MB-200: Microsoft Power Platform + Dynamics 365 Core – Revision Guide

September 9, 2019

I have been completing a series of posts to help people prepare for the MB 200 certification (Microsoft Power Platform + Dynamics 365 Core). Here is a collection of links to all of those posts. I hope these might serve as a useful revision aid for the MB 200 exam.

The MB 200 certification is not easy! But it is an important exam, as it is a prerequisite in gaining any of the Functional Consultant Associate certifications.

Additionally, the MB 200 (being the core exam) has quite a wide focus, meaning you will have lots to revise. Hopefully that will be a fun process, but you will need to be prepared to cover a significant number of topics.

Also, Microsoft have begun a process of regular revisions to the skills measured. Therefore I suggest you double check their latest information to ensure you revise all of the required topics!

Hi Neil
Since MS have depricated the MB200 will you be rehashing this guide for the PL200?

  Thanks Ben, I will probably alter for PL200 at some point. Although much of the content is probably still applicable. (Although I might create a revision guide for another exam first!)
