Study Plan
How we suggest you work through AB-620.
We start with planning and configuration, because the choices you make there decide how far an agent can go. That means topics, knowledge sources, generative orchestration and the security settings that keep an agent inside its lane.
Integration is the heaviest domain at 40 to 45 percent, so it gets the longest block. You connect agents to actions, connectors, flows and outside services, and you build extensions until calling an API from an agent feels routine.
Testing and management come last. We cover test methods, analytics, application lifecycle management and how to move an agent from a dev environment into production without breaking it.
The final week is review. You go back through each skill group, rebuild the labs you found hardest, and run through the exam sandbox so the interface is familiar before you book.
Exam Policies
How Microsoft runs the AB-620 exam.
AB-620 leads to Microsoft Certified: AI Agent Builder Associate. Microsoft requires a score of 700 or greater to pass.
Microsoft notes that the bullets under each skill show how a skill is assessed, and related topics may also be covered. Most questions cover features that are generally available, but the exam can include Preview features if they are commonly used.

Microsoft associate certifications expire annually. You renew by passing a free online assessment on Microsoft Learn, and we show you how to keep AB-620 current.
Career Outlook
Where AB-620 can take you.
AB-620 suits people who build agents for a living, or are about to. Job posts that line up with it use titles like Copilot Studio developer, low code developer, AI solutions builder, Power Platform developer and automation engineer. The daily work is designing agents, connecting them to company data and systems, and keeping them tested and governed once people start using them.
For a sense of pay, BLS puts the May 2025 median annual wage for software developers, quality assurance analysts and testers at $134,040. A median is the midpoint, so half earned more and half earned less, and your own pay will depend on location, experience and employer. Source: BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook.
