Get exam-ready for PL-900 (Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals) on iPhone or iPad. Azure Mastery uses on-device AI to predict your readiness score, build a personalised study plan, and surface topics you're forgetting — all without sending a single byte off your device.
The exam
PL-900 is the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Fundamentals credential — the entry-level exam for anyone building low-code business solutions with Microsoft Power Platform. It's pitched at candidates who want to understand how Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and Dataverse fit together to automate processes and ship apps without deep coding. Common audiences include business analysts, citizen developers and "makers", IT pros evaluating low-code, and anyone starting a Power Platform journey.
The exam doesn't ask you to build a production app from scratch. It expects you to recognise scenarios: when to use a canvas vs model-driven app; cloud vs desktop flows in Power Automate; what Dataverse offers over a traditional database; how Copilot Studio agents use topics, knowledge sources, and channels; and the business value of connectors and generative AI across Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Azure.
Microsoft updated the PL-900 skills outline on 24 July 2026 — Power Pages was removed and a new Copilot Studio agents domain was added. Every question in Azure Mastery's PL-900 bank is mapped to the current outline — no leftover questions on retired topics. Read the official outline at learn.microsoft.com.
Skills measured · July 2026
Five domains, with weights set by Microsoft's 24 July 2026 update. Every domain summary below is paraphrased from the official skills outline; the bullet-level objectives in Azure Mastery are tagged so you always know which domain you're being tested on.
The lightest domain, but the framing for everything else. The value of Power Apps (build apps), Power Automate (automate processes), Dataverse (organise business data), and connectors (integrate services); the value of generative AI features across the platform; and how Copilot Studio creates agents. Around 2–6 questions per sitting.
Dataverse — how it differs from a traditional database, tables/columns/relationships, forms and views, business logic including Power Fx, and using AI to create tables. Plus administration and governance: environments, the security model, data privacy and accessibility, monitoring and analytics, and application lifecycle management (ALM) with Power Platform pipelines. Around 8–15 questions.
Use cases for canvas apps, model-driven apps, the Plan designer, and code apps; and building basic apps — including using AI and the "vibe" experience to generate canvas and model-driven apps. Expect "which app type for this scenario?" questions. Around 8–15 questions.
Cloud vs desktop flows and their use cases — approvals, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, Forms, and document automation; connector triggers and actions; and building or modifying flows with AI. Around 8–15 questions.
The newest domain (added July 2026). Building agents — conversation paths via topics, knowledge sources, tools including MCP servers and agent flows, and publishing via channels; and managing agents — Microsoft Agent 365, monitoring adoption, and agent evaluations. Around 8–15 questions.
Designed for PL-900
Azure Mastery ships with 351 PL-900 practice questions, every one written specifically against the current (July 2026) skills outline — not generic Power Platform trivia. Each question carries a domain tag mapped to the official five domains (business value, manage the environment, Power Apps, Power Automate, Copilot Studio agents), so you always know which area you're being tested on and where your weak spots are clustered.
The on-device Exam IQ engine predicts your PL-900 score before you sit the exam. After roughly 30 questions it has enough signal to give a confidence-scored prediction (e.g. "786 ±37, 68% confidence") — and tells you the specific topics that are dragging your readiness down. No vague "study more" advice; just a ranked list of objectives where improvement would move your score the furthest.
The adaptive study plan rebuilds itself from your answer history. Get something wrong on canvas vs model-driven apps? You'll see another Power Apps question in the next session. Master "cloud vs desktop flows" three sessions running and the engine backs off, surfacing fresh Dataverse or Copilot Studio agent scenarios. The plan optimises for the gap between where you are and the 700 pass score, not for blind volume.
Knowledge decay tracking is the secret weapon for foundational exams like PL-900. The same domain you mastered six weeks ago is the domain you'll forget by exam day if you stop revising. Azure Mastery tracks every topic's decay curve and flags topics approaching expiry — the padlock icon on the Today screen is your "revisit before you forget" cue.
