9.3. Timed Practice Exam Guidance
How to use practice exams effectively:
| Approach | Why |
|---|---|
| Time yourself | The real exam has a time limit. Practice completing questions in ~60–90 seconds each |
| Attempt first, then check | Don't look up answers while answering, because that trains recognition, not recall |
| Review wrong answers deeply | For every wrong answer, identify which concept you misunderstood, not just what the right answer was |
| Track patterns in your errors | If you miss several questions on the same topic, return to that phase of this guide |
| Simulate exam conditions | No notes, no looking things up: build confidence in what you can recall |
Final week study schedule suggestion:
| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Review Phases 2 and 3 (GenAI fundamentals and responsible AI), the largest domain |
| Day 2 | Review Phase 6 (Agents and Copilot Cowork), the newest domain |
| Day 3 | Review Phases 4 and 5 (Prompts, memory and chats) |
| Day 4 | Review Phases 7 and 8 (Business content, connectors, meetings, Pages) |
| Day 5 | Full timed practice exam: identify weak areas |
| Day 6 | Targeted review of weak areas from the practice exam |
| Day 7 | Light review of the key distinctions table; rest |
