- Studying only one workload (AB-650 spans identity, admin, monitoring, and AI-enabled services)
- Ignoring governance/security basics (Microsoft 365 administration heavily depends on correct configuration)
- Not checking the latest beta exam outline/weights from the vendor page
- Underestimating time for platform familiarization (portal navigation, scheduling steps, and exam day requirements)
