Yesterday I passed the Microsoft Certified Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) exam –
hurray!
Pleased though I was to pass it, I was surprised by what felt like a mismatch between the learning materials and the exam contents.
A lot of what I studied using Microsoft Learn simply did not come up – though, admittedly, this could be down to the pool of questions I was given on the day.
Conversely, certain questions I was asked were not covered in the training material – though Microsoft always encourages you to read around the subjects.
My tips:
Happy learning!

My tips:
- Cover all the topics. As a developer I am drawn towards the core Azure services: Compute, Storage and Networking – but a lot of the exam focuses on pricing, compliance and service lifecycle, so make sure you know about these.
- Gain some hands-on experience. Complete the practical exercises and walkthroughs
- Follow the links to resources such as the Pricing Calculator and Trust Center
- Take a practice test – the one that I took was much closer to the actual exam than the Knowledge Check questions at the end of each Learn module.
Happy learning!
