Foundational certification
AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) prep

The exam has 65 questions in 90 minutes, and you need a scaled score of 700 out of 1,000 to pass. Here are the official facts, what each domain covers and how to prepare with TokIQ.

Study plan
How to prepare for AIF-C01 with TokIQ
TokIQ opens as an AI quiz. Tap Prepare for a certification, choose AIF-C01, and the app switches to exam prep. A few minutes a day, every day.
- 01
Pick the exam and your exam date
Choose the exam in the app and set the date you booked. No date yet? You get a 30-day plan. The app tells you how many questions a day keep you on track.
- 02
Do the daily session
About 10 questions a day (you can choose 5, 10, 15 or 20). Missed questions come back the next day; questions you get right come back at growing intervals (1, 3, 7 days and longer). That is spaced repetition: you review just before you would forget.
- 03
Read why, with the source
Every answer has an explanation in your language, and the question keeps the official English exam terms. Each question is built from the official exam guide and cites the official documentation page it is based on.
- 04
Fix your weak domains
Accuracy is tracked per official exam domain. The daily session leans toward your weakest domain, and the Practice tab lets you drill any domain. Wrong answers collect in My mistakes for review.
- 05
Watch your readiness score
After about 30 answers covering every domain, TokIQ estimates your readiness: your recent accuracy in each domain, weighted like the exam. It is an estimate to guide your study, not a prediction of your result.
- 06
Take a timed mock exam
A full-length practice exam with a timer, mark-for-review and a result per task statement. Free accounts get one mock exam a week; Premium unlocks more.
TokIQ questions are original practice questions written from the public exam guide and official documentation. They are not real exam questions, and no practice app can promise a pass.
AIF-C01: common questions
How many questions are on the AIF-C01 exam and how long is it?
65 questions in 90 minutes. 50 questions count toward your score and 15 are unscored questions that AWS is trying out; you can't tell which ones they are, so answer every question.
What is the passing score for AWS Certified AI Practitioner?
Results are reported as a scaled score from 100 to 1,000, and the minimum passing score is 700. The scoring is compensatory: you need to pass the exam as a whole, not each domain.
Which AIF-C01 domain matters most?
Applications of Foundation Models is the largest domain at 28% of scored content, followed by Fundamentals of GenAI (24%), Fundamentals of AI and ML (20%), and Responsible AI and Security, Compliance and Governance (14% each). TokIQ's daily session spreads new questions by these weights and leans toward your weakest domain.
Does TokIQ cover the 2026 version of the AIF-C01 exam guide?
Yes. TokIQ questions are written from exam guide version 1.1 (published April 30, 2026), which added topics such as agentic AI, context engineering, MCP and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore.
Are TokIQ questions real AIF-C01 exam questions?
No. They are original practice questions written from the public exam guide, and each one cites the official AWS documentation page it is based on. TokIQ never uses leaked exam content.
Can I study for AIF-C01 in my own language?
The exam itself is offered in 12 languages. In TokIQ the questions keep the official English terms, and the explanations come in any of the app's 40 languages.
How does TokIQ help me prepare for AIF-C01?
Pick the exam and your exam date, then do a short daily session (about 10 questions).

Explanations come in the language you choose from the app’s 40 languages.
Can TokIQ guarantee that I pass?
No. TokIQ shows how you are doing on practice questions and where to focus. The readiness score is an estimate from your own answers, not a prediction of your exam result. Combine it with the official training and documentation.
