Free tip for udemy. If you open it in a private browser whilst not signed in... There's always a sale on... The add to basket THEN sign in
FYI, Scott Duffy's courses are not complete. The questions on his Questions Banks are not even covered in his courses. There will be a lot of question that are not covered by his courses. Read his reviews.
Freer tip, many library cards have access to Udemy or Udemy business for free.
@@alpyilmaz4803 what course should i get then?i just bought his course but can return it and get a diff one
@@rknemani I'd rather take this route. For the most part, I prefer not to undercut someone getting paid for their work.
Thank you!!
I cant tell how much you contribute to the community who want to take the Microsoft exams. No BS, no paid ad, no self- commercial, pure support. Those kind of videos are so rare nowaday. Please take a big thank from me sir
Most detailed and informative video I’ve seen on UA-cam regarding the Azure Cloud exams. Thanks Travis! Going to be taking my DP-203 exam soon and this was super helpful
Hey Tavis. thats great to hear from you and it is very much helpful that you explained very well starting from choosing the right certification among different and the path to parepare and concluded about what steps need to take on the exam day.Thank you very much.
Excellent tips, resources and delivery towards an optimal and successful exam prep. Thank you!
33 and I’m burnt out of working with healthcare. Last week we did training for a call center. Today is my first day. I hate it.
So this is something I’m going to do next.
Never read the full case study in the exam.too much unnecessary info. Refer to the parts when answering the question.
Hey Travis, love the videos. I taught myself how to code after 30 and successfully changed careers into web development. I am now planning to pivot into a DA path and will be looking into some of the azure certifications. Great video, thanks!
Hey Travis, great video!
I recently did the AZ-204 without much prep, but have been working with Azure for more than a year. Really resonate about the open book, I used it in the AZ-204 and finished the exam right on time. In the past, I usually finished 15-30 minutes before the time allotted. Just a tip to not get lost looking at documentation.
How did you manage all the detailed questions? I also have been working with it for over a year but majority of the questions are so detailed it is not something you really pickup when developing, you need to google. How did your prep look like? :)

I always love your content, always. The advise you give is so invaluable. Keep doing it.
Thank you so much I passed my AZ-104 exam. your videos and certifiedumps study guide + practice test helped me to pass my exam.
where did you find the dumps and practice test for az104 ?

Excellent video. Thank you for making it. I'm 32, switching career paths from an HVAC tech to my passion; technology and development. I really enjoyed your video because of your positive energy, comforting voice, and the in-depth information you shared. Liked, saved, and subscribed. If UA-cam doesn't work out, you could probably be a voice actor for motivational audio books or a coffee commercial... When you wake up in the morning to a flat tire and feel like you haven't gotten a good night's sleep in days because you're obsessed with your latest project. Reach for the brew with a mountain sunshine view, it's enough to start up your dead truck. Reach for the coder's cup! And when life doesn't go your way, PIVOT! 😅😅🏆🏆🤦♂🤦♂ Thanks again, brother!
I did not know about the open book - that's awesome. I'm taking AZ-104 soon and feel like I understand the concepts fine but was worried about remembering stuff like Powershell commands, SKU offerings etc. This really takes that pressure off, and it makes sense because in the realy world no one needs to know all that off by heart
Yeah it was new to me prior to this video. Though if you are going to use the docs for a few things, be sure to know exactly where to find it as there won't be any added time to the exam. I finished with like 3 minutes left! I think you can remember most the powershell commands as there's a pattern to them. While I didn't have the open book option, I may use it for things like VM sizes, etc. Best of luck on taking it!
Hi
Did you clear the exam? What resources did you use to study? I’m planning Az-104 next month
This is good. I wanted to focus on AWS but this actually makes a more clearer plan
Great tips, Travis.Thank you. I'm preparing to enter the cloud field and I appreciate those precious tips.
Thank you for this video! Super helpful, will be applying these this year.
