I'm registered to take the exam on the 19th, and I was curious if any other fabricators in the community have taken it and what the experience was like. I've passed the DP-600, but I feel more comfortable on the data engineering side, so I hope this exam goes well!

Hey all, I took the DP-700 today and passed! I will write a proper post with my experiences when I get home later today, but I’ll say it’s definitely a thorough test of your skills! Look forward to now switching to thinking about how best to teach the content to all of you! 🙌🏽

I took the DP-700 and I passed. Thank you Will for al the content ! The exam contains a lot of questions about (event)streaming and some SQL and KQL queries. Good luck to you all !

I scored 800 out of 1000. You only need 700 to pass. The test was HARD. There were a few topics I was not expecting and used the process of elimination and flat out guessing to answer. I have 6+ years experience in Power BI, most of which has involved managing a team of developers and most recently included role of architecting solutions in Fabric. Literally, learning on the job as I went. I had taken most of the MS Learn items that were part of the Ignite challenge earlier this summer, as well as a large portion of the learning path associated with this exam. My hands on development experience definitely helped me with the sql, dax, m code, power query, semantic modeling, and other core Power BI questions. The 6.5 hour video on this community really helped me figure out my areas of deficiency that were truly just lack of experience. Optimization was a big topic on the exam. I learned about OPTIMIZE and VACUUM from the video. I discovered I had a HUGE gap in knowledge of managing XMLA endpoints and access that I needed to brush up on. I highly recommend the Learn modules on lakehouses (there are a lot of question about them), endpoints, security, and optimization if you've experience has mostly been in development and not as much about governance or architecture planning. Anyway. I'm thankful to have found the video here because I would not have passed without watching it. I would not have had any idea the left of detail I had to know for the exam in some areas. I hope to stick around and be active in the community. fabric is ever-changing and I'm excited to be connected with people that can learn and grow together.

Hello, I was just wondering how people manage their study time between work and family. Do you study before/after work, maybe you study in the evening til quite late after putting the kids to bed? Do you stay late at work and study after hours before going home? How do you deal with the frustration of not getting in any study for a few days because of life commitments? Do you have an arrangement with your family that study time is study time? I'd be really interested in how any of you shape or organise your busy lives around study time.
