SC-300 Preparation Advice Needed – IAM Engineer with 1.5 Years Entra ID Experience
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to give the SC-300 exam soon and wanted some advice on the preparation approach from people who’ve already cleared it.
My background:
- Currently working as an IAM Engineer
- Around 1.5 years of hands-on experience with Entra ID
- Comfortable with configuring SSO integrations and Conditional Access policies
- Cleared AZ-900 about a year ago
For preparation so far:
- Went through Microsoft Learn modules
- Watched YouTube playlists
- Read some documentation (honestly found parts of it pretty dry 😅)
- Practice quizzes on MS Learn felt relatively easy
But when I tried a mock exam, I felt like I was missing a lot of details outside core Entra concepts and that the questions were broader/deeper than expected.
I was also wondering whether it’s worth buying additional resources like:
- MeasureUp
- Tutorials Dojo
- Udemy courses
or if Microsoft Learn + hands-on experience should be enough with the right revision strategy.
Wanted to ask:
- What areas should I focus on more?
- Are there any must-use resources apart from MS Learn?
- How important are topics outside Entra ID?
- Any tips for handling scenario-based questions?
- Which practice tests are closest to the actual exam?
Would appreciate any guidance, study strategies, or resource recommendations from people who recently passed the exam.
Thanks!
