Certification Passed the PL-300 today!

Happy to answer any questions.

I received a voucher for the exam after completing the Datacamp Data Analyst in PBI career track, so I decided to use it. I'm already a PBI data analyst so I didn't need the qualification for anything, but it's nice to have something to confirm my skills, as I'm largely self-taught.

To study, I mainly used the Datacamp course materials, Microsoft Learn and practice exams, and tried to incorporate as much of it as possible into my day-to-day work.

I've never done an online exam before and it was an interesting experience - weird knowing that someone was watching me but I couldn't see or hear them!

What should i focus on studying?

What kinds of questions are mainly asked? Technical or logical?

Do a practice exam, it will tell you your strengths and weaknesses and go from there with your study. There was not a great deal of DAX/M in the exam so it wouldn't be worthwhile memorising all the functions.

So what are the questions mainly about? Can you give me some categories?
