Questions

Good to know

Do I need to join a user group to join a study group?

It depends on how the group is hosted. If the study group shares a virtual meeting link, you just join. If it uses a Meetup page, you join the user group there, then register for the study group sessions.

  • Hello, I would like to register Jan 31, 2027 PL-300 exam, but no option for that date. Could you help me out? Thank you.

  • Hi Microsoft Fabric Data Days Team, I clicked the official "Request my 50% exam voucher" link for PL-300, which should allow me to take the exam by January 31, 2027. However, the application form only provides November 30, 2026 and December 31, 2026 as exam deadline options. January 31, 2027 is not available. Could you please confirm whether the form has an error and advise how I should proceed? Thank you.

  • Hello, I submitted the Data Days voucher form using my PUP webmail account but I used my first practice assessment score of 72 percent. I retook the DP-800 practice assessment and scored 94 percent. Can I update my submission, or is there a way to correct it? I do not want to submit a second form and be marked ineligible. Thank you.

    Hi Microsoft Fabric Data Days Team and FabricMau​FabricMau​,

    I wanted to check if scoring at least 85 percent on a Practice Assessment is mandatory to receive the voucher ? I've taken Practice Assessment before, but my past results seem to have disappeared from both Microsoft Learn and AI Skills Navigator. Could you please help me locate them or clarify how this requirement is trackede ? Thank you

  • Hello Microsoft Fabric Community Team, I am a Power Platform developer based in Senegal. I am very eager to advance my skills in the Microsoft ecosystem and was looking forward to participating in the Data Days: AI @ Work initiative to take the PL-300 exam.

    However, I noticed in the terms and conditions that applicants residing in Senegal are excluded from receiving the certification vouchers.

    Could you please clarify the reason behind this geographic restriction? I am highly motivated to certify and contribute to the Microsoft community, and I see no justification for Senegal to be excluded from this opportunity. I would highly appreciate it if my country could be considered for this promotional opportunities.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,

  • Hi, I received a DP-600 exam voucher in October from Philippa Burgess of the Microsoft Fabric Location Intelligence & Security User Group. Since Data Days is a new event, am I still eligible to request a voucher through this program, or does the one voucher per person rule include the earlier one? Thank you!

  • Hi Microsoft Fabric Data Days Team and FabricMau​,

    I successfully submitted my application for the 100% DP-700 certification exam voucher on November 3, 2026, selecting November 30 as my exam deadline. I would like to request a change to December 31, 2026, to allow more time for preparation. Since my voucher has not yet been issued, is it possible to update my existing application?
    I understand that only one voucher request is permitted per person, and I do not want to submit another application.

    Thank you for your assistance.
