Where do I find exam questions to practice?

Access the free course material on Microsoft Learn. Then, use our AB-100 Exam Practice Test, which includes original questions we developed to help you memorise and retain the course content.

Avoid exam dumps: doing so can invalidate your score, revoke certifications you already hold, and bar you from future exams.

You can also find instructor-led training from Microsoft Training Services Partners. Current listings for this three-day course are about £2,180 in the UK at TD SYNNEX Academy and $1,895–$2,695 in the US at Keelix Training and Learning Brick. Prices vary by provider and format.

Does the exam include official labs I can use to practice?

The AB-100 exam does not include hands-on lab exercises. The self-paced AB-100T00 course on Microsoft Learn may include lab-based learning activities.

If you purchase Instructor-led training, Microsoft Training Partners usually provide access to official labs for about 90 days. Always checks the labs are from Microsoft Partners like Skillable.

Depending on the exam, you could get a trial licence which could include demo data you can use to practice, but that is not always guaranteed and Microsoft often changes policies about free trials with demo data. If you prefer hand-on learning using labs, contact a Microsoft Training Services Partner for Instructor-led training
