SC-400 Exam Retake
Good Evening Microsoft Support,
Hope you are well. On Friday I took exam SC-400: Microsoft Information Protection and Compliance Administrator on Pearson Vue online. The test was very different from the Microsoft practice exam. I paid $165 for the exam and felt that I was severely prepared. I would like to retake the exam, but do not think it is fair to have to pay for another exam seeing as it was nothing like the modules or the practice exams. I also would like to know what tools I could use for mastering the Pearson Vue exam better.
Thank you

If you really want to pass the SC-400, you need to hurry—it’s going to be retired soon. You should consider taking the new SC-401 exam: Information Protection and Compliance Administrator Associate. If you're already prepared for the SC-400, then you're almost ready for the SC-401. It’s not that hard—I passed the SC-401 recently, and the questions are very similar to those on the SC-400. There are some new topics, but that’s about it.
Warning: This certification, related exam, and renewal assessments will retire on May 31, 2025. You will no longer be able to earn or renew this certification after this date
