SC-300 exam and course content are very different
I failed my SC-300 exam with Pearson VUE on July 6th. I prepared myself with the official training course on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/courses/sc-300t00
There's a practice available on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/credentials/certifications/identity-and-access-administrator/?practice-assessment-type=certification where it says that this test will "provide you with an overview of the style, wording, and difficulty of the questions you're likely to experience on the exam"
Therefore, I was confident going into the test with a 96% score on the practice assessments. I did about 4 or 5 runs to be sure I was able to pass different sets of questions.
Once into the exam, I was shocked it didn't include none of the questions of the practice assessment. Furthermore, the question's subjects were very different from the training course. There's a huge discrepancy between the training course / practice assessment and the real exam.
Now I'm trying to find the updated documentation and practice assessment, so I can have a better chance next time. Any help would be much appreciated.
English is not my first language, I apologize for any grammar mistakes.

Hello Hector.
As per my experience (I've passed many Microsoft certification exams), I can tell you that any Microsoft exam require a great experience in the specific area that is the subject of the exam: big and deep knowledge is not enough and the questions that you can find in the assessment will never be similar to the ones that you can find in the real exam.
Bye.
