Are you an app maker who builds solutions to simplify, automate, and transform tasks and processes for your team where you have deep expertise in the solution domain? Are you skilled in key technical business analyst tasks, such as data modeling, basic UX design, requirements analysis, process analysis, etc.? Do you create and enforce business processes, structures digital collection of information, improves efficiency of repeatable tasks, and automates business processes? Are you use Power Platform to solve business problems? Do you have experience with Visual Basic for Applications, Excel Pivot Tables, Teams and other tools? Do you have a basic understanding of data models, user interface, and processes? If so, I have a great opportunity for you to showcase your skills and be recognized for them… take and pass this beta exam!

 

The new Microsoft Certified: Power Platform App Maker Associate certification has one exam that is currently in beta: PL-100: Microsoft Power Platform App Maker.

 

To receive the 80% discount*, use code PL100KLSrise when prompted for payment.

This is NOT a private access code. You can use this code to register for and take the exam on or before 8/14/2020.

 

*The first 300 people who register can take these exams for an 80% discount! (Why beta exams are no longer free.) The seats are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. You must register for the exam on or before 8/14/2020. Take the exam as soon as possible, so we can leverage your comments, feedback, and exam data in our evaluation of the quality of the questions.

Preparing for Beta Exams

Taking a beta exam is your chance to have a voice in the questions we include on the exam when it goes live. The rescore process starts on the day that exams go live, and final scores are released approximately 10 days later. For updates on when the rescore is complete, follow me on Twitter (@libertymunson). For questions about the timing of beta exam scoring and live exam release, see the Creating high-quality exam: The path from beta to live blog post.

 

Remember, the number of spots is limited, so when they're gone, they're gone. You should also be aware that there are some countries where the beta code will not work (including Turkey, Pakistan, India, and China). You will not be able to take the beta exam in those countries.

 

Also keep in mind that these exams are in beta, which means that you will not be scored immediately. You will receive your final score and passing status after your exam is live.
