    Frequently Asked Questions

    AB-650 Boot Camp Questions, Answered
    AB-650

    Real questions from real professionals who passed.
    Here's how we answer them.

    Microsoft 365 Certified: Microsoft 365 and AI Services Administrator Associate. AB-650 is the only exam required for it. It lands on your Microsoft Learn transcript once you pass, so employers can verify it directly from there.

    3 days of live, instructor-led AB-650 training from Official Microsoft Courseware, delivered online or in person. Class runs 9am to 5pm, the labs are hosted so you need only a laptop, and test day is scheduled for Day 3.

    Yes. Your $165 AB-650 exam voucher is included with your enrollment. Nothing further is owed on test day, and the voucher stays valid if you would rather book the exam later.

    Microsoft has not published a length for AB-650 yet, which is normal while an exam is in beta. Expect between 40 and 60 questions and a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass, which is Microsoft’s standard for role-based exams. We confirm the timing with you before you book.

    Three, weighted as published by Microsoft: Configure and manage Microsoft 365 tenants and workloads (20-25%); Govern and secure Microsoft 365 tenants and workloads (40-45%); Manage and secure AI services in Microsoft 365 (35-40%).

    Yes. Microsoft launched it as a beta exam, which means scoring is held until the exam reaches general availability and Microsoft’s own free practice assessment is not out yet. Our practice material is written in-house from the published skills outline, so it is available to you either way. Ask us where the exam stands before you book.

    MS-102 and the Microsoft 365 Certified: Administrator Expert credential both retire on 30 November 2026, and AB-650 is the successor Microsoft has named for Microsoft 365 administration. It covers much of the same tenant, identity, Defender and Purview ground, and adds Copilot and agent administration on top.

    Microsoft 365 administrators, tenant administrators and collaboration admins who have been handed Copilot, agents or both and are now answerable for readiness, oversharing and cost.

    Microsoft enforces no prerequisite certification. The exam does assume experience with Microsoft 365 workloads and Entra ID, an understanding of Defender XDR, and familiarity with Purview.

    AB-900 is the fundamentals exam for Microsoft 365 and AI administration, and AB-620 is about building integrated agent solutions in Copilot Studio. AB-650 is the administration credential between them: running Copilot and agents safely in a production tenant rather than introducing them or building them.

    Yes, both. Lifecycle workflows for agent identities through Entra Agent ID, securing agent access with access packages and Conditional Access, the agent registry, and Agent 365 for tools, monitoring, data protection and compliance gap evaluation.

    Your retake is covered by our Free Retake Guarantee. You return for the full AB-650 course at no cost and sit the exam again, keeping 180 days of instructor support to work through whatever tripped you up.

    Yes. We run private cohorts online or at your site, and can shape the labs around your own tenant, Copilot licensing and agent estate. Private AB-650 cohorts run to your own schedule, and the agenda can lean toward the parts of the blueprint your team actually uses.

    Many of our courses are approved. Eligibility for the AB-650 boot camp depends on the program and your location, so check our military and veterans page or contact us before enrolling.

    AB-650 is the Microsoft 365 administration exam written for tenants that now run Copilot and AI services, which is where most administration jobs are heading.

    It is in beta, so there is no Microsoft practice assessment and the outline is still settling. Governance carries the heaviest weighting.

    Microsoft 365 administrator, AI services administrator, and governance leads whose remit has expanded to include AI rollout.
