Certification website Study guide

Here is a good list of all Azure AI services: https://azurecharts.com/overview/aiml

Exam Facts​

  • open book policy allows you to use Azure Learn documentation resources during the exam

    the best way to use it is to search for specific terms or concepts from the question and explore the documentation

  • exam duration: 100 minutes, there will be additional 20 minutes for a survey. Using the documentation counts towards the exam time.
  • number of questions: 40-60
  • exam doesn't contain any labs however it's important to go through labs on MS Learn to understand the concepts in practice

Learning with ChatGPT​

Since the release of GPT-4o the number of tokens increased significantly and the model is also available for free tier users. You could use the following prompt to generate questions for the exam and provide feedback from the LLM.

I'm preparing for the exam AI-102: Designing and Implementing an Azure AI Solution. I would like to generate questions for the exam.

VARIABLES:
- NR_OF_QUESTIONS: 50
- QUESTIONS_AT_A_TIME: 1
- SCENARIO_LENGTH: short
- QUESTION: which service would you choose to accomplish the scenario
- ANSWER_TYPE: single choice

QUESTIONS:
**Scenario**: describe question's scenario and let me answer "$QUESTION". Make the questions scenario "$SCENARIO_LENGTH".
List of answers of type "$ANSWER_TYPE".

My response will be number(s) or letter corresponding(s) to the answers. If my response is incorrect, tell me why and explain what is the correct response, if my response is correct, continue.
Produce "$QUESTIONS_AT_A_TIME" question(s) at a time, session for max "$NR_OF_QUESTIONS". Do you understand? Feel free to ask clarifying questions before we proceed, otherwise
let's start.

ChatGPT will generate response similar to the following:

Got it! I'll generate one question at a time, with a short scenario, and you'll choose the appropriate Azure AI service from a list of single-choice answers. If your response is incorrect, I'll explain why and provide the correct answer. We'll continue this way until we've covered 50 questions.

Let's start with the first question:

**Scenario 1**: You need to analyze customer feedback from social media to understand the overall sentiment. Which Azure AI service would you choose to accomplish this scenario?

a) Azure Cognitive Search
b) Azure Form Recognizer
c) Azure Text Analytics
d) Azure Speech Service

Please respond with the letter corresponding to your answer.

Alternatively you can try a custom GPT I have created for this purpose. This GPT uses additional training data to generate questions and provide feedback.
