I&#8217;ve taken a few training courses and have become dangerous enough to create and distribute reports in my day job. Obtaining the cert seemed like a logical way to give credibility to my skills&#8230; but then I took the Pl-300 practice tests. Ha ha.\u00a0 The results told me that\u00a0 it&#8217;s going to take a significant amount of time to pass the exam.<\/p><p>After a recent round of less than stellar results, I doubted that I even knew anything about Power BI. But I quickly silenced that doubt thinking about the reports I&#8217;ve published into the real world. Answering certification questions stretches another part of my brain, but not the part of my brain that is used when I model data, create measures, add drill-throughs, or write DAX. The certification is one way to demonstrate knowledge, but isn&#8217;t the right fit for me and that&#8217;s okay. Shout out the practice exams for helping me realize that!<\/p><p>I&#8217;m not anti-certification and may still sit for it, but my time is best invested in actually working in Power BI and building on top of my skills.<\/p><p>(I&#8217;ll report back if I sit for the certification.
