Expert take: what PL-100 really tests
PL-100 is the "app maker" certification — aimed at citizen developers building low-code apps rather than pro-code developers — so it rewards actually building canvas and model-driven apps over theory. Its heaviest domain is integrating data (25–30%), reflecting that a Power App is only as good as the data it connects to, with Dataverse at the centre. Building one real app end to end teaches more than any amount of reading.
Preparation tips
- Build real canvas and model-driven apps — the exam rewards hands-on making.
- Prioritise data integration (25–30%) and understand Dataverse.
- Do not skip the analyse-data and security areas, which round out the exam.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Studying concepts without building an actual app in Power Apps.
- Treating it like a developer exam — PL-100 is low-code, not pro-code (that is PL-400).
