AZ-104 PRACTICE TEST w/ Labs | Microsoft Azure Administrator

<<The course is updated as per the skills measured on Oct 26, 2023>>

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY MY AZ-104 AZURE ADMINISTRATOR MOCK TEST?

a. 160 deeply researched exam questions for AZ 104. I create no more than one question/day to maintain high quality.

b. No simple one-liner questions. Each question is based on your understanding of a scenario. The questions challenge you to understand, apply, and analyze your knowledge.

c. This course comes with both clear and lucid video and text explanations. The text explanations come with product illustrations for easy understanding. You can also go through the video explanations for a more seamless demo.

d. For each question I provide an ARM template/PS Commands to simulate the environment used in the question.

e. For each question I provide a summarized version of the answer (suitable for revisions) and a detailed answer (for in-depth learning).

f. I simulate the actual AZ104 Azure Administrator exam experience for you in the form of drag-and-drop questions, dropdown questions, multiple yes/no questions with a radio button, repeated scenario questions, etc.

g. No dumping of text in a ppt. PPTs are used only to demo architecture to enhance your understanding.

h. Explanations run parallel to the product. Every detailed explanation has corroborating evidence with the Microsoft product (like Microsoft Azure) shown in screenshots and clear callouts.

i. Explanations are NOT directly copied from Microsoft documentation. I have rephrased all the reasoning in a simple and easy-to-understand language.

j. No step-motherly treatment of incorrect answer choices. I took enough effort to explain the rationale for each answer choice (whether correct/wrong), including the reference links.

k. Don't worry about inaccurate sentence framing/wrong grammar/incorrect punctuation. I use Grammarly to review every question.

l. Almost non-existent repetition of questions only to increase the question count.

m. I love to help you succeed. If you need to discuss, we have an Active Q&A dashboard and expect fast responses (save for my sleeping hours, which are generally less).

n. As soon as there is an update from Microsoft, I try to update my course, keeping it always fresh.

o. The question bank is peer-reviewed every three months to ensure exam relevance.

The questions are collected from a variety of domains and sub-domains with extra care taken to equal attention to each exam area. Also, the questions are on different levels.

For example:

1. Remember-level questions test whether you can recall memorized facts, & basic concepts.

2. Understand-level questions validate whether you can explain the meanings of terms, & concepts.

3. Application-level questions test whether you can perform tasks using facts, concepts, & techniques, and,

4. Analysis-level questions validate whether you can diagnose situations & solve problems with concepts & techniques.

A mixture of questions at different levels reinforces your knowledge and prepares you to ace the exam.
