Next steps – DP-300

Congratulations for completing this DP-300 “Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions” course.

What’s the next step for you? Here are some resources which can help you in your future learning journey.

Save 15% on your Practice Tests or Assessments

What is a good way to prepare for the DP-300 exam? Why not redo all of the quizzes and the Practice Tests in this course.

After that, then please have a look at the official Microsoft Practice Test and assessment. However, how can you get a better price?

  • The below links will take you to the relevant MeasureUp.com page,
  • Adjust any options on the page as needed and click on “Add to Cart”,
  • In the Cart, enter the following into the “Apply Coupon Code” – idodata15 – and click Apply.

If you do this, then you should then see a 15% discount to your Practice Test and assessment.

Please note that the links on this page are affiliate links, meaning that MeasureUp.com will pay me a small commission if you buy a product. However, not only should this not affect the price you pay, if you use the Coupon Code “idodata15“, it should be even better than the standard prices.

This discount can also be used when there is a sale on MeasureUp. If (for example) there is a 30% reduction on a Practice Test or assessment, then you can get a further discount by using this coupon code.

What do I use? As I do 3 or more Practice Tests a year, I subscribe to the Annual Subscription Plan. Once you have subscribed, you will access for all of MeasureUp’s practice tests from Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, AWS, Python Institute, ITS, ISC2, Ethical Hacker and PMI.

Don’t forget to use your coupon code idodata15, as this works with annual subscription plans as well.

Not going to take 3 practice tests over the next 12 months? Then just take the one Practice Test or assessment. But what is the difference between them?

The MeasureUp.com DP-300 Practice Test is around US$100 (full price – it may be on sale). It has 160 questions, and gives you detailed explanations for your answers. This enables you to get used to the style of questions asked and improve on your answers.

We recommend the Practice Test if you are going to do just this one exam. You can do the Practice Test as many times you want for 30 days (for an additional cost, you can extend it to 60 or 365 days, or you can download it onto your computer). If you get 90% or higher twice in Certification mode, MeasureUp will also reward you with a digital badge, which you can post on social media on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.

The DP-300 Assessment is around US$20 (it may be on sale). This is good if you want a small sample of the questions so that you can say “yes, I’m ready”. However, it only includes 30 questions, you can only use it once (or twice, if you pay extra). It also doesn’t include any explanations or references.

Don’t forget to use your coupon code idodata15 after you have clicked “Add to Cart” to save 15%.

Microsoft’s resources

If you would a book about the DP-300, then please have a look at Microsoft’s DP-300 Administering Microsoft Azure SQL Solutions. It is available in both Paperback and Kindle. Please note – as a printed book, it may not reflect the latest version of the DP-300 exam.

You can also look at the official Microsoft Learning Path. There are 6 Learning Paths with 3-5 modules per Path, which each contain 5-15 web pages. Please note: these Learning Paths may not reflect the latest version of the DP-300 exam.

The exam requirements and how to schedule the exam

To see the exam requirements, please go to the Resources section in our course, where you can download a copy. Alternatively, go to Microsoft’s DP-300 Study Guide. Microsoft checks the requirements every couple of months, to ensure that they are up-to-date.

To schedule the exam, please go to the Microsoft DP-300 exam page and click on “Schedule exam”. You can then schedule the exam with Pearson Vue, either in person at a test center, or online. If you are doing your test on line, then you will need a webcam, an internet connection, a private, distraction-free place, and a government-issued ID.

Udemy Certificate of Completion

If you have watched all of the videos, then you should shortly be able to download your Udemy certificate of completion.
