# Agents – Mock Exam 1

A 50-item, domain-weighted independent mock exam for the Agents and Workflows track, with full explanations and a readiness indicator.

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

This is a full-length, domain-weighted **independent mock exam** for the **Agents and Workflows** track. It is built from publicly available OpenAI learning objectives and is **not** an official OpenAI assessment. All 50 questions are new and do not repeat the domain-page items. Use this as your **diagnostic**: sit it first to find your two weakest domains, then revise before mock exam 2.

## Instructions

- **Time:** 60 minutes, matching the length of the interactive sitting.
- **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) before you take the real Academy **Agents and Workflows** assessment. The 80% line matches the Academy badge threshold.
- Work each question before expanding the answer.

## 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 across all domains |
| 40–44 | 80–89% | Assessment ready; review any weak domain |
| 35–39 | 70–79% | Building confidence; targeted revision advised |
| Below 35 | under 70% | Keep learning; revisit D2 and D3 first |

The 80% band matches the Academy badge threshold, so treat **40 of 50** as your minimum before sitting the real assessment.

## 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.
