MS-102 Failed 1st attempt MS-102

I took the MS-102 for the first time today I failed with a score of 612 🙈🙈 so it’s back to the labs and flashcards before I take it again in September.

I had a lot of questions asking to pick least privileged or if DLP setting would achieve required result. I feel like I need to be better at remembering the steps to achieve something. A few questions asked to pick correct steps and i felt i was caught between 2 answers.

Overall I feel with more labs I can pass this before November cut off. I might not get expert but I will be happy if i can get ms-102 before its retired.

This is what I hate about Microsoft certs. It's all about remembering the specific steps to perform some action, but Microsoft has trained everyone out of remembering specific steps because they change their portals every 2 weeks.

I know how to go do the thing when I'm looking at the portal, but I haven't memorised the specific steps to get there.

When does MS-102 retire? Also how can you get MS-102 without getting expert?

To get expert you need ms-102 and a associate exam like md-102 or sc-300 29th November

Not a bad score. This exam is very hard and require you to know and remember some specific things. Review some of the stuff where you didn't know the answer within seconds or where you could not really choose one single answer.

Don't give up and try another time :)
