The exam fee buys you one attempt at the Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Developer Associate. Everything else on your path to certification, revision material included, sits outside this price, and that is where most of the budget of a certification actually goes.
Note from the vendor record: VERSION TRANSITION (critical): PL-400 registration closes 2026-10-16 (registered candidates can test through 2026-10-30) and AB-400 opens 2026-10-16; the certification now lists both exams. The planned blog (2027-03-29) must be written around AB-400. Renewal every 12 months; question count not published.
