The SC-400 exam, officially titled Microsoft Information Protection Administrator, is the Microsoft exam you pass to earn the Microsoft Information Protection Administrator certification, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900), Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300), Microsoft Information Security Administrator (SC-401).

The SC-400 exam includes 40-60 questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the PrepAwayTest desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the SC-400 exam is 700 (out of 1000), and the official registration fee is $165 USD (may vary by region). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $165 USD (may vary by region) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on PrepAwayTest practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
