Frequently asked questions
Who should take AB-620?
AB-620 is for application developers, ISV engineers, Copilot Studio builders, and technical consultants. Most work at Microsoft partners, software vendors, or in enterprise IT in professional services, financial services, and technology.
What is the average salary for an AI Agent Builder?
Employers rarely hire for the AI Agent Builder title yet. In 2026 the closest published bands are Power Platform and Copilot Studio developers: about $95,000 to $130,000 in the United States, about £40,000 to £60,000 in the United Kingdom (median advertised Power Platform developer pay around £55,000), and about €55,000 to €75,000 in Germany. There is no single published EMEA average. Agent-building skills can pay at the higher end of those ranges.
Where do I find exam questions to practice?
You will find websites selling exam dumps or brain dumps that claim to be real AB-620 questions. Those materials are not official. Microsoft treats using brain dumps as cheating. It can invalidate your score, revoke certifications you already hold, and ban you from future exams. You can try the Microsoft exam sandbox to see the question types and timer, but it does not use real exam questions. Practise the skills measured in a real product environment rather than memorising leaked items.
Does the exam include official labs I can use to practice?
Microsoft does not publish a stable list of which certification exams include labs, and a lab can be dropped for a candidate if the live environment is unavailable. AB-620 may include live tasks in Copilot Studio, Microsoft Foundry, or Azure. For practice, use a Copilot Studio trial, a Power Platform developer environment, and Microsoft Learn exercises. Official instructor-led AB-620T00 training delivered by a Microsoft Learning Partner includes labs. Those labs are for the course, not a copy of the exam. The Microsoft exam sandbox shows traditional question types only. It does not give you the lab virtual machine.
