**1. Understand the Exam Domains**  
The exam is divided into several domains, each with specific skills that will be tested:
  * **AI Fundamentals (15-20%)**  
    Learn about what AI is, its different types, and the key components like machine learning and natural language processing.
  * **Azure AI Services (30-35%)**  
    Focus on Cognitive Services, machine learning, and conversational AI tools such as LUIS and Azure Bot Service.
  * **Azure Machine Learning (20-25%)**  
    Be familiar with the Azure ML Studio, AutoML, and model deployment processes.
  * **Responsible AI (15-20%)**  
    Know Microsoft’s principles of Responsible AI and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.

**2. Use Microsoft Learn**  
  * Microsoft Learn provides a free, structured learning path for the AI-900. Make sure to go through all the modules, as the exam is closely tied to this material.
  * The learning paths cover both theoretical knowledge and practical applications within the Azure platform, which is key for passing the exam.

**3. Hands-On Practice**  
  * Use the **Azure free tier** or trial account to get hands-on experience with the tools. Try building models, using Cognitive Services, and deploying simple AI solutions.
  * Practice using **Azure ML Studio**, **LUIS**, and the **Azure Bot Service** to become comfortable with the interfaces and processes.

**4. Take Practice Tests**  
  * Practice tests are a great way to simulate the exam environment. They help you assess your understanding of the topics and improve your test-taking strategy.
  * Review your answers to practice questions and focus on areas where you scored poorly. This will guide your study efforts.
