Answers Every MS-101 Candidate Should Read First
The Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security exam is the official Microsoft test registered under exam code MS-101. Passing it earns you the Microsoft 365 certification, a credential at the Expert level. It is also linked to the related certification: Microsoft 365 Certified: Enterprise Administrator Expert. Microsoft exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security exam includes 40–60 questions to be completed within 180 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the Microsoft 365 Mobility and Security exam you need 700 (scaled), and the official registration fee is $165 USD (approx.). A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full $165 USD (approx.) again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
