700 SC-500 practice test questions with explanations that teach the control, plus per-domain analytics and Exam Coach AI. 40 free. 70% to pass.
700 practice questions for SC-500, the exam that replaces AZ-500 and adds securing AI workloads. Every explanation teaches the control that decided the question, not just the answer. 40 free questions across all four domains.SC-500 is the exam behind Microsoft Certified: Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate, and it is the successor to AZ-500, which Microsoft withdraws on 31 August 2026. There is no conversion path between the two credentials. The objectives were published on 26 April 2026 and this bank is built against that revision, question by question, from Microsoft's own documentation. It carries 700 questions across all four measured areas, weighted to match the published percentages, with 40 free to try before you buy.
The wrong preparation for SC-500 is memorizing what each service does. The exam rarely asks that. It puts two controls in front of you that both sounds correct and asks which one meets the requirement in the scenario - a service endpoint or a private endpoint, a governance rule or an exemption, an agent identity or a user account. Getting that right depends on knowing what each control does not cover, which is exactly the knowledge a feature list cannot give you. The questions in this bank are written in that shape, and the wrong answers are the ones a well-prepared candidate would genuinely consider.
Every explanation in this bank explains the control, then names the boundary where the other choice would have been right. None of them restates the winning option, and that is not a promise made loosely.
55 questions put a command, a query or a configuration fragment in front of you and ask what it does or why it fails - a KQL query against the secure score, a data collection rule that filters the wrong facility, a PowerShell command that returns a confidently wrong value because it was run in the wrong session. Another 43 are multiple responses, where partial credit applies. These are the two formats’ candidates report being least ready for, so they are here in proportion rather than as a novelty. There are no case studies to read here and nothing to trace line by line; the fragments are short and the question is always what the configuration does, not what it was intended to do.
An assistant sits beside the exam while you take it. Ask it what a control is, how two things that keep mixed up differ, or when you would choose one over the other, and it explains the concept - during the sitting, without leaving the question. It knows this exam specifically, so a question about a private endpoint gets an answer aimed at what SC-500 tests rather than a general definition, and asking the same thing twice gets you the same explanation rather than a different one each time. What it will not do is tell you which option to pick. That restraint is deliberate: the explanation you need on exam day is the one you worked out yourself, and an assistant that hands over answers trains the wrong habit. It also declines to guess - if something falls outside this exam it says so plainly rather than inventing an answer that sounds right.
If you were preparing for AZ-500 and ran out of runway, this is where that preparation goes. The Azure security engineering content largely carries over - identity, key management, network controls, Defender for Cloud, Sentinel - and the audience profile still assumes practical Azure administration experience, which is why our AZ-104 practice exam remains the right foundation underneath this one. What is genuinely new is the AI half: agent identities, guardrails on model deployments, AI gateways, prompt-injection defenses and the data security posture around AI applications. If you sat AZ-500 recently, that is the material to concentrate on, and it is the third of the compute domain that did not exist in the exam you were studying for.
60 questions are drawn per sitting from the pool of 700, weighted across the four areas in the same proportions Microsoft publishes: 24 % identity and governance, 27 % storage, databases and networking, 25 % compute, 24 % posture and monitoring. The pass mark is 70 % of the questions you are asked, counted as a straight percentage of our own questions - there is no scaled score to translate and no hidden weighting between areas. Results break down by domain, so a sitting tells you which area to go back to rather than only whether you passed, and because the pool is more than eleven times the length of a sitting you can take it repeatedly without working from memory. Multiple-response questions carry partial credit, so a partly correct answer is scored as partly correct rather than as a miss.
SC-500 practice test 40 questions are free, spread across all four domains in proportion - ten from identity and governance, eleven from storage and networking, ten from compute, nine from posture and monitoring. They are ordinary questions from the bank with the full explanation attached, not a sampler written separately, so what you see is what the other 660 are like. The spread is deliberate: a free set drawn from one area would tell you nothing about whether the areas you weakest in are covered well, which is the only question a preview can usefully answer.