Real exam simulation mode runs at PL-900's actual length and time pressure: a randomised question set drawn from the full 351-question bank, 45-minute timer, no jumping back to flag-and-review. It's the closest you can get to the test centre experience without sitting the exam.
Everything runs on-device. Your answer history, your readiness gauge, your decay alerts — none of it leaves your iPhone or iPad. No account required to start, no tracking, no sync server. Privacy-first by design.
2-week revision plan
Most candidates with prior IT experience pass PL-900 after one to two weeks of focused revision. Below is a two-week plan that maps onto Azure Mastery's domains, simulator, and decay alerts. Adjust pace to taste — the readiness gauge tells you when you're done, not the calendar.
Inside the app
PL-900's question bank uses the same formats Microsoft puts on the live exam — not just multiple choice. Each visualisation below is a faithful mock of how the type renders inside Azure Mastery on iPhone and iPad. Exam-simulator mode runs all of them at full 45-minute length with no flag-and-review jumps, mirroring Pearson VUE.
One correct answer from four to six options. The most common type on every Azure exam — practical recall of services, settings, and limits.
~50% of questionsPick two or more correct answers from a list. Microsoft tells you exactly how many to choose. Partial credit not awarded — you need every selection right.
All-or-nothingArrange items into the correct sequence — deployment steps, the order operations occur in a pipeline, troubleshooting flows. Long-press to drag on touch.
Order mattersTap the correct area of an image — the right setting in a portal screenshot, the right resource in a topology diagram. Practical visual recall under time pressure.
Tap targetA multi-paragraph scenario followed by 4–6 linked questions. Lighter on a fundamentals exam like PL-900, but Azure Mastery includes them so nothing on test day is unfamiliar; dominant on AZ-305 and AZ-400.
Multi-questionAn Azure Mastery exclusive. When you answer incorrectly, an on-device Apple Foundation Model writes a targeted explanation grounded in the correct rationale. Never leaves your device.

The PL-900 voucher is USD $99 in the United States. Pricing varies by region — in the UK it's typically around £77. Microsoft sometimes runs free-voucher promotions for events such as Microsoft Build or Microsoft Ignite, so check your Microsoft Learn profile for any active offers before booking.
No. Microsoft Fundamentals certifications — including AZ-900, PL-900, AI-900, MS-900, and DP-900 — do not expire. Once you pass, the certification is yours for life. (This is different from Associate and Expert certifications such as PL-300 or AZ-104, which require an annual free renewal assessment on Microsoft Learn.)
The first retake is allowed after 24 hours. Second and third retakes each require a 14-day wait. Microsoft caps retakes at five attempts per 12-month rolling period. Each attempt requires a new voucher purchase.
Most candidates with prior IT or business-apps experience pass after one to two weeks of focused revision. If Power Platform is genuinely new to you, plan for three to four weeks. Azure Mastery's readiness gauge will tell you when you're at exam-ready — don't book until it shows roughly 720 or higher predicted score with reasonable confidence.
PL-900 first if low-code Power Platform is new to you. PL-900 teaches the platform vocabulary (Power Apps vs Power Automate, what Dataverse is, cloud vs desktop flows, Copilot Studio agents) without expecting you to build production solutions. PL-300 is the role-based Power BI Data Analyst Associate exam — it expects hands-on Power Query, DAX modelling, and report design. Most candidates pass PL-900 in a week or two, then spend two to three months on PL-300.
Yes — Microsoft positions PL-900 squarely for both technical and non-technical candidates. Business analysts, "citizen developers" and makers, project managers, and IT pros evaluating low-code all sit PL-900. The exam doesn't ask you to write production code. It asks you to recognise scenarios — "canvas or model-driven app for this case?" or "cloud or desktop flow?" — and pick the correct option. It's the natural first step before building real apps and flows.
Where PL-900 fits
PL-900 is the foundational entry point for Microsoft's Power Platform and low-code tracks. It's optional but strongly recommended — Microsoft markets it as preparation for the role-based Power Platform certifications, even though it's not a formal prerequisite. If your interest is general Azure infrastructure instead, look at AZ-900 (Azure Fundamentals).
