I passed MB-200 (Power Platform + Dynamics 365 Core) over the weekend! This exam marks a special milestone: it the 10th Microsoft Dynamics 365 examination I passed. Here is how this examination was different than the 9 other exams I passed so far.

The Examination Format is Completely Different

Without breaking the Non-Disclosure Agreement that all Microsoft Test Takers must abide by, there are 3 examination sections that each have its own style. Once you finish one section, you cannot review any question from it.

The Content Covered is a Combination of Many Examinations

Thought MB2-716 (Customization and Configuration) covered too many topics for one examination? You have seen nothing yet. MB-200 (Power Platform + Dynamics 365 Core) covers all the material in MB2-716 (Customization and Configuration), all the material in MB2-715 (Online Deployment), Power Apps, Power BI and Power Automate (formerly known as Flow).

I Had to Take the Examination Online

In the last few weeks, I got many emails from my MS Dynamics Certified students asking me when I am launching the preparatory course for MB-200. Truth is, the course content was already ready for quite sometime.

I had to take the examination online, because Vancouver has really a lack of available exam slots compared to Montreal and Toronto. To make things even worse, my apartment has really terrible internet reliability issues. Therefore, I had to wait until the internet got stable enough and took a spot in the early morning of a weekend, when everyone else is sleeping.

How was the experience? It was identical to the experience in the centre. The main difference is the check-in experience. I had to do the check-in experience three times (!!!) and it delayed my start exam time for one hour. Pro Tip: keep your phone next to you until you are prompted by the exam greeter to put your phone away. It will keep you sane and may also prevent you to try to check-in multiple times. If the first check-in fails, contact Pearson Vue support right away.

If you have an exam centre within reach with an exam slot that works for you, please take the exam in a centre. Only take the online exam if no spot is available near you.
