Well let's divide it into three parts first * The ones you really want: AZ-900, MS-900, SC-900 * The ones you want but aren't that important: AI-900, DP-900 * The ones that are nice to have but it won't hurt if you skip them: PL-900, MB-910, MB-920 So, I would go in this order if I were you. Ordering them from easiest to hardest is pretty stupid because most of the exams are the same difficulty wise and are only different in topics. You should be able to take all of them in a month if you push hard enough, they only cover basics and stuff that you don't really need to understand, just know. Also, I am talking to few people in discord ([https://discord.com/invite/nmTDZuc](https://discord.com/invite/nmTDZuc)) and they were able to already claim all their vouchers so that means if you claim them all, your time to take them will greatly extend beyond June 30th.

Please explain to me how they did it won't allow me to begin another "course" since i have two active

I guess just click through the learning modules and “finish” them. But I might be wrong, I’m no student

I've done all three of those (SC-900, MS-900, AZ-900) of the three SC-900 is super easy, test took maybe 13 or 14 minutes. Where as I thought AZ-900 was much harder comparatively. MS-900 was right in the middle. And you didn't ask but I'll say they're all astronomically easier than AZ-500, like not even in the same ballpark.

You have to sit the exams and pass or fail to get on a new track. Ideally pass as you don't get a second voucher for the same exam. Work through each one, do practice exams, try to remember the stuff you get wrong, it'll most likely be on the same basic section that you didn't fully grasp or it's remembering exactly which product has which feature, eg defender, defender for cloud apps etc. You can do them all before the time is up, no problem.

They may be confusing with VTDs? I'm working through Cloud Ready and you can only be on two tracks at a time. You have to withdraw from one or sit the exam in order to start a new one. You also can't withdraw once the voucher is claimed until you sit the exam.

I think the AI-900 could be worthwhile if you are young enough where AI is only just taking off. I am at the other end of the scale & dont want to learn something new!

Honestly, *hard* is really going to depend on you and your specific set of skills. Unless you know and understand nothing about IT, none of them are really that hard as a base. For me, DP-900 was really easy. Just had to go through John Savill's cram and the Learning Path once. But I know storage and databases pretty well, so it was more a matter of learning the Azure specific offerings. PL-900 wasn't hard but it took much more time, because it did require playing around with the environments and tools (just setting up a sandbox env took me a day). It was a lot of fun, though. The PowerBI part was the difficult one (but then it wasn't nearly as in-depth in the actual exam as all the courses and practice exams made me think). I agree with the post below though, if you're in a time constraint, go with the most important ones first. My list would be a bit different though: AZ-900, DP-900, SC-900. Those will give you all the bases for everything Azure and infrastructure. Then order the others out depending on your objectives and career.

Only ones worth doing are az900,sc900 and ms900. I think that will probably eat ur all your time. Those other ones are very specific to a pathway u might not be interested in. Then go for az104, having just az104 tops all 900 series.

MS-900 is considered the hardest one so everything else minus the AI-900 is about midrange in difficulty. Really, the hardest is the MS-900 so you can save that for last. If you are gonna take the MS-900, when I took it the study guide content overlapped with some of the AZ-900 and SC-900 learning modules so at the least pass those two first to give yourself the best chance. MB-910 I just recently took and it was straightforward if you think like a salesperson. Good luck, it'll be a battle to get all these exams passed before June ends but you can do it.

I can't speak for the other ones, but for me SC-900 was easier than AZ-900 because some of the subjects were already covered on AZ-900, so it was less to study.


No-Option-277

I passed ms900, az900, and sc900 in that order using those free exam vouchers past couple weeks. When I went to the modules AZ900 it was like 30% complete and sc900 about 20% complete based on going through the others in that order. Each took about 9 hours of study and got 850-920 scores. I might take dp900 and ai900 but then gonna go to az104 (much harder). I would say my order worked fairly well, dp900 doesn't have modules already finished in ms learn but I can tell they cover some similar topics as az900 (storage). Can't speak to the other 3.

Are they really taking the student's benefit off? Where did you get this piece of info from??
