Top exam traps

  1. temperature/top_p = randomness · max_tokens = length
  2. Reliability&Safety (system) ≠ Accountability (people)
  3. Code references the deployment name, not base model
  4. Rules/grounding → system message
  5. Multimodal understands · image/video-gen create
  6. Agent uses tools & acts; chat = text-in/text-out
  7. Structured extraction from files → Content Understanding + field schema
  8. Grounding/RAG fixes hallucination (not higher temperature)

Memory sheet — Foundry

Structure

Hub → Project → Deployment (name+endpoint+filter)

Chat

messages: system/user/assistant → choices[0].message.content

Agent

model+instructions+tools; agent→thread→message→run→read

Content Understanding

analyzer + field schema; docs/images/audio/video

Lightning round

"People are answerable + a governance board oversees it" → principle?
Accountability = people/orgs answerable + governance.

Lightning round

Reduce hallucinations in answers about your internal policies?
Grounding/RAG supplies retrieved facts so answers are based on your data.

Lightning round

Minimum to create & test a single agent in the portal?
An agent needs a model deployment + instructions; tools/knowledge are optional add-ons.

Mock Certification Test

50 questions · 60 minutes · closed book

Weighted 40/60 across the two domains. Pass ≈ 35/50.

  • Read "choose TWO/THREE" carefully
  • Name the capability first, then the Foundry way to build it
  • Flag & return to hard items — don't stall
  • Sandbox the exam UI first: aka.ms/examdemo

Then review every answer together.
