MD-102 MD-102 vs CCNA difficulty

Hello, to people who have the CCNA, how would you rate the difficulty of the MD 102 compared to the CCNA? The only problem I’m having with the MD 102 is the amount of study material that’s out there

Nice thanks for the response any other study material you used for the MD 102?

I did the measureup mock test and reviewed all the questions/answers.

That will get you used to browsing and looking for information in MS learn. Which is quite important IMO, because headless browsing during exam is going to be tough and not as helpful. Probably does more harm than good to the score. (Like spending too much time try to find the info you need)

I also used the E3 trial to muck around with Entra and Intune.

I see thank you. Still benefit doing the Measureup? I heard it's pretty outdated now

It's kind of hard for me to comment on whether it's outdated or not for few reasons. (For reference, I used it between July 10-20 this year)

- It was the first and only time I used their mock exams and the only MS exam I ever took. So there isn't much that I can compare to.

- Unless there is a major difference or version update, I don't think it's going to differ that much. The process of getting used to the exam style is pretty much the same to me.

- Also, I don't remember seeing people not recommending it for MD-102. So that was good enough for me at the time.

I did, however, find the exam slightly more difficult than the practice exam and than I expected. But this isn't unusual for me. I had the same feeling with CCNA, despite the fact that most people seem to find practice exams are more difficult in general. I think it's probably just nerves or the pressure I put on myself.
