An honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Microsoft Azure and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Implement authentication and access management and Plan and automate identity governance
Together the top two domains are 56% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then take a mock exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then a full timed mock at real length (40-60 questions, 100 minutes). Book the real exam when you’re consistently passing mocks, not before.

What does SC-300 cover?
Deep Microsoft Entra ID administration: user and hybrid identity, authentication methods and Conditional Access, workload identities, and identity governance (entitlement management, access reviews, PIM).
Is SC-300 good for IAM careers?
Yes, it's the flagship Microsoft identity cert, directly relevant to IAM engineer and identity admin roles in Entra-centric shops. Pair it with hands-on Conditional Access and PIM experience.
Should I take AZ-104 or SC-300 first?
They overlap on Entra basics but diverge quickly. If your role is identity-focused, SC-300 first is fine; general Azure admins usually take AZ-104 first.