I know it's silly, but I really like Travis' voice. It makes it easy to watch his videos from start to end, and I'm always looking forward to the next one!
He really does have a smooth radio announcer kind of voice.
OMG I had the same feeling for no reason lol
So true
Thanks for this Travis! Very helpful info!
💕Thank you so much for breaking down the pathway for beginners. I appreciate your time and commitment to teaching us.
Thank you so much for the tips and the resources!
Thank you Travis, very helpful info. I have struggled with knowing what to study. This lays out a great plan. Going to use it now.
Very useful tips and straight to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for this video!
It's really really helpful!
Awesome tips! Nailed every detail! Really appreciated! 🙏
Awesome video @Tavis Media, thanks for the sharing your exam cert prep
Thanks a lot Travis for the great tips 😊
Very amazing and informative, thanks for sharing ♥
Thank you for creating such an informative video. It has made it much easier for me to understand where to begin, and I feel confident about starting now.
Very good tips! Thank you very much, Travis !!!
Really GREAT guide and teaching 👌🏻👍🏼
Awesome. Thanks for the tips.
Great one, I found it useful. Thanks Travis :)
Great exam preparation tips. Thank Travis :)
Great video thank you
Travis articulate communicator, great teacher, proficient developer
Did not quite see the value with MS learn before watching this video, always tend to forget how good MS documentation actually is. Your recommendation for using it together with your training is such a good recommendation, I am using it daily myself now.
I agree with you 100%. Why do we have to memorize everything, and most of them we never used. Open-book tests usually slow you down. You actually need to study for your test. You only use open book for the one that you are not sure.
Its a great tips. Thank you!.
Great Explanation Thanks
Very informative Video!...Thank you.
Az-104 is not an open book exam (not anymore if it was in the past). This is from Az-104 exam policy: "This exam will be proctored, and is not open book"
It's not "open book", but you do have access to Microsoft Learn
great video, thanks for your good advice
thank you. it really helps me.
Thank you, very helpful
excelent last 3 tips!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for such great detailed valuable information, if only all of youTube was like this!
Best 18 mins ever Thanks
Thank you Travis. Amazing explanation. Love from India.👍👍
OMG knowing that I can see the documentation during the exam gave me so much peace 😮💨
Super super rich information in this video, this was really helpful as I am on the journey to transition to be a cloud network engineer from traditional network engineer.
Thank you so much great video will definitely let you know as soon as cleared az-104
i passed the Exam thank you followed exactly what you have told.
Today i have passed the exam.
Great video 💯
Thank you, especially about the part with Open Book. I'm struggling with some parts of BI and those things. I kind of know it, but still miss some service names.
I have an exam this Friday, and this information is so helpful! 😊
Did you pass?
I am a traditional windows admin and I love your channel! So bloody, good well done no patronisation meant. Haha
Jolly good. Miss being a Windows Admin. It's fantastic work.
make sure to look locally for how much market share the cloud has! For me as an example, the story is a whole different. As of 2020, Microsoft Azure held the largest market share for cloud computing in the Netherlands, with 73% of the market. Within the healthcare sector, Azure’s share was even higher at 90%,
Good video, thanks.
this whizlabs hints are great!
Even the senior escalation engineers in Microsoft uses the documents and code info so I think this Open book concept is pretty realistic
Thank you🙏
Thanks ... open book explanation was helpful
Taking the exam there was NO open book option anywhere ????????
Open book is a great idea and might sound like a cheat code, but don't be fooled. You won't have much time to do research on the spot during the exam - you get 50-60+ complex, scenario based questions and some labs (+/- for each exam), but such volume simply eliminates any chance of you showing up unprepared and passing. I studied for 2 weeks for my AZ800, open book concept was already introduced and I had 0 time to search around for answers. Failed twice, studied more, then passed.
You have a great voice!
His voice is hot and he knows it 😂
Yes, what Certification I need to talk like him?
