PortfolioDive editorial guide · Review official vendor requirements before scheduling an exam or purchasing any training.
Start with the official exam objectives
Read Microsoft’s current SC-900 skills measured page. Exam content changes, so verify the latest objectives before setting your study calendar.
Use a simple learning routine
Spend your first week on security concepts, your second on Microsoft Entra and identity topics, and your third on security, compliance and governance offerings. Adjust for your experience.
Practice and review
Use official Microsoft Learn modules and practice assessments where available. Explain concepts aloud and build short notes on topics you miss.
Plan the exam properly
Check prices, language options, accommodations and testing availability directly with Microsoft. Completing free training does not mean the certification exam is free.
