Passed MD-102 recently
Honestly, I was a bit taken a back by the questions. Microsoft Learn didn’t really help that much on estimating how hard the exam was gonna be. I barely studied for the thing and went into it without any background in Intune or Entra ID.
The content I used to study for this:
- Udemy John Christopher: MD-102 lectures
- Microsoft Learn: Mostly the practice exam, and I would use their after-exam Learn feature.
- Udemy Joel Palmer practice exams: They were pretty good for simulating exam questions. It’s not the same as the actual exam, but it helped me understand Intune and Entra management in more depth. Barely used it though. I did a practice exam for A, B, C, and D, the mastery exams, then did a mock exam on A, B, C, and mastery.
Total learning time was around 40 hours over about 5 weeks. Edit: now I think about it like 30 hours
The exam itself was a bit hard. The access to Microsoft Learn did help a lot with niche questions and deeper configuration and management questions. You can guesstimate some of the questions too, like Autopilot always being the answer unless told otherwise, such as offline provisioning. A good understanding of the core fundamentals can get you through a lot of questions by process of elimination.
Also, if you know coding, you can kind of think, “Where would they put this?” and somehow that worked for me lol.
Honestly genuinely shocked I passed maybe it was luck or something but good luck to others taking the exam. Another thing I did it online and that possibly made it a lot more stressful with all the rules with onVue.
