Official weighting per domain. Start for free, no sign-up.
Identity and security administrators familiar with Azure, Microsoft 365 and Active Directory Domain Services, who apply Zero Trust principles and are comfortable with PowerShell and KQL.
SC-300 is best prepared from identity scenarios: who needs access, to which resource, under which conditions, and how it is governed through its whole lifecycle. Study the official outline and validate each block with real configuration in Microsoft Entra.
Questions by domain help you separate authentication, Conditional Access, workload identities and governance. Mock exams then force you to connect those areas and choose controls that keep things secure without blocking operations.
You need to understand users and groups, roles, authentication methods, Conditional Access, Identity Protection, enterprise applications, app registrations, managed identities, entitlement management and access reviews.
Least privilege runs through the whole exam. Practice reducing standing access, requiring the right signals and automating joiner, mover and leaver processes. You must also distinguish between authentication, authorization and governance.
With daily Microsoft Entra experience, five or six weeks may be enough. If identity is new to you, extend to eight or ten and spend time in a lab tenant. Split your study between documentation, configuration and practice questions.
In the final stretch, review the scenarios that confuse roles, API permissions and policies. Take full mock exams, analyze every error and check the official source before memorizing names or behaviors that may change.

It is intermediate and requires applied understanding of identity. It is easier if you already administer Microsoft Entra and Conditional Access.
With experience, five or six weeks may be enough. If you are starting in identity, reserve eight to ten and include practice in a tenant.
Yes. CertifyDeck lets you start for free so you can practice and assess your level without entering a card.
Microsoft Entra is the core, but the exam also covers governance, applications, workload identities and the access lifecycle.
Yes. Identity and access underpin Microsoft 365, although MS-102 covers broader tenant administration.
Microsoft sets the price per country. USD 165 list price (varies by country; confirm on Pearson VUE when booking). CertifyDeck does not sell the exam, only the preparation: you can start for free and full access is a one-off fee per certification.
Microsoft does not publish an exact number; its exams usually have between 40 and 60 questions and SC-300 gives you 100 minutes. Our timed mock exam mirrors that length and the official domain weights.
You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000. The scale does not map to a fixed percentage of correct answers, so aim for consistent results above 80% on unseen mock exams before booking.
Yes. Microsoft offers SC-300 in Spanish as well as English. On CertifyDeck every question, option and explanation is available in both languages, keeping the official English terminology.
It is a good free starting point, but it is short and repeats the same items. A practice test with hundreds of original Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator questions, timed mock exams and practice by domain tells you where you fail and whether you keep the level under time pressure.
No. Dumps are leaked exam questions: using them breaks Microsoft's exam agreement and can void your certification. Our questions are original, written from the official skills outline, and train you to reason through new scenarios instead of memorizing answers.
