Below are 15 original AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) practice questions, mapped to the official exam domains. Every question has the answer, why it is right, and why each other option is wrong. Answer each one before you read the explanation, and write down the domain of every question you miss. That list tells you where to study next.
How these questions map to the exam
The questions follow the official AIF-C01 domain weights, so the heavier domains get more questions.
| Domain | Official weight | Questions here |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Fundamentals of AI and ML | 20% | 3 (Q1–Q3) |
| 2. Fundamentals of GenAI | 24% | 4 (Q4–Q7) |
| 3. Applications of Foundation Models | 28% | 4 (Q8–Q11) |
| 4. Guidelines for Responsible AI | 14% | 2 (Q12–Q13) |
| 5. Security, Compliance, and Governance for AI Solutions | 14% | 2 (Q14–Q15) |
The real exam has 65 questions in 90 minutes: 50 scored and 15 unscored. Besides multiple choice and multiple response, AIF-C01 can include ordering and matching questions. AWS updated the exam guide in 2026 to add agentic AI, the Model Context Protocol and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, so make sure your prep is current.
The questions
Question 1 · Fundamentals of AI and ML
A retail chain wants to predict how many units of each product it will sell next month, using several years of historical sales data. Which type of ML problem is this?
Answer: C
Regression predicts a continuous number, such as units sold, from labelled historical data.
- A is wrong because classification predicts a category, such as "will buy" or "will not buy".
- B is wrong because clustering groups unlabelled data by similarity and does not predict a value.
- D is wrong because dimensionality reduction reduces the number of input features; it does not make predictions on its own.
How did you do?
Fifteen questions are a sample, not a readiness verdict. The real exam has 50 scored questions across five domains, and one question here moves your score by almost 7%. Use these bands as a first signal only.
| Correct | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| 13–15 | A strong start. Confirm it with a full-length practice exam before you book. |
| 10–12 | Close, with gaps. Your misses probably cluster in one or two domains. |
| 7–9 | Good foundations, but not exam-ready yet. Study your weakest domain first. |
| 0–6 | Start with AI and GenAI fundamentals, then come back and retest. |
Look at the domains you wrote down. Your weakest domain is where your next study hour should go. Readiness means steady results in every domain across many questions, not one good run of 15.
