Dear Will and all Fabric enthusiasts,
I was able to clear DP 700 today by a whisker π
. I got very close to clearing DP600 in last week of Dec but fell short of just 25 points. But I guess that experience got me to achieve DP700 today βοΈ.
I went through the Microsoft Learn curated content and solved labs for the ingesting data section only (first of the 5 learning paths) since last week using dataflow, data pipeline and Real time data ingestion. I was running out of time and then listened to the first few and the last few sections from Will's 6-hour course just 24 hours before the exam. Skipped the Real time sections since I had done the RTI event stream and event house labs. The monitoring and optimization sections from Will's 6-hour video were really helpful. The strategy to reserve 30 minutes for case study really helped me utilize my time well during the exam (I was short of time during dp600!). I didn't have any time left in the end and I also had to rush with the case study. I had made up my mind to not refer the MS Learn content during exam. No point wasting time.
Had it not been for the Will's playlist, I couldn't have finished the necessary knowledge acquisition just in time, and confident enough to appear for the exam and probably clear it as well today (without doing the DP700 practice test available even once π). So, thanks much Will for the perfect playlist! You are blessed with a tone of voice that doesn't get boring. Of course, I have also led data teams earlier to deliver some projects with ADF and Databricks with Data vault and SCD type 2 and the data foundations from this experience helped as well.
I would suggest others to go through Will's playlist; Read through Microsoft Learn content (5 learning paths) and work on the practical labs with the fabric free trial, do the free practice tests from Microsoft and you should be good enough to clear the Exam. Reviewing latest YouTube clips with some question banks will help as well.
There are some questions where you will be able to recollect the right answer easily if you have experience of performing those activities in Fabric. So, use the Fabric free trial well.
Wishing you all good luck and good times.
