As requested by some, the below topics are well-known for some tricky exam questions - based on feedback from previous exam takers - so I would suggest to carefully review the following topics:
- Differences between Azure Support Plans.
- Differences between: Azure Advisor, Azure Cost Management, Azure BluePrints and Azure Policies.
- Azure CLI and Azure Power-shell compatibility with Web browsers and Operating Systems.
- The objectives of the Azure Tagging feature.
- Differences between the capabilities of each Azure Active Directory offering.
