Practice the workflows used to investigate, hunt, and respond across Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and cloud security operations.
Take the free 10-question diagnostic first — a free account, an instant score and domain breakdown, so you know where you stand before you commit.
A full-length, timed sitting of SC-200 practice questions with no feedback until you submit — the closest thing to sitting the real exam.
Microsoft security operations analysts who work with Sentinel, Defender XDR, cloud workloads, incidents, and KQL-driven threat hunting.
CertSprint combines targeted practice, explanations, performance-based tasks, and domain-level readiness so each session tells you what to study next.
Move beyond the 20-question preview into the full exam-focused bank, organized around the skills and scenarios represented by the current blueprint.
See why the right answer fits the evidence and why the distractors fail, so you build judgment instead of memorizing answer patterns.
Practice ordering, matching, investigation, and configuration-style tasks designed to make knowledge usable under exam pressure.
Accuracy is mapped to exam areas, exposing weak domains and turning an exam date into a realistic daily practice target.
The experience is designed around relevant decisions and troubleshooting, not disconnected trivia.
Original English practice examples, with answers and explanations available here. No account required. These are independent teaching examples, not official exam questions or exam dumps.
Question 1 of 3 · Microsoft Sentinel investigations
Best answer: The rule incident-creation and grouping settings
Scheduled analytics can generate alerts while incident creation is disabled or configured differently. Check that part of the rule because query execution and ingestion are already confirmed.
Alert severity and scheduling frequency do not enable incident creation. Reinstalling a connector is not justified when the relevant events already arrive and the rule produces alerts.
Microsoft: scheduled analytics rulesQuestion 2 of 3 · KQL investigation
Best answer: | where TimeGenerated >= ago(1h)
The where operator keeps rows satisfying its predicate. TimeGenerated >= ago(1h) restricts the result to timestamps at or after the one-hour boundary.
project selects columns. take limits the number of rows without expressing that time boundary. count produces a row count rather than the requested filtered events.
Microsoft: KQL where operatorQuestion 3 of 3 · KQL investigation
Best answer: | summarize EventCount = count() by UserPrincipalName
summarize applies the count aggregation within each UserPrincipalName group. The result has a row for each group, with its event count.
project selects a column, take limits rows, and where removes rows failing a predicate. None of those operations alone counts the events per user.

Every week's length is proportional to how many SC-200 practice questions that domain actually has — not a generic template. Track real progress against it from your dashboard.
26% of the full question bank — the single largest block this week.
~18 questions/daySmaller domains grouped together to keep every week substantive.
~24 questions/day22% of the full question bank — the single largest block this week.
~15 questions/day17% of the full question bank — the single largest block this week.
~12 questions/dayMixed practice across every domain, prioritizing whichever ones your readiness tracker shows below 80% accuracy — not a fixed list, but whatever the data says is weakest this week.
Simulate the real exam: one sitting, the real question count and time limit, no pausing. Re-drill any domain that comes in under 80%.

Work through the scenario, identify the evidence that matters, then compare your reasoning with the explanation. Use domain scores to choose your next study session. A practice percentage is a learning signal, not a prediction or an official exam score.
The newest practice set is available in eight languages. Earlier exercises may appear in English. These are original independent practice scenarios, not official exam questions.
The current Microsoft outline has three skill areas: managing the security operations environment, responding to incidents, and threat hunting. Some existing CertSprint practice categories use a more detailed historical grouping.
