## My Experience:
 The exam was pretty good, easy I should say, There’s no need to feel pressured/ tense. You need to know what all Security focused services not only are offered in Azure but also Microsoft 365.f you go through all the reading material the exam will be a piece of cake for you, For this exam you only need to know the basic terminologies of Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Endpoint, Microsoft Security, Azure Sentinel and Azure AD Domain Services for hybrid and on-premise and that’s all the exam. 
 
Best of luck!
