A Intensive 5-week study plan for Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) covers roughly 100 hours at ~20 hours per week across the published 5 exam domains. This pace is demanding for AZ-104 — 20+ hours per week is effectively a part-time job on top of your day-to-day work. Best when your exam is locked in and you can clear evenings and weekends.

A 5-week AZ-104 plan walks the 5 domains in syllabus order. Heavier domains get more time; lighter ones may pair with adjacent material on intensive paces. Review and mock phases follow the coverage modules.
Cover Manage Azure identities and governance (20-25%), Implement and manage storage (15-20%) in this week — paired because their individual weights are light or the intensive pace requires combining adjacent syllabus sections. Read each objective, flashcard the key formulas, and run one quiz across the group before moving on.
Cover Deploy and manage Azure compute resources end-to-end. Build flashcards covering every learning objective and quiz yourself before moving to the next module.
Cover Implement and manage virtual networking (15-20%), Monitor and maintain Azure resources (10-15%) in this week — paired because their individual weights are light or the intensive pace requires combining adjacent syllabus sections. Read each objective, flashcard the key formulas, and run one quiz across the group before moving on.
