I finally passed the 70-765 exam. This finished up the MCSA: SQL 2016 Database Administration certification and also re-earned the MCSE: Data Management and Analytics certification for 2018. I will say that this exam was not easy. The questions themselves are not that bad, but just the sheer amount of topics makes it difficult to study. Here are some suggested links that definitely helped me.
