Our question set is weighted to the blueprint:

Domain	Weight	What it covers
Understanding the AI Problem	26%	Framing business problems as AI/ML problems: matching algorithm families to use cases, supervised vs unsupervised vs reinforcement learning, communicating goals and KPIs with stakeholders, and spotting ethical concerns before a project starts.
Engineering Features for ML	20%	Preparing data so models can learn: ETL and transformations, encoding categorical data, imputation, outliers, class imbalance and SMOTE, dimensionality reduction with PCA, avoiding data leakage, and the ethics of feature choices.
Training and Tuning ML Models	24%	Building and refining models: classic ML algorithms (regression, trees, ensembles, SVM, k-NN, clustering) and deep learning architectures (ANN, CNN, RNN/LSTM, GAN), hyperparameter tuning, regularization, and cross-validation.
Operationalizing ML Models	30%	The heaviest domain: taking models to production — deployment, monitoring, retraining, and the MLOps practices that keep a solution working after launch.

How to prepare

Read the official exam page at CertNexus, take a practice set above, then focus your studying on the domains where you missed questions rather than re-reading everything. Pair it with the study guide for the concepts — and note the heaviest domain is Operationalizing ML Models (30%), so make sure deployment and MLOps get real study time. Weighing your options at this level? Microsoft’s brand-new AI-103 (Azure AI Apps & Agents Developer) is the other hands-on AI exam of the moment.

How much does the AIP-210 (CAIP) exam cost?

The exam voucher is $367.50, purchased through the CertNexus store or Pearson VUE. It is delivered at Pearson VUE test centers or via OnVUE online proctoring.

Is AIP-210 a CompTIA exam?

Not exactly — AIP-210 is the CertNexus Certified Artificial Intelligence Practitioner (CAIP). CertNexus became part of the CompTIA family in 2023, which is why people search "CompTIA AIP-210," but you register through CertNexus/Pearson VUE and the credential carries the CertNexus name.

How many questions is AIP-210 and what score passes?

90 questions — 80 scored plus 10 unscored trial items — in 120 minutes (including about 10 minutes of agreement and tutorial). The passing score is 60%, or 59% on some statistically equated forms. Formats are multiple choice and multiple response.

What experience do I need for the CAIP exam?

There are no formal prerequisites, but CertNexus recommends 1–3 years of professional machine-learning or data exposure — Python or R, statistics, and SQL. It is a practitioner-level exam, not an AI-literacy credential.

How long is the CAIP certification valid?

3 years. You can renew by retaking the exam or by completing 60 hours of continuing education.
