UPDATE, 2nd Apr: Sorry folks, the DP-800 is not a real thing (at least yet!). Just an April fools joke, enjoy your days 😀 #microsoftfabric #dp800 #april1st

I'll probably end up doing both, but I've decided I fancy DP-700 first. When I joined here I was reading about how the study was gamified(?), I was wondering if I'm studying DP-700 from scratch where do I start with that? I'll be covering the Fabric Foundation classes first of course, but then where does the gamified part start, and how do I know what order to do the dojo tutorials in? I know there are foundational tutorials but are the done in a certain order? I've just got some bench time at work so making the most of it to finally get my study off the start line and get stuck in. I have already completed the welcome pack even though it still says 0% :). I am travelling abroad in a few months so I have this real target of passing before I leave. Thank you all in advance of any pointers.

🎉I’m excited to share that I’ve passed the DP-600 exam! 🚀 Big thanks to @Will Needham and this amazing community—your insights and resources were invaluable! 💡 Tips for DP-600 prep: ✅ Hands-on Practice - especially on Deployment pipelines (Dev → Test → Prod) while experimenting with Fabric item names, schedule refreshes and T-SQL practice. ✅ Will’s Videos – That summarizes and simplifies the Fabric architecture and how it works. ✅ Microsoft Learn Portal – Invest time in navigating the documentation structure; searching with key terms often provides direct answers in summaries. Looking forward to achieve further career milestones and continuously learn and make the most of this community! 🙌. All the Best!😄

I am happy to share I passed the DP-600 exam on my second attempt, scoring 700/1000—just at the passing mark! It was a challenging experience, and one key lesson I learned is that having mock exam questions alone won't help if you don't understand the underlying principles. That’s where Will Needham’s course made a huge difference for me. His content was a game-changer, providing the in-depth understanding needed to tackle the exam successfully.

I have exposure to Data Factory, Power BI (did the exam a few years ago) and SQL Server (SQL Server the most), I'm looking to get my exam study going soon, but I was wondering if the more Fabric experienced of you could hint as to whether I'd initially be better off going through some tutorials first to make the study easier to digest, or would going straight to the exam lessons would make the tutorials clearer to understand?
