Microsoft
Validates expert-level skill designing and evaluating enterprise cybersecurity strategy across Zero Trust, GRC, security operations, and security posture management -- translating business resiliency requirements into security architectures for identity, infrastructure, applications, data, and AI workloads using Microsoft security technologies. Microsoft gates this exam behind a prerequisite associate certification (AZ-500, SC-200, or SC-300).
450 practice questions available for SC-100 on CertPilot AI, mapped to the domains below.
The SC-100 exam is split into 4 domains. The percentage next to each is the share of the exam it accounts for — study time is best spent proportionally.
101 practice questions in this domain
124 practice questions in this domain
123 practice questions in this domain

Most candidates fail SC-100 not because they didn't know the material, but because they couldn't tell which material they were weakest on. Reading the objectives end to end treats every domain as equally important — the exam doesn't. On SC-100, Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities alone is 27% of your score.
CertPilot AI works the other way around. It tracks your accuracy per domain, weights each domain by its real exam share, and pulls most of each practice session from wherever you're currently weakest. The result is a single readiness score — at 90% you're in the range where candidates typically pass, so you book the exam on evidence instead of a hunch.
Every question comes with an AI explanation of why the right answer is right and why each distractor is wrong. The Exam Decoder goes further and breaks down how to read a question — the qualifiers, the scenario framing, and the trap options — which is the skill that separates a 740 from a 700.
The SC-100 exam has up to 60 questions and you get 100 minutes to complete it.
Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect requires a scaled score of 700. Scaled scoring means the raw number of correct answers is adjusted for the difficulty of the specific question set you were served, so there is no fixed percentage that guarantees a pass.
Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect is divided into 4 domains: Design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities (23%), Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities (27%), Design security solutions for infrastructure (27%), Design security solutions for applications and data (23%). The heaviest weighted domain is Design security operations, identity, and compliance capabilities at 27% of the exam.
CertPilot AI calculates a readiness score by weighting your accuracy in each domain by that domain's share of the real exam, then scaling it by how many questions you've actually answered — so a domain you've barely touched can't inflate the number. At 90% you're in the range where candidates typically pass.
The Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect exam voucher typically costs around $165 USD. Pricing varies by region and vendors periodically adjust it, so confirm on the official vendor site before booking.
Adaptive sessions weighted to the domains above, AI explanations on every question, and a readiness score that tells you when to book.
