Passed DP-600 Exam First Attempt!
Hello everyone, I am happy to announce I passed my DP-600 certification on the first try. This exam definitely had me worried after reading countless threads about the difficulty many of the other members had with taking it, as well as various Reddit posts. I am a true Fabric novice, but managed to pass this exam. IT CAN BE DONE! Some tips I would recommend for anyone studying or trying to take the exam: DO THE PL300 FIRST (it makes grasping some of the concepts a little easier in my opinion) Datacamp has some awesome introduction courses on there that you can not only learn with but use the Fabric UI, as well as SQL courses, PySpark, Data Architectures etc. Read through https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/courses/dp-600t00 material. I went through this material about 6 times over, plus using other links provided in the material to documentation online about various Fabric topics. As boring as it is, reading the various forms of documentation is super beneficial and essential to pass. Also, explore more of what Microsoft Learn has to offer in terms of learning paths, just filter for Fabric! The Data Mozart Video that Will posted was very useful. A special mention to Will Needham also who's work can never be truly thanked enough. You are a real hero mate. Most importantly, don't rush the process, Rome wasn't built in a day. The more you rush through the material without taking the time to truly learn it the more stressed out you will become. I work two different jobs so took around 3-4 months to study for this, ensuring I did at least an hour a day. As you revise material you will find a study method that works for you! The structure I went about learning was: Fabric Fundamentals & Concepts Data Stores Data Ingestion Methods Semantic Models Administer and Govern in Fabric Security in Fabric The real question is: Do I now torture myself with the DP-700?!
