What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Design Applications | 14% |
| Data Preparation | 14% |
| Application Development | 30% |
| Assembling and Deploying Applications | 22% |
| Governance | 8% |
| Evaluation and Monitoring | 12% |
Two sample questions
1. A team must halve search latency and can accept a small quality loss. What is the best embedding change for it to test?
- A higher embedding dimension, such as 1536 instead of 768
- A lower embedding dimension, such as 384 instead of 768 — correct
- Scale-to-zero on the embedding endpoint
- Longer chunks with more overlap
Why: Lower-dimensional vectors are faster: 768 to 384 typically raises QPS about 1.5x and cuts latency about 20%.
2. A team chose a storage-optimized endpoint and asks for continuous sync. What should the engineer explain?
- Continuous sync is the default mode on storage-optimized endpoints
- Storage-optimized endpoints cannot sync at all
- Storage-optimized endpoints support triggered sync only — correct
- Sync modes only apply to Genie spaces
Why: Only triggered sync mode is supported on storage-optimized endpoints.
