Preparation tips
- Follow the free Microsoft Learn path end to end — it maps exactly to the four skills-measured domains.
- Learn the vocabulary precisely: authentication vs authorisation, Zero Trust, shared responsibility.
- Use the official practice assessment and keep sitting it until you clear 700 with margin.
