Everybody appearing for Microsoft Azure certification has their reasons for taking up this certification. However, everyone appearing for the Azure certification exam has one question in common i.e. how should they be preparing for Azure certification? Here are some tips that can help you crack your Azure certification in a better way.

Small but an effective way start

Once you have decided which exam you will be appearing for Azure 103 or 300 you should start your preparations with a small step i.e. taking up one sample test. This will help you in developing an understanding of how Microsoft constructs the exam and you will get a heads up about how good or bad are you with the concepts.

What is being measured?

Once you have taken up a mock/ sample test. Read through the exam content especially the part where it shows what is being measured. Both AZ-103 and AZ-300 has different skills to measure. This will help you identify and understand what part of the course you should be emphasizing and which other portion is just a theory you should have knowledge about for practical implementations.

Develop a practice study schedule

There are many people who work and study simultaneously. Hence, managing time gets difficult for such professionals. So, given your working hours you should figure out when you can study for the exam, will it be early morning or post your working hours once you are back home. In our opinion, you should study in the morning with a fresh mind at least for hours. This way you memorize faster without any stress or hassle if you were to study after work.

Refer to the right and most engaging reference material

You must refer to at least two books while appearing for AZ-103 and AZ-300. In our opinion you should refer to the following books for both these courses:-
AZ-103: Exam Guide AZ-103 by Sjouke Zaal and Exam Guide AZ-103 by Jonathan Tuliani

AZ-300: Exam Guide AZ-300 and Exam Ref AZ-300 Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies

In fact on this Youtube playlist you will find various videos by Microsoft that illustrates various questions. This will help you develop an understanding of the kind of questions that are asked by Microsoft in the exam.

Refer to the Microsoft Docs
For more reference you should also check out Microsoft Azure Documentation. This is one document that has a list of questions that have appeared in the Azure certification exam previously and this gets updated every now and then.

Take up mock tests
Mock tests will help you identify your weak points and make you more and more confident. In fact, it will act as a great tool in your success while you are preparing for Azure certification.
