Passed 1Z0-829

[Enrico Giurin]

On March 15th I finally passed 1Z0-829.
It took me several months to prepare it, it's by far the most difficult exam I have ever had.
I passed with  76%,  which is not a great score, but I consider myself luck, as I was afraid to fail at the moment I pressed submit.

here my badge.

Congratulations What is wrong with 65%? That sounds a good score.

Congratulations, Enrico! Don't worry about the score. 76% is way above passing. It is great for such a tough exam.

Nah, 65% is below passing. No good

Congratulations, Enrico!

How would you compare difficulty of this exam to AZ-204? Thank you.

It might have been a better score if I had hit the right keys

it took me several months to prepare az-204, mainly because in that exam they use .NET as programming language, and my knowledge  oft this language is limited.
I regret having taken az-204, az-104 is much more useful.
With that having said, I would say the OCP 17 exam is a way more difficult, and it's hard to pass it if you use an older Java version at work.
I created my github project and I wrote a lot of code.
Each time I failed a to answer a question from the mock tests or the tutorial, I wrote  some code to test the related scenario.

Thank you, Enrico. Your insights are helpful and appreciated. I saw that you took Azure exams from your github.
