How readiness guidance works
How readiness guidance is formed
Your completed test evidence and study-plan progress are combined to recommend one practical next step.
Check the current plan
Compare the remaining schedule with the tasks still planned in your study plan.

Practice, reinforce gaps, or continue the plan with fresh evidence.
What readiness means for Extending Microsoft Power Platform Solutions with Code and AI
Readiness means defending an extension choice, implementing it within its permissions and execution boundary, and diagnosing it after a requirement changes.
- Show custom interface, server operation, automation, and integration evidence.
- Include code-app and agent interoperability work from the current scope.
- Explain why an alternative violates a transaction, security, reliability, or deployment constraint.
Guidance only — not a pass prediction.
AB-400 readiness by exam domain
Use one dimension per official domain. Exact weights here are internal guidance, not Microsoft blueprint percentages.
| Exam dimension | Weight | Evidence focus |
|---|---|---|
| Build Microsoft Power Platform solutions | 20% | Plan component boundaries, security, reuse, monitoring, and release configuration. The range is the current official AB-400 blueprint allocation. Its exact readiness aggregation weight is internal guidance, not official scoring. |
| Extend the user experience | 25% | Develop form interactions, reusable controls, and code apps with operational evidence. The range is the current official AB-400 blueprint allocation. Its exact readiness aggregation weight is internal guidance, not official scoring. |
| Extend Microsoft Power Platform | 40% | Implement server behavior, resilient clients, workers, automation, and governed agent calls. The range is the current official AB-400 blueprint allocation. Its exact readiness aggregation weight is internal guidance, not official scoring. |
| Develop integrations | 15% | Connect external processing through events, synchronization, and connector contracts. The range is the current official AB-400 blueprint allocation. Its exact readiness aggregation weight is internal guidance, not official scoring. |
What to review before your next practice test
Use these fixed study suggestions from the published Readiness package before you test again.
1Priority 1 — Code app deployment and diagnosis
- Package, deploy, and share a code app with required access.
- Investigate blocked resources through CSP evidence.
- Use Monitor, browser tools, and Application Insights to diagnose performance and resource use.
2Priority 2 — Transactional Dataverse extensions
- Choose stage and mode, inspect context, and configure images.
- Implement efficient logic and expose an operation through a custom API.
- Review registration, business events, and managed identity requirements.
Maintain: Custom agent and platform interoperability
- Start with the weakest domain rather than relying on the average.
- Demonstrate a changed scenario and explain its failure path.
