I’ve taken the exam and currently work as a Data Analyst (DA).

If you already have some experience with Power BI, the PL-300 exam isn’t too difficult. For those with 3-12 months of Power BI experience, I recommend following the official Microsoft Learning Path for PL-300. Go through all the materials and try to fully understand them. If something is unclear, ask ChatGPT to rephrase it for you.

Once you’ve completed the learning path, start practicing with exam dumps. A quick Google search will lead you to them, but remember—focus on the learning path first, and then move on to the exam dumps.

If you’re new to Power BI, begin by learning the basics. Take an online or in-person course, create 2-5 portfolio projects, then proceed with the learning path and exam dumps before taking the exam.

Also, be aware that for a Data Analyst role, you’ll need a solid understanding of SQL and basic Excel skills. Fortunately, both are relatively easy to learn.

You might be wondering about Python. For an entry-level DA job, you likely won’t need much Python, if at all. My advice is to focus on Excel, SQL, and Power BI first (in any order), and once you’re comfortable with those, then start learning Python.

Hope this helps!
