Free practice sample
Fifteen original AI-200 practice questions, unlocked with no signup and instant scoring. The sample draws proportionally across all four exam domains — containerized solutions, AI data management services, Azure services integration, and security/monitoring/troubleshooting — so what you see here mirrors the shape of the real exam rather than a single topic slice.
Every question is written by Certifym Exam Services and reflects the current AI-200 beta blueprint (v1-2026-05), including the shift from AZ-204’s compute-and-storage patterns to the AI-native stack: containers-first deployment, vector-backed data on Cosmos DB and pgvector, managed identity as the security answer, and OpenTelemetry observability. Explanations name the winner and the near-miss so you learn the distinction, not just the answer.
Frequently asked questions about AI-200
How many questions are on the actual Microsoft AI-200 exam?
Microsoft no longer publishes a fixed question count for AI-200 — like most of its current exams, the count varies per delivery. Candidates typically see roughly 40 to 60 items in a mix of multiple-choice, multiple-response, drag-and-drop, and case-study formats. Confirm current logistics on the official Microsoft Learn exam page when you book.
What passing score do I need on AI-200?
700 out of 1000 on Microsoft’s scaled scoring — the standard threshold for associate-level Microsoft exams. That is not a raw 70% because harder items carry more scaled weight. The Certifym master simulator uses a 70% pass mark as an honest raw-score proxy so you know you have earned it on the heavy Domain 2 vector-data items, not luck in the lighter container-lifecycle ones.
How much does the AI-200 exam cost?
AI-200 is in Microsoft’s beta window through mid-2026. Beta exams are typically offered at a substantial discount off the standard associate-tier fee of $165 USD, or occasionally free to selected candidates. Standard pricing takes effect once the exam reaches general availability. Regional taxes apply, and Microsoft Learn shows the current price for your region.
Do I need AZ-900 or AI-900 before AI-200?
No — Microsoft lists no formal prerequisites. AI-200 is targeted at developers who already ship code on Azure, so working comfort with Azure services, containers, and the Azure SDKs is assumed. Candidates coming from a fundamentals cert (AZ-900, AI-900, DP-900) usually find the associate-level depth a real step up rather than a natural progression.
Should I take AI-200 now while it’s still in beta?
The credential you earn from passing a beta is the same credential you earn after general availability — it does not carry a “beta” label. Beta exams typically cost less, and results take longer (often 10–12 weeks after GA), but the credential is real. The trade-off is that study material is thinner during beta because the blueprint is newer.
How long should I study for AI-200?
Working Azure developers moving from AZ-204 typically report 40–80 hours of focused prep, weighted toward Domain 2 (AI data management with vector stores) and Domain 3 (event-driven integration patterns), because those are the largest departures from the retiring AZ-204 blueprint. Career switchers new to Azure should plan for substantially more time.
How is this free 15-question sample different from the full Certifym bank?
The sample is a fixed 15-question set drawn across the four domains at the exam’s blueprint proportions. The full Certifym paid bank is 1,020 original questions across 17 industry-vertical sets — enterprise, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, federal, retail, SaaS, higher education, energy, telecom, media, insurance, legal, non-profit, gaming, automotive, and real estate — with a mixed-simulator master pool that draws 60 questions per attempt. None of the paid-bank items appear in this sample.
