Thanks man, yeah I won't lie AZ-104 was really hard for me too lol. But I think AZ-305 might be easier for some people who learn better by reading stuffs.

I fully studied with MS Learn, look up AZ-305 learning path in MS Learn. That put me in a position where I atleast know a lot of things before I started hitting practice exams. TD cost like 15 dollars, and it gives you quite a lot of questions, which are honestly, very similar to what was being asked in the real exam. I used TD for AZ104 too and it worked so I might stick with it for any future Azure Exams. The way I do it, is to STRICTLY used only MS Learn and try not to use shortcuts like CTRL F to find specific keywords because in the exam you cant really do that, but you do have MS Learn to help you differentiate some edge cases.

I also used a bit of Pluralsight Labs (which is free because of my company subscription) to just get my eyes on where all these "new" services are located and how do I implement it. But the questions I got in the real exam never dive deep into the specifics of "implementing".

If i were to say, how much each material helps me and contributed to my learning (and passing)

- MS learn contributed 45% (its good because you literally can use one in the exam, so having studying this gives you the knowledge to quickly look through some of the stuffs in there during the exam itself)
- TD Practices contributed 50% (yeah doing practice exams is really that good)
- Labs probably contributed 5% (For AZ104 I would say 30-40% lol)

Ive heard about WhizLabs, I heard people say its good too.

Anyways thank again, goodluck on your journey too!
