r/O365Certification

Someone told me that he know someone can control my computer and make me pass the exam is that possible ?

hey there,

I work in a helpdesk environment and would like to advance in my IT career.

Started already the MS102, I know it will be retired but I just need it on my CV. I would like focus afterwards on the SC300 exam.

My question is if this makes sense and if I can still get the badge after or if once the exam is gone that won’t be possible once I get the SC300.

Any advice?

Thanks everyone

I’m 20, I currently work at an MSP as a tier 1 tech. Only cert I hold currently is A+ and i’m currently studying for Network+, I got a free voucher for any microsoft cert through the AI skills fest and I wanted to know what cert do you guys think I should go for? I have to schedule it by today as it expires and the latest I can schedule it for is Oct 18th of this year.

Hello everyone, currently studying for the MD-102 , and was wondering what are the best updated practice exams for the exam, I’m currently busy with labs for most of the week and plan to the practice exams next week , I’ve seen a couple of exams on Udemy but I’ve haven’t used Udemy for any courses so far so I’m a bit hesitant, please and thank you 🙏

Hi guys, I am more of a visual learner, can anyone recommend me a good course on udemy? I have heard about John Christopher's course but have seen mixed reviews hence why I am hesitant to buy it.

So our college made it mandatory for us to take an AZ 900 exam, but I only get a 50 per cent discount from Vurtal Days or student email.
I have used Azure Infra for a long time, but this exam thing sicks me. I don't have money to spend on this exam, so I was looking for any kind of coupons for the 100 waiver (I heard pretty much from this subreddit).
Also, it's August 2026; there is no event from Microsoft that will give a free voucher

I passed with a 753. I studied on MeasureUp until I got around an 85 using certificate mode. After that, I primarily used Microsoft Learn practice exams till i was testing around 80. However, the contents of the practice exam and the exam changed to what I was studying. Also, MeasureUp is similar in style to the exam questions, but it's about two years out of date. I also did a course on Udemy with labs, a LinkedIn course, and the labs provided by Microsoft using a trial M365 business account!

However, using Microsoft Learn, I was able to bridge the gap. I studied for around 3-4 months actively throughout work hours!

Hi everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for a while called Descomplicando Cloud.

🔗 https://lmnpaiva.com.br/descomplicando-cloud

The idea is pretty simple: whenever I study for and pass a certification, I try to organize what I've learned into study guides, notes, quizzes, diagrams, and other resources that might help someone else preparing for the same exam.

And everything is available for free. 😊

Most of the content is focused on Microsoft certifications and comes from my own study journey. Instead of keeping all those notes sitting on my computer after passing an exam, I thought it would be much more useful to turn them into something the community could actually use.

A small disclaimer: I'm originally a Portuguese speaker, so some materials are still available only in Portuguese. I'm gradually translating more of them into English.

Also, many of those translations were created with the help of AI. Because of that, there may absolutely be translation mistakes, strange wording, or technical terms that could be improved.

And that's actually one of the reasons I'm sharing the site here.

If you find something that is incorrect, confusing, poorly translated, outdated, or simply think "this could be explained much better", please tell me! Feedback and corrections are very welcome, and I'll use them to keep improving the material.

If any of the resources help you with your studies, I'd also really appreciate it if you could share Descomplicando Cloud with other people preparing for Microsoft certifications. ☁️

The goal is simply to make good study material more accessible to the community.

And if you've already used any of my materials, I'd love to hear what you thought about them. ❤️

Good luck with your studies and exams! 🚀

First attempt: July 22, 2026 - 683. Failed by 17 points, lol. I rebooked the exam the same day for a retake three weeks later.

Second attempt: August 13, 2026 - 723. Passed, but honestly, the second attempt was way harder than the first.

The exam had 5 questions on a case study, with the rest being a mix of selecting answers, drag-and-drop, and Copilot-related questions.

The second attempt felt like a reverse psychological approach compared to the first. It started very difficult and gradually became easier toward the end, while I was also running out of time.

My advice: know your stuff. Know everything. Don’t rely on memorizing practice assessment answers because the actual exam can approach the concepts very differently.

I also know the exam was recently updated around July 24, 2026, which may have contributed to the difficulty difference between my attempts.

What I used to prepare
Microsoft Learn
Microsoft practice assessments — consistently
John Christopher’s MD-102 course on Udemy
Hands-on Intune labs using the Microsoft 365 1-month free trial
Reviewing questions I got wrong and understanding why the answer was correct instead of memorizing it

My background is in endpoint/IT engineering, so I already had hands-on experience with:
Intune
MECM/SCCM
Entra ID
Microsoft 365
PowerShell
Windows deployment
Endpoint management
That practical experience definitely helped.

If you’re preparing for MD-102, don’t underestimate it. Understand the concepts, get hands-on experience, and don’t depend solely on practice questions.
Good luck to everyone preparing.

Hi all,

Just looking for some advice. I recently passed MD-102 and was planning to study MS-102 next.
However, I’ve seen some information suggesting that MS-102 may be retired in October, so I’m wondering whether it’s still worth pursuing.
Would I be better off doing SC-300 or AZ-104 next instead?

I’m currently working in desktop/endpoint support and would like to move towards a more senior M365 / Modern Workplace / Cloud role.
Any advice on which certification would provide the best progression after MD-102 would be appreciated.

I passed he sc-300 today.

The exam was tough and my head was spinning at the end. It challenged me on areas I don’t work with daily like access reviews and entitilement

I’m starting the sc-100 but the exam recently changed Can anyone recommend resources for the latest objectives ?

I thought for sure I failed but managed to pass and get a score of 773.

By far the hardest exam to pass. I applied the same strategy on my MS-102 exam, go through the questions first, mark as review, then scavenge MS Learn to get correct answers on the ones I had doubts on.

I used copilot to help create a reviewer for me, also asked it to simplify concepts for me - like retention label vs sensitivity label. Never used Microsoft practice exam since some redditors mentioned it wasn't worth it. I reviewed using https://skillupwithlevelup.com/ as well.

Very happy I got through that certification. On to the next one 🚀

Hi everyone,

I've already completed several projects with Microsoft Purview, including security, compliance, and governance, and a bit of DSPM.

The thing is, I saw that there's an SC-401 certification. The company I work for is encouraging me to take this exam because clients require that anyone working on MS Purview projects be certified. I'd like to know what study methods you used for this exam, besides MS Learn.

Thanks!

I studied for this for around four weeks and worked through every Microsoft Learn section, applying what I learnt in my test tenant.

The main resources I used were:

• Microsoft Learn
• A dedicated ChatGPT project that I loaded with relevant information and instructions. It became my go-to tool for practice questions, explanations and identifying weaker areas.

I’m very proud to have passed it. 🙂

I’m taking my Microsoft exam this Sunday and hoping to use my ultrawide monitor so I can split the screen with MS Learn.

Has anyone else used an ultrawide for theirs?

Did the OnVUE software work fine with it, or did you run into any issues with it??
