# AI Leadership · Mock Exam 1

A 50-item, domain-weighted independent mock exam for the OpenAI Academy AI Leadership course, 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 **AI Leadership** track. It is built from publicly available OpenAI learning objectives and is **not** an official OpenAI assessment or practice exam. Use it as your **diagnostic**: sit it first to find your two weakest domains. All 50 items are new and do not repeat the domain-page questions.

## Instructions

- **Time:** 60 minutes. This is our own suggested pacing for practice, not an official OpenAI limit.
- **Items:** 50, executive judgement scenarios. Each item states how many answers to select — most are single-answer, some are select-two.
- **Selection:** for single-answer items pick the one best option; for select-two items you must select **both** correct options and no others to score the item.
- **No guessing penalty:** answer every question. There is no deduction for a wrong answer.
- **Target:** aim for **≥ 80% raw** before taking the real OpenAI Academy assessment — the 80% line matches the Academy badge threshold. Remember that Academy badges and pathway certificates of completion are not certifications.

## Domain distribution

| # | Domain | Items here |
| --- | --- | --- |
| D1 | Opportunity and Value | 9 |
| D2 | Strategy and Roadmap | 9 |
| D3 | Governance and Risk | 9 |
| D4 | Adoption and Change Management | 8 |
| D5 | Workforce and Enablement | 7 |
| D6 | Measurement and ROI | 8 |

Total: 9 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 8 = **50 items**.

## Readiness interpretation

This is an independent readiness indicator, never an official score.

| Raw score | Band | What it means |
| --- | --- | --- |
| under 70% | Keep learning | Revisit the heaviest domains (Opportunity, Strategy, Governance) before re-attempting |
| 70–79% | Building confidence | Close the gaps in your two weakest domains, then re-sit |
| 80–89% | Assessment ready | You are at or above the Academy badge threshold; tidy up remaining weak spots |
| 90%+ | Strong readiness | Broad command of the material; proceed to the Academy assessment with confidence |

## 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 score, 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. See the [assessment model](/openai/assessment-model/) page for how the real Academy assessment differs.
