Microsoft Cloud Skills Challenge

I wouldn't say any of these exams are easy - all of them have a lottttttttttt of content that you need to know.

it was hard.
I passed with 797
They were a lot easier in the 1990s

I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't paid for a load of ripped off questions though. I was surprised to find that the Udemy test questions were direct copies of a lot of the content.

MS 500 is a very good one for IDAM. But it's quite large. I have the test this week so fingers crossed.

I was wondering how people had already completed the entire set of required reading and then realised they probably just sat there hitting next and not reading anything at all.

I might have a stab at the identity and access management one

I am also thinking of doing it. Might come handy considering the big scene those IAM guys put in meetings
