PL-100-Specific Tips

  • Focus heavily on canvas app design patterns—the dominance of Canvas Apps in the topic list suggests this is the core competency being tested
  • Build 3-4 hands-on projects in Power Apps and Power Automate using free developer licenses; hands-on experience is essential for the practical questions
  • Master Dataverse relationships and data modeling fundamentals—this underpins both Model-driven apps and Power Automate workflows
  • Practice Power Automate cloud flows (automated, instant, scheduled) with real use cases; workflow automation is a major exam focus
  • Study AI Builder capabilities in context—how to incorporate AI into canvas/model-driven apps, not as an isolated topic
  • Review Power BI integration with Power Apps—dashboards and reports embedded in solutions appear in the Analyze and Visualize domain
  • Practice publishing solutions as managed packages; solution deployment and lifecycle management are critical for real-world readiness
