MS-102 course round-up
2 ways to prepare for the Microsoft 365 Administrator (MS-102) exam if MeasureUp is not giving you what you need — ranked by what each one is genuinely good at.
The right MeasureUp alternative for MS-102 depends on what you are missing. Edureify is the strongest choice if you want a diagnostic, an adaptive plan and a predicted ready-by date rather than another library of lessons. Udemy is the closest like-for-like swap.
Exam MS-102 — Microsoft 365 Administrator (MS-102) Options reviewed 2 MeasureUp $99.00 (as low as $64.35) Edureify $49–$599 Updated 3 November 2026
MeasureUp's Microsoft Practice Test MS-102: Microsoft 365 Administrator has 123 questions with explanations, last updated in November 2025. Certification Mode gives a timed, exam-like run and Practice Mode lets you drill specific objectives, which suits candidates sitting MS-102 before its November 30, 2026 retirement who want a final rehearsal from a long-standing Microsoft Partner.
MeasureUp reports scores by objective and also sells separate Assessment products, but we found no adaptive plan or predicted readiness date. Its Pass Guarantee refunds the test price after two failed exam attempts within 90 days; with MS-102 retiring, both attempts would have to happen before November 30.
Edureify's Diagnostic quickly measures you on Defender XDR threat management, tenant administration and Entra identity and access. The roadmap concentrates the remaining MS-102 time on your weakest areas, and the Readiness Score shows whether a ready-by date before retirement is realistic.

| Predictive Readiness Score | Varies | Included |
| Adaptive daily roadmap | Not included | Included |

Best for: Keep as a reference
Udemy's MS-102: Microsoft 365 Administrator course covers tenant setup, Entra identity, Defender XDR and Purview in self-paced video, often on sale from $12.99, with lifetime access and an instructor Q&A board. Because the course stays in your library, it remains useful as a Microsoft 365 admin reference after the MS-102 exam retires on November 30, 2026.

Take the MS-102 readiness testEvery option here is judged on the same question: how much of the work of getting exam-ready does it do for you, and how much is left to you?
Edureify is the strongest alternative for candidates who want to know where they stand, because it runs a diagnostic first and keeps a live readiness score with a predicted ready-by date. If your priority is the lowest possible price rather than readiness tracking, the other options on this page may suit you better.
Across the options compared here, MeasureUp is typically $99.00 (as low as $64.35) and Edureify is $49–$599. Prices move with promotions and bundle contents, so check each provider before buying.
Yes. Most candidates who switch start with a diagnostic on the new platform so their remaining study time is spent on actual gaps rather than repeating material they have already covered.
Only if you can fail and retake MS-102 within 90 days of purchase and before November 30, 2026, which is a tight window. Read MeasureUp's terms, including the 90%-in-Certification-Mode reference, before counting on it.
MeasureUp gives an immediate MS-102 rehearsal if you're near ready. Edureify gives a diagnostic and targeted plan if you're unsure where your gaps are.
Swapping one library of MS-102 lessons for another rarely changes the outcome. What changes it is knowing which domain is actually holding you back, and how long it will take to close that gap.
Start with a diagnostic, then decide what to buy. A 20-minute baseline test will tell you more about your MS-102 readiness than another month of watching lectures.
