Part of HOW TO // AI — CERT — practice questions for NVIDIA, AWS, Microsoft, and VMware certifications.
Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals (AI-901) is Microsoft’s entry-level AI certification — the 2026 successor to the popular AI-900 exam, which retires on June 30, 2026. It proves you understand core AI and machine-learning concepts and the Azure services that deliver them, and it’s designed for both technical and non-technical candidates — no data-science or programming experience required. Expect roughly 40–60 multiple-choice questions in about 45–60 minutes, with a passing score of 700 out of 1000. (Microsoft is updating rather than replacing the certification, so the core skill areas carry over from AI-900.)
Practice questions are the highest-leverage way to prepare: they show you how concepts get tested, expose the gaps you didn’t know you had, and make the real exam feel familiar. The free quiz below works like the real thing — multiple choice with plain-English explanations — and every question explains why the answer is right, which is where the actual studying happens.
What’s on the Azure AI Fundamentals exam
Microsoft’s skills-measured outline covers five areas. Our question set is mapped to these weights, so your practice score roughly tracks how the real exam distributes its questions:
