I’ve posted a few times recently about my efforts to study for the AZ-204 exam. TL;DR: I passed the exam today!
I’d scheduled it for today, back in May, using a free voucher that expires on June 30. So I had to schedule it before then. I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to be ready for it, so the plan was to take the test today, fail it, and then use the score report to figure out where my strengths and weaknesses were, then come back and take it again in a month or two, after doing some targeted studying.
But I managed to eke out a passing score: 707 (where 700 is passing). So, just barely, but good enough.
These tests always take a lot out of me. I’m not sure why. I’ve always been like this. I used to get physically sick before big tests, back in high school. I managed to figure out how not to do that, or I never would have made it through college. But even, oh… 40 years later, I still get stressed before a big test. These days, of course, I don’t need to take very many tests.
I’m not really sure where I’m going to go next, in terms of learning and certifications. I was really assuming I’d need to keep working on the AZ-204 material for the next couple of months. Maybe I’ll just take a break and watch a lot of TV and read a lot of comics over the summer. Then get serious again in September!
