1. What is the best practice exam question is available.

   DP-100 Azure Practice Tests Prep Exam – looks like this is outdated. Could please guide more about exam question.

   1. Sorry, I am not sure which provider has constantly updated his practice test

      1. When you was preparing which practice test was near to actual exam. Please help

2. Hi Ravi

   Amazing repository of resources required for the exam. So, first of all thank you for that.

   I just wanted to know if the resources provided in this page are enough to clear the DP100 exam, in addition to the ML knowledge beforehand. Will I need to go deeper into each of the topics mentioned in this page?

   Additionally, does the content here reflect the changes that will occur once the new exam starts rolling in.

   1. Hello Shubham, the resources on the page point you in the right direction. I will not say it is enough, it is always better to go deep.
      As the exam objectives change, I will update this page.

3. The information that you have shared is really useful for everyone.

   1. Welcome

4. Hi,

   Can someone who doesn’t have any knowledge about Azure also clear this test if I follow any learning path? I do have knowledge about Machine Learning in Python but I haven’t used Azure.

   1. yes, possible

5. Do we need to write any code in the exam? Where do we get the execution environment?

   1. Code generally are not asked in the exam. If any, you may have to select the right option (that has code in the list of options).
      For now, labs aren’t there I guess.

6. Hi Ravi,

   How much do you have to score to pass DP-100 certification exam?

   1. 700 for all exams

7. Hello, Ravi: Thanks for the study guide. What is your take on the exam? Is Microsoft going to test you on your data science knowledge or Azure features to support ML?

   Also, I believe that the Udemy course you suggested is kind of outdated (2017).

   And what is the link to the “All Azure Certification Courses for 9$”? Do you suggest to enroll in that?

   Best regards,
   Jason

   1. Hello Jason,
      Of course, I would think data science knowledge as a prerequisite, so someone already working as a data scientist is prime for this certification.
      That $9 Monthly subscription does not include content related to dp-100 certification, so if you are looking to get certified in dp-100, I won’t suggest.

   2. Can you please mention how many case studies and how many lab need be completed in the test? The exam pattern is changing frequently and most of the youtube materials are out-dated. Thanks in advance.

      1. I am sorry, exactly no one can be sure of that

8. Hi Ravi

   some one said they got questions on scikit-learn, RNN, DNN, ANN, statistics, brainscript, normalization, sentiment analysis, language translation, model optimization, weka, docker, Azure machine learning studio, Azure machine learning service, devops in machine learning, bandit problem, early stop strategies, evaluation metrics, cross-validation, smote, sequence model, hyperparameter tuning, automated machine learning in Azure, tensorflow, keras, data types (do read this to get some questions right), padas data frame melt(), spark, azure data bricks, notebook, zeppelin notebook on spark, feature selection, sampling, algorithm selection (boosted decision tree, regression etc)and others. could this be true as the objectives says nothing about this.

   1. They may not be directly tested, yeah, but Microsoft expects you to be comfortable with those. See the exam prep video here

9. I am currently training on the dp-100 on the Microsoft learning path. The training does not cover Machine leaning studio or designer (Just Machine learning sdk). I am quite confused because the syllabus says Machine learning studio would be covered but their training states otherwise(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/build-ai-solutions-with-azure-ml-service/). Shouldn’t this Microsoft training just suffice.

   1. Hello Sean,

      I have observed that their learning paths do not cover all the exam objectives. So go by the official exam objectives. Refer to this guide or Microsoft docs for the objectives left out

10. Hi Ravi,

    can we give exam using the replay offer of microsoft where we can attempt twice.

    1. Yes, of course, Deepak, why not

11. i think the sample actual questions circulating online are actually outdated? like the below, i dont see topic like that in the course training i attended lately. please help to verify

    You are developing a hands-on workshop to introduce Docker for Windows to attendees.
    You need to ensure that workshop attendees can install Docker on their devices.
    Which two prerequisite components should attendees install on the devices? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
    Each correct selection is worth one point.
    NOTE:
    A. Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool
    B. Kitematic
    C. BIOS-enabled virtualization
    D. VirtualBox
    E. Windows 10 64-bit Professional

    1. yea, don’t seem to be dp-100

12. Hi,
    Is ML Studio (classic) content still be available in the exam since Microsoft encourage user move to Azure Machine Learning designer?

    1. Mostly on designer. there were only a couple of objectives from studio

13. Hi Ravi, I am currently preparing for the DP-100 certification. I wanted to know if the pluralsite course is more than enough for the preperation?

    1. Pluralsight is very exhaustive. Use them as a reference

       1. Just to be clear, do you mean its only good to reference or that its good enough to learn exclusively from?

          1. I have not checked out each and every course in the path, but at one glace, they do cover most of it.

14. I think it’s not up to date anymore

    1. Thanks for the feedback. I will update as soon as possible

       1. It is updated
