Stop Overcomplicating AZ-900 – Flashcards Are All You Really Need

AZ-900 is supposed to be the fundamentals exam… but once you open the Microsoft docs, it suddenly feels like a full-time job.

Instead of trying to read everything, the smartest way to pass AZ-900 is to turn key concepts into flashcards and drill them with spaced repetition. That’s exactly where Flashrecall makes life way easier.

You can turn Azure notes, screenshots, PDFs, and even YouTube videos into flashcards in seconds, then let the app handle the review schedule for you.

Let’s walk through how to actually use AZ-900 flashcards the right way so you remember the core concepts and don’t blank on exam day.

What You Actually Need To Know For AZ-900 (So Your Flashcards Don’t Suck)

Before making flashcards, you need to know what to capture.

AZ-900 is heavy on concepts and definitions, not deep hands-on stuff. Your flashcards should focus on:

  • Core Azure concepts
  • What is cloud computing?
  • IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS
  • Public vs private vs hybrid cloud
  • Azure services & categories
  • Compute (VMs, App Service, Functions, AKS)
  • Storage (Blob, Disk, File, Queue)
  • Networking (VNet, VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, Load Balancer)
  • Databases (Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, MySQL)
  • Security, identity, and governance
  • Azure AD / Entra ID basics
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Azure Policy, Blueprints, Resource Locks
  • Pricing, SLA, and support
  • Regions vs Availability Zones
  • SLA percentages
  • CAPEX vs OPEX
  • Cost management tools

If something sounds like a definition, a comparison, or a “what is / why use / when to use” type concept → it belongs on a flashcard.

Why Flashcards Work So Well For AZ-900

The exam is packed with similar-sounding services. It’s super easy to mix up:

  • Azure Load Balancer vs Application Gateway
  • Azure Policy vs Azure Blueprints
  • Availability Sets vs Availability Zones

Flashcards force active recall: instead of rereading notes, you’re trying to pull the answer from memory. That’s exactly how you train your brain to remember under exam pressure.

Flashrecall bakes this in:

  • Every card is answered from memory (not multiple choice).
  • You rate how easy or hard it was.
  • The app automatically schedules when you’ll see that card again using spaced repetition.

So instead of cramming, you’ll see the right AZ-900 concepts at the right time—just before you’d normally forget them.

Using Flashrecall For AZ-900: Step-By-Step

1. Start With One Exam Objective At A Time

Don’t try to cover the whole syllabus in one go. Pick one area, like:

> “Describe core Azure architectural components”

Then create a deck in Flashrecall like: “AZ-900 – Core Concepts”.

You can create as many decks as you want, for example:

  • AZ-900 – Core Azure Concepts
  • AZ-900 – Compute & Networking
  • AZ-900 – Storage & Databases
  • AZ-900 – Security, Identity, Governance
  • AZ-900 – Pricing, SLA, and Support

This makes review sessions shorter and more focused.

2. Turn Docs, Slides, And Videos Into Flashcards Instantly

The painful way: typing every card manually.

The better way: let Flashrecall do the heavy lifting for you.

With Flashrecall, you can create AZ-900 flashcards from:

  • PDFs – Upload an AZ-900 study guide or notes PDF, and instantly generate cards from key sections.
  • YouTube links – Watching an AZ-900 crash course? Paste the video link and turn the content into flashcards.
  • Text – Copy-paste from Microsoft Learn pages or your notes, and turn them into cards.
  • Images & screenshots – Snip diagrams or slides (like regions vs availability zones) and generate cards from them.
  • Audio – Record yourself summarizing a topic and convert it into flashcards.
  • Or just type them manually if you like full control.

All of this happens inside the app on your iPhone or iPad:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/flashrecall-study-flashcards/id6746757085

So instead of spending hours building a deck, you’re reviewing in minutes.

3. Make High-Quality AZ-900 Flashcards (With Examples)

Bad flashcards are vague and wordy. Good flashcards are:

  • Short
  • Clear
  • Focused on one idea per card

Here are some examples you can literally steal.

You can quickly add cards like these in Flashrecall, or auto-generate them from your notes and then tweak.

Let Spaced Repetition Do The Heavy Lifting

Flashrecall automatically keeps track and reminds you of the cards you don't remember well so you remember faster. Like this :

Most people do this:

1. Study a topic once

2. Feel confident

3. Forget 70% in a week

Spaced repetition fixes that by showing you cards at increasing intervals, just before you forget.

Flashrecall has built-in spaced repetition and study reminders, so you don’t have to think about scheduling:

  • Mark a card as “Easy”, you’ll see it less often.
  • Mark it “Hard”, it’ll come back sooner.
  • The app reminds you when it’s time to review, so you stay consistent without guilt or planning.

This is perfect for AZ-900 because you can spread your learning over a few weeks with short daily sessions instead of last-minute panic.

Use “Chat With Your Flashcards” When You’re Confused

Sometimes a card isn’t enough. You remember the definition, but you don’t really get it.

Flashrecall has a super handy feature: you can chat with your flashcards.

Example:

You see a card:

> “What is Azure Policy?”

You answer it, but you’re still fuzzy on how it’s different from RBAC. You can open a chat and ask something like:

> “Explain Azure Policy vs RBAC with a simple example.”

The app will break it down in simple terms, using the context of what you’re studying. It’s like having a tutor built into your flashcards.

Study Flow: How To Use AZ-900 Flashcards Day-To-Day

Here’s a simple routine you can follow:

Day 1–3: Build + Learn Core Concepts

  • Use Microsoft Learn or a video course.
  • As you go, feed content into Flashrecall (PDFs, text, screenshots, or YouTube links).
  • Aim for 30–50 solid flashcards on core concepts.

Day 4–10: Short Daily Review Sessions

  • 15–25 minutes a day using Flashrecall.
  • Let the app’s spaced repetition tell you what to review.
  • Add new cards only when needed (don’t overwhelm yourself).

Last Week Before Exam:

  • Focus on cards you keep marking as Hard.
  • Use chat to clarify anything still confusing.
  • Do quick “mock exam” style sessions: randomize all your decks and see what still trips you up.

Because Flashrecall works offline, you can squeeze in reviews anywhere—on the train, at lunch, whatever.

Why Use Flashrecall Over Random AZ-900 Decks Online?

You’ll find pre-made AZ-900 decks out there, but they come with problems:

  • Outdated content when Microsoft updates the exam
  • Too broad or too detailed for your level
  • Cards that don’t match how you think and remember

With Flashrecall, you:

  • Build decks that match your own understanding
  • Instantly generate cards from the exact content you’re using
  • Edit, delete, or improve cards as you learn more
  • Keep everything in one clean, modern, fast app on your iPhone or iPad

And it’s free to start, so you can try it without committing:
