Great initiative. Yeah, it makes sense to refer to MS learn docs for fact kind of questions. I totally agree with Vlad about powershell command parameters etc. Memorizing aspect can be avoided in the study plan.

What a great interview with Liberty! 🥳

I need to learn more about this and share it with my students! Thanks!

@MrAloha 10 месяцев назад

Aloha, Vlad! Let's do a livestream together. Be my guest and talk about this great new change. We can livestream into your channel at the same time. I like your style. What do you think?

I am waiting on this new Learn access to be included in the AZ-204 Exam. Online says mid sept, but does anyone know exact date when I should schedule my AZ-204? I have already reached out to @Liberty Munson but got no response.

@VladTalksTech 9 месяцев назад

There won't be a confirmation that it's included or not from anyone - it should be by now, but there's not guarantee and you shouldn't depend on it to pass the certification!

@jeffreyvanderhorst4079 10 месяцев назад

Cool! 😁

@GemaMV 9 месяцев назад

Do you if in PL100 will it be included? Just to know... as it is not a fundamental exam but neither and advanced exam. Thanks for your answer

@VladTalksTech 9 месяцев назад

PL-100 will be included! Everything that's not a -900 will be included :)

@nawarmatti7699 10 месяцев назад

be interesting to see..def nice if it can pull up role defintions

I agree - I haven't taken an exam with this ressource yet - but I hope the search engine will be strong!

@IrlymMylros 10 месяцев назад

How about removing the certification exam price!! 😊😊 Excellent interview, thanks

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

I don't think Microsoft will do that, mostly because they still need to cover some expenses for exam development and to pay Pearson Vue for the exam proctoring.

@dotnetdevni 10 месяцев назад

Just curious I presume that they monitor your in house network traffic as well?

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

Why would they? They only monitor the device you take your exam on.

yea

When is this feature going to be available? I booked an exam for next week…

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

This resource will be available in all role-based and specialty exams in all languages by mid-September.

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

So unless your exam was part of the pilot (what exam is it?) chances are it will not be available

@a120068020 10 месяцев назад

I'm not yet convinced. I slogged to get those certifications, having material to hand certainly lowers the bar for new entrants.

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

That was one of my first thoughts as well - but at the same time, the fact that it gets closer to "Real life" where you know the direction, but might not remember the exact PowerShell parameter .. but you know where to look. I like that no time is added, so again, just feels closer to evaluating what you would do in a real scenario!

@RodStewart_Geek 10 месяцев назад

I would agree. MSFT exams lack the technical depth to require an open-book approach. This approach makes much more sense with the Linux Foundation certs where true technical knowledge is being tested.

@YMALDOR 10 месяцев назад

I'm slogging too, but the real question is, does the open book solves the useful part of the "slog" or the useless one ? The goal of certification is to confirm understanding of concepts and application of concept. For MS certification there's always that understanding part but there's also a part where you have to know by heart specific details. The openbook part is going to solve the part for which you have to know certain things by heart, but it's not going to impact the understanding part. No one is going to go to a certification and try to learn and understand concept on the fly through microsoft learn. It makes certifications easier, yes, but not in a bad way I think.

@Steamrick 7 месяцев назад

The time isn't nearly enough to thoroughly look up all of the questions. If you don't know the answer to (let's say) half of the question off the top of your head, you're not gonna pass, even with the ability to search MS Learn.

@brenleymiddleway6555 10 месяцев назад

Is this feature available for all exams except fundamental exams?

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

Yes :)

@gunhild1951 5 месяцев назад

Is open-book exams only available for people that want to renew their certifications?

@VladTalksTech 5 месяцев назад

Open-Book exams are available for any role based certification. So anything that does not end with -900!

I have soft file book that I bought from amazon to learn my exam, can I open it when exam ?

@jsivonenVR 10 месяцев назад

So no access with Fundamentals exams, but beyond those?

@VladTalksTech 10 месяцев назад

Correct, every exam except the Fundamentals!

@devjyotichatterjee2755 10 месяцев назад

The certifications demonstrate knowledge, they do not guarantee practical skills or real-world problem-solving abilities. Employers may still require candidates to prove their abilities through practical assessments or interviews. Some individuals may prepare for certification exams by memorizing specific answers or "brain dumping" information without truly understanding the concepts. This can lead to candidates who hold certifications but lack a deep understanding of the subject matter. Not all employers or industries place significant value on Microsoft certifications. Some may prioritize other qualifications or factors, such as experience. I have most employers giving little value to this certificates and much more to the fact that have you worked on any project on this Tool etc.

@VladTalksTech 9 месяцев назад

Certifications will never replace pure experience - but over what you said, they also prove employers that you are a continious learner!
