Exam SC-300
SC-300 is the single exam behind Microsoft's Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification — the credential that proves you can run identity, authentication, and access governance with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). It is a scenario-heavy, case-study exam where one wrong Conditional Access or governance decision can sink a whole question, and a passing score is often the gate to an Entra administrator role, a security clearance, or a project milestone with a hard deadline. This page breaks down exactly what SC-300 tests, how it's delivered, and how to get it done right the first time.

How SC-300 is built — at a glance
4
User identities, authentication & access, workload identities, and identity governance — every question maps to one of these four Microsoft Entra areas.
700
Microsoft scores 100–1000 and 700 passes. It is scaled, not a flat percentage, so the number of items you must get right shifts slightly with form difficulty.
1+
Expect at least one case study — a single Entra scenario with several linked questions on roles, Conditional Access, and governance that you cannot revisit once you leave it.
You get about 100 minutes for roughly 40–60 items. Formats include single-answer multiple choice, multiple response, drag-and-drop sequencing, build-list, hot-area, and case studies. Case-study sections are walled off — once you submit and move past one, you can't return to its questions.
There's no negative marking, so answer every item. Your scaled score and a section-by-section bar chart appear on screen the moment you finish. Clear 700 and you immediately hold the Identity and Access Administrator Associate certification; the badge lands in your Microsoft Learn profile shortly after.
Four Microsoft Entra domains — bars show each domain's official weight on the exam
Configure the Entra tenant, built-in and custom roles, administrative units, users and groups, licensing, external and guest collaboration, cross-tenant access, and hybrid identity with Entra Connect Sync, Cloud Sync, PHS, and pass-through authentication.
The heaviest domain: MFA, passwordless and passkeys (FIDO2), SSPR, Windows Hello, Conditional Access policies and controls, continuous access evaluation, Entra ID Protection risk policies, and Global Secure Access.
Managed identities and service principals, enterprise application integration, Application Proxy and SaaS apps, app registrations and API permissions, consent, and app access monitoring with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
Entitlement management with catalogs and access packages, access reviews, Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for roles, Azure resources, and groups, break-glass accounts, plus monitoring with sign-in/audit logs, workbooks, KQL, and Identity Secure Score.
Weights follow Microsoft's SC-300 study guide (skills measured as of 27 April 2026). Authentication and access management is the single largest block, so Conditional Access design and ID Protection risk policies tend to decide pass-or-fail more than any other topic.
Two ways to sit SC-300 — both scheduled through Pearson VUE
You sit the exam in a quiet, monitored room at a Pearson VUE center. Staff verify your government photo ID, store your belongings, and watch the room on camera. You're provided an erasable noteboard. This is the most stable option if your home connection or workspace is unpredictable.
You take the exam from a private room using Pearson VUE's OnVUE software, monitored by a remote proctor. Run the system test in advance, then complete a check-in with photos of your ID and a 360° scan of your room. No scratch paper or physical whiteboard is allowed online — only the on-screen notes tool.
A valid, unexpired government photo ID with a name that matches your Microsoft/Pearson VUE registration. The proctor captures ID and face photos before the exam unlocks.
A clear desk, no second monitor, no phone within reach, no notes, and a webcam scan of the whole room. No one else may enter for the duration of the exam.
Stay in frame and on camera the entire time. There are no scheduled breaks. Talking aloud, leaving the seat, or a dropped connection can pause or void the OnVUE session.
SC-300 targets identity, security, and Microsoft 365 admins
No required exam first — but real Entra fluency is assumed
Difficulty: SC-300 is considered moderately hard for an associate exam. The traps are in the detail — which Conditional Access control fires first, the exact PIM setting, or the right authentication method for a scenario. Case studies punish surface-level reading, and Microsoft renames features often, so memorized facts go stale fast. Most candidates plan several weeks of focused, hands-on prep — exactly the pressure point our help is designed to remove.
