PL-600

No. Microsoft states that this exam was retired on June 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time, and the related certification and renewal assessments were retired on the same date. After that date the exam cannot be scheduled, so this page serves as a study and reference resource rather than a live registration path.

The published passing score is 700. Microsoft reports exam scores on a scaled basis and links to a separate explanation of how scores are calculated. Because the weightings of the three measured task areas differ substantially, a strong result in the largest domain matters most to reaching that threshold.

Microsoft publishes three measured task areas with ranges: perform solution envisioning and requirement analysis at 45–50%, architect a solution at 35–40%, and implement the solution at 15–20%. The envisioning and requirements domain is clearly the largest, so it deserves the most study time if you are using this outline to plan revision.

Yes. Microsoft lists two prerequisites, and you must earn at least one of them: Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Functional Consultant Associate or Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate. Both roles are listed among the job roles associated with this certification, alongside Solution Architect.

The retrieved Microsoft sources do not publish an item count or a duration for PL-600; they list the measured skills, passing score, languages, and pricing model instead. Do not rely on figures quoted by third parties. Since the exam is retired, any timing detail is now of historical interest only.

Microsoft lists English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified). The English version was updated on September 23, 2024, and Microsoft noted that localized versions are typically updated approximately eight weeks later, though that schedule is not guaranteed.

Start with the Power Platform Well-Architected framework, since Microsoft expects candidates to be aware of it and ideally to have used it on a real implementation. Then work through requirement analysis and solution envisioning, move to architecture design decisions across integration, security, licensing, and storage, and finish with implementation and change management.

Microsoft's exam page included a link to a free practice assessment described as a way to test your skills with practice questions. Practice assessments are not the exam and do not share its items, but they help you gauge readiness. With the exam retired, treat any practice material as study support only.

No. Microsoft states that the certification, the related exam, and the renewal assessments were retired on June 30, 2026, and that you can no longer earn or renew this certification after that date. Renewal through the usual free online assessment route is therefore no longer available for this credential.

Check the current Microsoft Learn certifications directory rather than this retired page, because Microsoft directs candidates to the related certification for requirements after a retirement date. This profile does not identify a named successor credential, so verify directly with Microsoft before investing in study time for any replacement exam.
