Revision Notes
Microsoft Dynamics 365 
Hey, ta for all the work in this blog
I’ve gone through the DLP course many times on my commute to work and have been a real life office 365 and Crm admin for the last 2 years. I’m more than happy with the course content.
Do you feel that this should be enough prep for the exam or am I missing something fundamental?

Hi Lee
Firstly thanks for reading my blog.
I do think anyone preparing for the MB2-710 exam shouldn’t completely depend on information in my posts or on DLP.
Hands-on experience is also really important.
But if you have done CRM certifications before and you have a couple of years experience I would expect you to not struggle.
It is really hard for me to comment if you are ready! I can say that the exam isn’t easy so you do need to prepare. But I personally didn’t find the exam as hard as other Microsoft certifications. (Having said that I’m not sure how much you can judge from that!)
In my opinion, read as many blogs as you can and watch the DLP videos. Then make sure you have hands-on experience of each subject covered.
If you do all of that …. you should be fine. Good luck.
Let me know how you get on.
Neil.
