Author note:
Hi there, I was sitting Azure exams 'forever' now and preparing for each new one is getting easier and easier. I believe looking at curriculum of the exam is the best place to start, and I used to develop a checklist on what topics I have reviewed already and what still needs work. I am sharing my approach to cover study material here.
I wish you all the best on your road to reaching DP-203 certification!