Reading and comprehending what you read is the most important skill for any job.
Great video Travis! You should do the same for security certs :) insightful content 🎉
Getting any degree or certification at this point in history is basically your POC on: "I am this good at finding the relevant answer to any given question you throw at me." Not everything has to be held in that brain of yours - but where and how to find the answers to any question, that is a true skill to have - in my opinion.
Thank you so much
Any job in IT I've had, and with 17 years google box has been everyone's friend. There are many things you have have to know, but there are always times when you have to be able to research. So it makes it realistic. But not being able to understand what you need to research or what the problem is the issue with people who lie on a resume.
Thanks it waw very useful video
Scott Duffy is great for priming the information for sure
Thank You.
Hi Travis, great advices in the video. I want to share my opinion on the first advice, correlate learning with MS doc. It's great! I've been studying the certs with Examtopics, which is a great source, but I'm only remembering the answers and yet I don't understand the concepts of why I'm doing this. So I can actually pass the exams, but after that, I'd forget what are these services for or where can I find the relevant information. Maybe the next cert if I adopt your suggestion, I would have a better understanding!
So you are cheating with brain dumps....and you wonder why you arn't understanding the underlying concepts
This is exactly how the kubernetes CKA exam is. You can look up stuff but not alot of time. So you have to only use if necessary or to copy a template for some yaml files.
Superb video ;)
Thanks for the info - question... how mucha are the case studies worth vs the multiple choice ?
Very helpfull,
Thanks!
Currently a sys admin and have been doing small bits of development for my job and really enjoy it. As a result I have been learning more dev tools to transition into a full dev position in the near future.
These videos are so informative, well articulated, and coated in the character and charm that is Travis. I really appreciate everything you do. Of the dozen different programming youtube channels I have explored you are the best I have found.
Thank you! Means the world
Thank you.
Great Tips
Great video. Why not start with the fundamentals course AZ-900? Is that not beneficial for jobs or are they looking for at least an admin/associate level cert?
Hey. Thank you very much. Do you have a DevOps path?
Hello, just began my AZ-104 exam path today, thanks for your clear explanations and planning tricks, have a wonderful day.
Great video
15:57 " you'll study and study and never feel ready. You'll just keep studying You'll forget about it and never get the certification " 😂 so true for me!
I would argue not many of us in IT in general don't memorize everything. We still go back and look things up.
Last week I took and passed the Azure AI-900 exam.. but open book is not allowed... the Pearson View proctor made sure to look at my surroundings before I started to answer the exam.
Great video. start with azure google or aws. Can you show a developer the documentation to make a decision for a workload? Thank you
An AOB question?What are the dangers of profile merging your accounts?
Great video travis . I am power bi developer but currently we are using aws for storing data .now fabric is launching in may I wanna do poc costingwise which one is better aws or azure. Could you please guide me how can I do this poc?
Subscribed.😊
Travis, is there much difference between Microsoft Learn mock tests and Whizlabs ones? I'm from Brazil and I'm pursuing a cloud career, and some tests can get a little bit expensive.
Duffy's AZ-204 series is out of date. I tried it today and got stopped in section 2 due to changes in the way App Services works causing deployment failures.
Thanks
Great topic! How about Google Cloud Complete Guide?
What's the advantage of Whiz Labs compared to MS Learn practice exams?
Travis, thanks for the great tips. When you are in charlotte, north carolina coffee is on me!
I'll remember that! I lived a few years in Raleigh in the past, and often go to the Charlotte IKEA still.
@@TravisMedia I am just a few minutes away from IKEA. Great to hear from you. After watching your video, it has given me more confidence and I am about to begin my certification journey.
Is Scott Duffy's courses actually any good?
@TravisMedia what’s your go to training for VMware?
Another point about remembering documentation is that documentation changes all of the time. Whatever you have committed to memory this year may be completely obsolete next year. Tests that center around memorization are bad tests.
Good point!
