Free AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) practice test

The AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) validates a foundational understanding of AI, machine learning, and generative AI on AWS: what the technologies are, when to apply them, and how to use them responsibly and securely. This site gives you 161 original practice questions plus 8 interactive items in the exam's own formats, free and without an account.

AIF-C01 is not just multiple choice: the real exam also uses multiple-response ("Select TWO"), ordering, and matching questions. Our simulator reproduces all four formats, runs 90 timed minutes, and scores on the real 100 to 1,000 scale with the 700 pass line. Every topic links into the free 15-hour freeCodeCamp course at the matching chapter.

Try three sample questions

Sample question 1 · AIF-C01 · Generative AI

A chatbot confidently describes a product feature that has never existed. What is this failure mode called?

  1. AHallucination
  2. BOverfitting
  3. CData drift
  4. DUnderfitting
Show answer and explanation

A. Hallucination

Hallucination is a generative model producing fluent, confident output that is factually wrong; it is a core limitation the exam expects you to recognize.

Sample question 2 · AIF-C01 · Foundation Models

A support assistant must answer from internal policy documents that change weekly, without retraining the model. Which approach fits best?

  1. ARetrieval-Augmented Generation
  2. BFine-tuning
  3. CContinued pre-training
  4. DRaising the temperature
Show answer and explanation

A. Retrieval-Augmented Generation

RAG retrieves current documents at query time and grounds the response in them; fine-tuning and pre-training bake knowledge into weights and would need constant retraining.

Sample question 3 · AIF-C01 · Security & Governance

A compliance officer needs AWS's SOC and ISO audit reports for a vendor review. Which service provides them on demand?

  1. AAWS Artifact
  2. BAWS Config
  3. CAmazon Inspector
  4. DAWS CloudTrail
Show answer and explanation

A. AWS Artifact

AWS Artifact is the self-service portal for AWS compliance reports and agreements; Config tracks resource configuration and CloudTrail records API activity.

The full bank is weighted to the official domain split and includes multiple-response, ordering, and matching items just like the real exam.

Common questions

How many questions are on the AIF-C01 exam?

65 questions in 90 minutes: 50 scored plus 15 unscored questions AWS evaluates for future exams. Formats include multiple choice, multiple response, ordering, and matching. Our simulator mirrors all four.

What score do I need to pass?

AWS reports a scaled score from 100 to 1,000 with a minimum passing score of 700. Scoring is compensatory: you pass on the overall exam, not on each section.

Do I need AWS experience first?

AWS recommends up to six months of exposure to AI and ML workloads on AWS. The target candidate uses AI services rather than builds models; no coding or data-science background is required.

Is this actually free?

Yes. Every question, the exam simulator, and progress tracking are free with no account. Topic reviews link to Andrew Brown's free 15-hour AIF-C01 course on freeCodeCamp's YouTube channel.
