# AIB-C01 Mock Exam 1

A full-length, 85-item, blueprint-weighted independent mock exam for the AWS Certified AI Business Strategist (AIB-C01) beta exam, with full explanations and an indicative scaled score.

import PracticeExam from '../../../../components/PracticeExam.astro';

This is a full-length, blueprint-weighted **independent mock exam** for the AWS Certified AI Business Strategist (AIB-C01) **beta exam**. It is built from the publicly available exam guide and its task statements. It is **not an official AWS practice exam**, it contains no official exam questions, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by AWS. AIB-C01 is a beta exam and the official practice exam is not available during beta, so use this as your **diagnostic**: sit it first to find your two weakest domains before you book. All 85 items are new and do not repeat the domain-page questions or the [case studies](/aws/aib-c01/case-studies/).

## Instructions

- **Time:** 170 minutes, matching the certification page's stated duration. Note AWS's own [duration discrepancy](/aws/exam-logistics/) (the exam guide says 130 minutes); you can also practise at the tighter figure or take the mock untimed the first time.
- **Items:** 85, multiple choice and multiple response. Each item states how many answers to select.
- **Selection:** single-answer items use one choice; multiple-response items say **Select two**. Multiple-response items require **all correct responses** for credit &mdash; there is no partial credit.
- **No guessing penalty:** an unanswered item is scored incorrect, so answer every question and flag anything you want to revisit.
- **Target:** aim for **at least 75% raw** before you book, as an independent readiness signal.

## Domain distribution

| # | Domain | Weight | Items here |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | AI Fundamentals and Literacy | 24% | 20 |
| 2 | AI Strategy and Business Value Creation | 28% | 24 |
| 3 | AI Governance and Responsible AI Leadership | 24% | 21 |
| 4 | Business Readiness, Leadership, and AI Transformation | 24% | 20 |
| &nbsp; | **Total** | **100%** | **85** |

## Score interpretation

The real exam is scored on a **scaled 100&ndash;1,000 range with a 700 pass mark**, and **AWS does not publish how a raw percentage maps to that scaled score** &mdash; the number of scored versus unscored beta items is also unpublished. So treat the scaled figure below as a **rough indicative guide only**, never as an exact conversion. A scaled 700 is *not* "70% correct"; use your raw percentage as the primary signal.

| Raw score | Indicative scaled band | Reading |
| --- | --- | --- |
| under 60% | well below the 700 line | Not ready; revisit your weakest domains and redo the in-page questions. |
| 60&ndash;74% | approaching the 700 line | Close but not yet a safe margin; target your two weakest domains. |
| 75&ndash;84% | around or above the 700 line | A reasonable margin on this mock; review any weak domain and sit Mock Exam 2 timed. |
| 85% and above | comfortably above the 700 line | Strong and consistent; you are well prepared for the beta exam. |

Because scoring is **compensatory**, strength in one domain offsets weakness in another; you do not need to clear a bar in each domain. With four domains at 24&ndash;28%, though, a single weak domain is roughly a quarter of the exam, so one weak area is survivable and two is not.

## Take the mock exam

Two ways to use the questions below. The **interactive mode** runs a timed sitting one question at a time, with a navigator, flagging and keyboard shortcuts, and ends with your raw score, an indicative scaled figure, a per-domain breakdown and a full correction. The **review mode** underneath lists every question with its options one per line and the answer hidden until you ask for it. Work the [case studies](/aws/aib-c01/case-studies/) and the four domain pages first if this is your first pass, then sit [Mock Exam 2](/aws/aib-c01/practice-exam-2/) as your timed readiness gate.
