# Agents – Mock Exam 2

A harder 50-item, domain-weighted independent mock exam for the Agents and Workflows track, designed as a timed readiness gate.

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

This is the second full-length **independent mock exam** for the **Agents and Workflows** track, built from publicly available OpenAI learning objectives and **not** an official OpenAI assessment. It is deliberately **harder** than mock exam 1 — more multi-constraint stems and more `FIRST` / `BEST` / `MOST cost-effective` / `TWO` qualifiers. All 50 questions are new and distinct from both mock exam 1 and the domain-page items. Use this as your **readiness gate** under timed conditions once mock exam 1 and your revision are behind you.

## Instructions

- **Time:** 60 minutes. Sit this one timed, in a single uninterrupted block.
- **Items:** 50 multiple-choice and multiple-response questions. Each item states how many answers to select.
- **Selection:** for a multiple-response item you must select all correct options and no incorrect ones to earn the mark; there is no partial credit.
- **No guessing penalty:** answer every question — a wrong answer costs nothing beyond the mark.
- **Target:** aim for **at least 80% raw** (40 of 50) under timed conditions before you take the real Academy **Agents and Workflows** assessment. The 80% line matches the Academy badge threshold.
- Read multi-constraint stems carefully: the qualifier (`FIRST`, `BEST`, `TWO`) usually decides between two defensible options.

## Domain distribution

| # | Domain | Weight | Items here |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | What an Agent Is and When to Use One | 16% | 8 |
| 2 | Defining Objectives and Tasks | 18% | 9 |
| 3 | Context, Tools and Permissions | 18% | 9 |
| 4 | Boundaries and Guardrails | 16% | 8 |
| 5 | Reviewing and Verifying Agent Work | 16% | 8 |
| 6 | Reliability and Iteration | 16% | 8 |

Total: 8 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 8 + 8 = **50 items**.

## Readiness interpretation

This is an independent readiness indicator, not an official score.

| Raw score (of 50) | Band | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 45–50 | 90%+ | Strong readiness; you are ready for the real assessment |
| 40–44 | 80–89% | Assessment ready; review any weak domain |
| 35–39 | 70–79% | Building confidence; another revision pass advised |
| Below 35 | under 70% | Keep learning; this harder set has found real gaps |

Because this mock is harder than mock exam 1, a score in the **80–89%** band here is a strong signal of readiness. Treat **40 of 50** as your minimum gate.

## Take the mock exam

Two ways to use the questions below: the **interactive mode** runs a timed sitting one question at a time and ends with your readiness indicator, 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.
