# AIB-C01 Mock Exam 2 A harder, full-length, 85-item, blueprint-weighted independent mock exam for the AWS Certified AI Business Strategist (AIB-C01) beta exam, used as a timed readiness gate before you book. import PracticeExam from '../../../../components/PracticeExam.astro'; This is the second 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. Treat this one as your **timed readiness gate**: it is deliberately harder than [Mock Exam 1](/aws/aib-c01/practice-exam/), with longer multi-constraint scenarios, more FIRST / BEST / MOST cost-effective qualifiers and more items where two options are defensible and the qualifier decides. All 85 items are new and do not repeat Mock Exam 1, 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); sit this one timed at 170 minutes as a realistic readiness check. - **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 — 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** on this harder set 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 | |   | **Total** | **100%** | **85** | ## Score interpretation The real exam is scored on a **scaled 100–1,000 range with a 700 pass mark**, and **AWS does not publish how a raw percentage maps to that scaled score** — 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. Because this mock is harder than Mock Exam 1, expect a slightly lower raw score here than there. | Raw score | Indicative scaled band | Reading | | --- | --- | --- | | under 60% | well below the 700 line | Not ready; revisit your weakest domains, the case studies and the in-page questions. | | 60–74% | approaching the 700 line | Close but not yet a safe margin; target your two weakest domains and re-sit. | | 75–84% | around or above the 700 line | A reasonable margin on this harder set; review any weak domain and book with a buffer. | | 85% and above | comfortably above the 700 line | Strong and consistent under the harder conditions; 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 24–28%, 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. Sit [Mock Exam 1](/aws/aib-c01/practice-exam/) first as your diagnostic, work any weak domain, then use this timed gate to confirm you are ready to book.
