Hi Chris

One last question....if I study the links in your blog post will that be sufficient to pass the MS-900 exam?

[#6]

Hi Navishkar Sadheo,

This, and the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals course on Microsoft Learn should put you in a position to make a good go at it. I would also look to sign up to an Office 365 30 day trial if you haven't got a demo tenant and get hands on.

Another place which may be of interest is Pluralsight as they may have a video series. The actual official practice test is not out at the moment but will be later in the year.

Hope that helps!

Best, Chris

@Christopher Hoard  - Thanks Chris. I just booked it. Will let you know the outcome.

[#8]

Great, let me know.

If you have any questions in particular or are confused about any element then PM me.

These are braindumps which I’m quite sure using them violates the rules when taking an exam! Braindumps are nothing but an easy way out for those who don’t take this seriously and don’t bother or have the skills necessary to make an exam!

I’d suggest removing this post!

I have reported it @adam deltinger - thanks though couldn’t have said it better.

@Christopher Hoard 

Hi Chris

I just passed MS-900 using your recommendations. Thanks a lot!!

Did you write MS-202 as yet??

[#12]

Congratulations! That’s great news!

I have taken it - and pleased to say passed 202.

Will try to write it in the next month for you. Is that a good timeframe?

Best, Chris

[#13]

@Christopher Hoard 

Thanks Chris that's perfect.

Out of curiosity why does MS release exams with no training content??

[#14]

Hi Chris. Hope you well. How is 202 coming alon

[#15]

Next up - just finished 300/301. It will be out within next 2 weeks. Target date is 2nd July :white_heavy_check_mark:

With kind regards,

Hi @johnleejones1870

I have had a look at your preparation via the link - I think the combination of the blog, MS Learn and Pluralsight is going to put you in a strong position to make a good attempt at this.

I would say a definitely yes for hands on should you have the opportunity - I don't think it's absolutely essential to pass MS-900 since 900 is largely conceptual however it will certainly better your understanding and again, give you the best chance in passing.

Let us know how you get on

Best, Chris

[#22]

Thank you very much @Christopher Hoard . I will definitely let you know. I really appreciate your input.

[#23]

@Christopher Hoard 

MS-202 passed!!!

Thanks Chris!!

[#24]

Hi Chris, I am just about to start preparing for the MS-900 exam and I just want to double check what you recomend that I should study. --> https://microsoft365pro.co.uk/2019/01/25/microsoft-365-fundamentals-ms-900-exam-prep-guide/ --> You mentioned Plurasight, what exactly should I study on that site?

[#25]

Hi @InTheCloud666

At the current time I would recommend

1.) My blog: https://microsoft365pro.co.uk/2019/01/25/microsoft-365-fundamentals-ms-900-exam-prep-guide/
2.) MS Learn Microsoft 365 course
3.) The EDX version of the course here: https://openedx.microsoft.com/courses/course-v1:Microsoft+MS-900.1+2019_T2/course/

Pluralsight and Udemy would be any content related to the above, particularly this course by Vlad Catrinescu

https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/microsoft-365-services-concepts

Hope that helps and gets you a result

Best, Chris

Remove that crap! Posting/ Using this is against the rules both in this forum and for use taking exams! Reported!

[#27]

@Christopher Hoard  This was so helpful I currently have a basic help desk job in IT and looking to further my education at a low cost. This was what I have been looking for to get started studying. 

Thanks so much!!!! Any other links or information you have for the MS-900 will be very much appreciated.  

[#28]

Thanks for the great feedback! My pleasure!

In terms of low cost resources Microsoft have a MS-900 short form course on MS Learn and in the blog there is a link to an open EDX course which is free too. The three together (blog and two courses should put you in a good position). If you are a Microsoft partner then you can get hands on experience through a demo tenant at demos.microsoft.com or if not simply spin up a 30 day trial of Microsoft 365. Always good to get hands on.

If you do have a little money to spare then I would consider the official practice test at Mindhub or the book on Amazon if it is out.

Best of luck for the exam!

Best, Chris
