- What is Exam DP-600?
- DP-600 is Implementing Analytics Solutions Using Microsoft Fabric. It earns the Microsoft Certified: Fabric Analytics Engineer Associate certification. It is the analytics and modeling exam of the Microsoft Fabric track, built around semantic models, DAX and Power BI rather than pipelines. Its skills are stamped as of July 21, 2026.
- What are the DP-600 domain weights?
- DP-600 has three domains and they are not evenly weighted. Prepare data is 45 to 50 percent, so nearly half the exam. Implement and manage semantic models is 25 to 30 percent, and Maintain a data analytics solution is 25 to 30 percent. Unlike DP-700, DP-600 has a clear dominant domain you should spend most of your time on.
- What is the difference between DP-600 and DP-700?
- DP-600 is analytics engineering and DP-700 is data engineering. DP-600 is about semantic models, DAX and Power BI reporting. DP-700 is about ingestion, Spark, eventstreams, orchestration and monitoring. The phrase "semantic model" appears 11 times in the DP-600 outline and once in DP-700. The word "monitor" appears zero times in DP-600 and six times in DP-700.
- Is DP-600 hard?
- DP-600 is manageable if you already work in Power BI, because nearly half the exam, the Prepare data domain, is the daily job of getting and shaping data in Fabric. The harder parts are the governance and lifecycle bullets in the Maintain domain: deployment pipelines, the XMLA endpoint, row and column level security and sensitivity labels, which many Power BI users have never touched.
- How much does the DP-600 exam cost?
- Microsoft does not list DP-600 in its published exam pricing feed, so no honest source can quote you a confirmed DP-600 fee. Associate-level exams have generally been $165 in the United States, so that is the reasonable expectation, but confirm the price at checkout before you book. Treat any site stating a firm DP-600 price as guessing.
- How many questions are on the DP-600 exam?
- Microsoft publishes no question count for DP-600, and it publishes no pass rate for any of its exams. Its general guidance is that most exams contain 40 to 60 questions. The passing score is 700 on a scale of 1 to 1000, and Microsoft notes that a scaled score may not equal 70 percent of the points. Any site quoting an exact DP-600 question count or a pass percentage invented it.
- Should I take DP-600 or DP-700 first?
- Take DP-700 first if you want to do both, because its ingest and transform domain covers the lakehouse and warehouse groundwork that DP-600's Prepare data domain then builds semantic models on top of. If you only build reports and models and never touch pipelines, skip straight to DP-600.
- Is a DP-500 question bank still useful for DP-600?
- Only loosely. DP-500, the older Azure Enterprise Data Analyst exam, retired, and DP-600 is the current Fabric-era analytics associate exam. Your DAX and semantic-modeling knowledge carries over, but DP-600 is built around Fabric-specific concepts like OneLake, the OneLake catalog and Fabric deployment pipelines that a DP-500 bank will not cover.
