Took the exam yesterday and passed with score of 795 so happy enough with that. Some the newer streaming elements were not my strongest, but pretty comfortable with a lot of the other data engineering concepts. Monitoring another area that I found I was not totally confident in. Pyspark and Kusto key function understanding is useful to know.

Just wanted to wish everyone here a fantastic 2025 - let's make it a great year 😀💪 Do you have any goals for the year? Share them below for some accountability! 👇

I thought it would useful to pass on my experience of passing my DP600, at the 2nd attempt, but not because I failed the first. I am reasonably experienced in taking the Microsoft exams, indeed I am certified in Power BI. I did the exam via the online proctor experience and all was going well, when I thought I would look at Microsoft Learn, just to double check something. When I closed the Learn tab my laptop screen went white but the proctor was able to start from point I was up. It then happened again but the proctor cancelled the exam and raised a case with PearsonVue, but never told me he was going to. Obviously, I was a bit frustrated but the next day I received another code to book again. So I took it yesterday and passed, but this time when I opened Microsoft Learn I never shut it, but just moved it over to the side of the screen. I found a few posts on Microsoft support about similar issues, and saying be wary on using it. To be honest, I'd prefer it without Microsoft Learn myself, but I thought I'd share the technical problems I encountered. Time was fine for me, but I imagine if you dip in and out of Learn it will get tight. I had 58 questions and about 9-10 on case study. I think I checked learn twice, mainly on Spark based stuff.
