    4. DRemembering the last device used, so that the user is not asked to sign in again on that device
    Show answer and explanation

How to prepare for MS-900

  1. Read the official Microsoft outline first (exam page), so you know exactly what is in scope.
  2. Give the most time to Security, Compliance, Privacy and Trust and Microsoft 365 Apps and Services: together they make up 81% of the questions.
  3. Take the free 30-question practice test and note which topics you miss.
  4. Go back to the weak topics, then test again. A practice score shows where to study; it does not predict your exam result.
