My learning and tips to prepare for the exam. If you are a beginner and haven\u2019t worked on azure ever before, I would strongly recommend writing <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learn\/certifications\/exams\/dp-900\">DP-900<\/a> prior to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learn\/certifications\/exams\/dp-203\">DP-203<\/a>. Although it\u2019s not mandatory to write DP-900, I heard it\u2019s a bit easy and provides a good understanding of Azure and data engineering topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Schedule an Exam:\n<ol>\n<li>Go through the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learn\/certifications\/exams\/dp-203\">skills measured<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Try to assess your current knowledge and you don\u2019t have to be exact in assessing yourself.<\/li>\n<li>Based on your current knowledge and keeping some time for preparation, schedule an exam for a date that sounds reasonable.\n<ol>\n<li>I would suggest preparing for somewhere between 2 to 30 days. Too little preparation might not give you a fair knowledge of the topics, and too much might throw you off track. I prepared for only three days because I have extensive experience with many of the evaluated topics. You need to adjust the preparation time based on your current knowledge.<\/li>\n<li>Choose an exam time during which you feel most active and energetic. I prefer the morning time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Learning Plan\n<ol>\n<li>Go through the <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/resources\/data-engineer-learning-journey\/\">material<\/a> provided by Microsoft.<\/li>\n<li>These videos cover almost all the topics required to prepare for the certification.<\/li>\n<li>Make notes of important points for quick revision.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to read more about any of the topics, please.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>The day before the exam\n<ol>\n<li>Go through your notes and revise the topics in case they are needed.<\/li>\n<li>Do not try to cram things. The exam is scenario-based and its intention is to test your understanding of the subject.<\/li>\n<li>Rest is best before the test, so take a sound sleep and do not cut on your sleep at any cost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>TIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep calm<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Expect the unexpected, so keep calm. I was confident before the exam but during the exam, I got many questions on the topic that I hadn\u2019t covered in detail. So, I answered them based on what made sense to me.<\/li>\n<li>In the end, I thought that I would get no more than 700 marks, but I got 843. So, don\u2019t panic even if you think the exam is tough. Just try your best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I wish you all the very best for your exam and I am pretty sure, if I can do it, you can do it with flying colors!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently completed my DP 203 certification.
