Tips
Microsoft Learn IS the exam — it's the source of truth. Understand the PURPOSE of each tool: Entra (identity), Defender (security), Purview (compliance), Sentinel (SIEM/SOAR). Know both Azure AND Microsoft 365 security services. Read questions slowly — Microsoft loves 'which is the BEST' questions where multiple answers seem right.
