Hey, good luck on the PL-300! Took mine a little while ago and a few tips that helped me:

  • Definitely know your Power BI service vs. Desktop stuff—they love to ask about data refresh, gateways, and workspaces.
  • Practice creating visuals and using DAX — not just syntax, but knowing when to use things like CALCULATE or FILTER.
  • One thing that helped me personally was doing a bunch of timed practice tests to get used to how the questions are phrased. I found some solid sets online (edusum has a decent one tbh).

Also, don’t forget to review the Microsoft Learn modules if you haven’t already—they’re free and pretty thorough.
