<<The course is updated as per the skills measured on Jan 23, 2024>>


WHY YOU SHOULD BUY MY SC900 COURSE?

a. 180+ deeply researched questions for SC 900. I create no more than three questions/day to maintain high-quality.

b. I simulate the actual SC900 Microsoft exam experience for you in the form of drag-and-drop questions, dropdown questions, multiple yes/no questions with a radio button, repeated scenario questions, etc.

c. Clear and lucid explanations for both correct & incorrect answers.

d. Supporting visuals created by me to drive better understanding (Not taken from Microsoft documentation)

e. Explanations run parallel to the product. Every detailed explanation has corroborating evidence with the Microsoft product (like Azure or Microsoft 365 security center, etc.) shown in the form of screenshots and clear callouts.

f. Explanations are NOT directly copied from Microsoft documentation. I have rephrased all the reasoning in a simple and easy-to-understand language.

g. No step-motherly treatment of incorrect answer choices. I took enough effort to explain the rationale for each answer choice (whether correct/wrong), including the reference links.

h. Don't worry about inaccurate sentence framing/wrong grammar/incorrect punctuations. I use Grammarly to review every question.

i. Almost non-existent repetition of questions only to increase the question count.

j. For some questions, you may have to search for answers in the given reference link. A Quick Preview feature shows a screenshot of the relevant paragraph to which the correct answer refers.

k. I love to help you succeed. If you need to discuss, we have an Active Q&A dashboard and expect fast responses (save for my sleeping hours, which are generally less).

l. As soon as there is an update from Microsoft, I try to update my course, keeping it always fresh.

m. The question bank is peer-reviewed every three months to ensure exam relevance.

n. Still not convinced? Check out sample questions on my YouTube channel/website before you decide to buy.
