Office365 74-325 study resources

So I see more and more questions regarding Office365, and therefore I suggest looking on this exam , Administering Office 365 for Small Businesses 74-325 https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-74-325.aspx

I have taken the exam so therefore I wanted to create a study guide to make it easier to study for this exam. First of I suggest looking at the jumpstart on Microsoft Virtual Academy which covers most of the topics. (This requires a MVA account) http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/training-courses/administering-office-365-for-small-business-jump-start

Important to note that this exam is purely multiple choice and remember to read the questions carefully.

Also remember to take note of the different PLANs and the amount of users and what it includes in data storage.

I have also added technet articles under each topic. So this is what the exam covers:
