Frequently asked questions

Is this a full simulation of the PL-300 exam?

It is supplementary practice in concepts and scenarios. Use Microsoft’s exam sandbox for the interface and Power BI labs for hands-on work.

Can I try PL-300 questions for free?

Yes. Free questions: a 10-question diagnostic test covering the main units, no sign-up; at the end you get your score and your weakest units. The free practice test page lists the same questions with answers and an explanation for every option. The rest of the questions and the full mock exams come with a pass from SAR 26.

What makes this PL-300 question bank different?

Question bank: A site supplementary practice session of 50 questions in 100 minutes with a result for every unit, plus 500 explained questions across 4 units, every option explained, a review of your mistakes, and two ways to practise: see the answer right away, or sit a full timed mock. Every question is reviewed and referenced, ready to practise on your phone. Try the free questions and read the explanations before buying full access.

Is this an official site, and how do I pay?

It is an independent site, not part of Qiyas or any government body, and every question is reviewed before it is published. You pay once, with no automatic renewal, through Waffo Pancake (the merchant of record) by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and your statement shows "WAFFO". If you were charged twice or the pass did not open, email support@saudiexams.com.

Study material sample: Prepare the data

Summary

Prepare reliable inputs before modelling. Work through a small sales dataset and explain every transformation.

What the exam focuses on

  • Connect using the correct source connector; document credentials and privacy requirements before combining sources.
  • Choose storage from requirements: Import stores a copy, DirectQuery queries a source, and Direct Lake is a Fabric-specific option. Check feature prerequisites rather than assuming all sources support all modes.
  • Profile the relevant dataset scope before fixing errors. Distinguish null values, conversion errors and business-rule violations.

Common traps

  • Do not remove every error row before checking whether the error reveals a source or locale problem.
  • Append is not a key-based join. A reference query is not a guaranteed cached materialisation of its upstream result.

What should you verify in this step? Profile the relevant dataset scope before fixing errors?

Profile the relevant dataset scope before fixing errors. Distinguish null values, conversion errors and business-rule violations.

What should you verify in this step? Use grouping to aggregate rows?

Use grouping to aggregate rows. Pivot creates columns from categories; unpivot turns repeated attribute columns into attribute-value rows.
