutes and I only watched this video twice. This was all the studying I needed. Thank you!

[alejandroflorez]

Taking the AZ-900 this weekend. Incredible course to review before the exam.

I also didn't know/forgot that any 900 certs by Microsoft were "lifetime" certs. Great catch there!

[hverlord]

Passed this week thanks to this, Thank you for a very comprehensive course!

[rockymmm]

Thank you for making this and thank you for making this much effort for us could expect the associate-level administrator and devops too from you .. once again thank you for making this video

[Ruffdogg]

I passed the AZ-900 by taking the exampro course. I’m motivated to get my next cert now.

[sverna]

Easy pass, thanks for a good refresher with up to date information.

One thing, which may be beyond your control is that awful music in between segments. I prefer less segments because the smaller segments coupled with music intros/outtros takes me out of the immersion of the course itself.

At times, the segments were very short, and that music still played. 30 minutes into the course I already wanted to throw something at my speakers because of the music. I wish there was an option to mute just the music during topic changes.

[rishabharya]

I took the test today and passed, scored 810/1000. Thank you for this course

[manoharoberoi]

I have passed AZ-900 exam today and scored 763 out of 1000 I have taken your paid course and gone through the video content and practice the mock exams on exam pro website.

[MERMEN]

Planning on taking the test in feb 2024!!! Thanks for this!!!

[austinclements]

thanks! i have to renew my A+ and this is one of the certs that Comptia accepts to renew the 1002

[ashrafmaniyar]

I have just completed the exam and passed on 28 march 2024 by just watching 3hrs of this video 🙌🏼,

[lucianofragaweb]

I've just passed the exam with score 800+
Amazing content!
