MS-900 exam training tips

How can you prepare for the exam?

  • Find a course on Learning Platform that specializes in the MS-900 exam. In addition to gaining valuable skills and knowledge, the Microsoft 365 Fundamentals training course will provide foundational knowledge that can give you an advantage when pursuing additional Microsoft Certifications. The course also offers a study guide to augment your learning.
  • Practice tests are a great way to ensure that you know the material. If you are already taking short quizzes, I recommend adding a full-length practice test to your training material. This will help you get a feel for the number of questions on the real exam and how long it takes you to complete it. 
  • Don’t try to memorize questions, but rather understand the concepts behind the questions. This is very important, as the questions you see on the MS-900 exam will test your comprehension of the material and will not look exactly like any practice test you have taken.
  • Invest in hands-on training. Hands-on training is a great way to reinforce the material you have learned. The great thing about Microsoft is that they offer a free 30-day trial of Microsoft 365 that allows you to configure and test everything you have learned. 

The more you prepare, the better you’ll do.
