MB-700

The source page carries a warning that the exam was retired on June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time, and advises completing the exam before the retirement date for it to apply toward your certification. The same page also lists a retirement date of none, so the page is internally inconsistent. Confirm status on the official exam page before booking.

The published passing score is 700. Microsoft's exam pages link to a separate explanation of how exam scores work, and scaled scores are not simply a percentage of questions answered correctly. Do not convert 700 into a percentage target; instead aim to be strong across all four measured skill areas, especially define solution strategies, which carries the largest weight.

Start with define solution strategies, since it is weighted 40–45% and underpins the other areas. Then cover architect solutions (20–25%), followed by manage implementations (15–20%) and manage testing (10–15%). Because the role is about how decisions affect the whole solution, study the strategy material before drilling into implementation and testing mechanics.

The exam is intended for Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management, and Commerce professionals who advise stakeholders and translate business requirements into secure, scalable, and reliable solutions. Expect to need knowledge of the Dynamics 365 ecosystem and Microsoft Power Platform, a deep understanding of finance and operations apps including Copilot and AI agents, and extensive domain knowledge in one or more industry verticals.

The source lists English and Japanese. The English version was updated on October 9, 2025, and any localized version is updated approximately eight weeks after that date, although Microsoft states localized versions may sometimes not follow that schedule. If you plan to test in Japanese, verify the current localized version against the study guide before scheduling.

The page states the exam measures your ability to architect solutions, define solution strategies, manage implementations, and manage testing. It is a role-based architect exam, so expect scenario-driven decisions about solution design, stakeholder requirements, and trade-offs rather than isolated feature recall. The detailed skills measured are published in the study guide linked from the exam page.

Use the study guide linked from the exam page to see the skills measured and any upcoming changes, then work through the self-paced and instructor-led training resources listed there. Supplement that with hands-on design practice: take business requirements and produce secure, scalable solution designs across finance and operations apps, Power Platform, and Copilot and AI agents.

Under-preparing for the heaviest domain is the classic mistake. Define solution strategies is 40–45% of the exam, yet candidates often over-study configuration and testing details because those feel concrete. Another common gap is ignoring the stated prerequisites: Power Platform knowledge, Copilot and AI agents in finance and operations apps, and industry-vertical depth are all explicitly expected.

The source does not state a fee, duration, question count, or format. It says pricing is based on the country or region in which the exam is proctored, excludes applicable taxes, and is subject to change, and it advises confirming exact pricing with the exam provider before registering. Check the official exam page for current scheduling details.

It is part of the requirements for Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365: Finance and Operations Apps Solution Architect Expert. The page lists no related exams. If you complete the exam before its retirement date, it applies toward the certification; after retirement, refer to the related certification for current exam requirements.
