OpenAI Certification Practice Questions

OpenAI has not published the exam domains or confirmed the question format, so there are no practice questions here yet. Reporting describes the AI Foundations assessment as scenario-based tasks completed inside ChatGPT rather than a multiple-choice exam, and the blog tracks what OpenAI has actually announced.

There is nothing to buy and no sign-up here yet. The site opens when OpenAI publishes the exam domains and we have written and reviewed the first questions against them.

Why this works

Three reasons learners actually pass.

The platform is built around retrieval practice: what the published research finds works, and what works in front of the examiner.

01 / 03

We Will Map to the Official Blueprint

OpenAI has not yet released the exam domains or their weightings. When it does, we will organise every question against that blueprint rather than guessing at the structure in advance.

02 / 03

Track Progress by Domain

Our other qualifications show mastery topic by topic so you can see where revision time is best spent. The OpenAI bank will work the same way once the exam structure is published.

03 / 03

An Explanation With Every Answer

Every question we write carries a detailed explanation of why the answer is right. Reporting on the AI Foundations assessment describes scenario-based tasks rather than recall, so the reasoning is the part worth practising.

How it works

From landing here to passing the paper.

You're answering real questions before you finish reading this page. No content gating and no pre-assessment funnel.

01

We Wait for the Blueprint

OpenAI has partnered with ETS on the psychometric design and Credly by Pearson on badging. Until the exam domains are published there is nothing reliable to practise against, so we are not going to invent one.

02

We Build the Bank

Once the domains, weightings and question format are public, we write practice against them at three difficulty levels, with an explanation on every answer. If the exam turns out to be assessed by scenario-based tasks rather than by questions, we will say so here and rethink what useful practice looks like.

03

You Practise and Track Progress

At launch you will get a free unit with no card required, a dashboard showing mastery by domain, and the rest of the bank on subscription.

The evidence

Active recall is the literature.

Decades of cognitive-science research find that retrieval practice (answering questions you might get wrong) produces more durable learning than re-reading or highlighting. We built a question bank disciplined enough to use it.

FAQ

The questions serious applicants actually ask.

Can I practise for the OpenAI certification here yet?
Not yet. OAI Prep is in development and there are no questions on the site at the moment. We are waiting for OpenAI to publish the exam domains so that our practice content matches what is actually tested.
Does the OpenAI certification exam exist?
Partly. OpenAI Academy offers free AI Foundations courses that award a Credly completion badge, which records that you finished a course rather than that you passed an assessment. A full proctored exam has been announced and is reported to be in development with ETS providing the psychometric design, but as of August 2026 it is still running through employer pilots and OpenAI has not opened public registration or committed to a date.
Will the OpenAI certification be a multiple-choice exam?
OpenAI has not published a format for the announced proctored exam. What is reported about the AI Foundations assessment points the other way: it is described as scenario-based tasks completed inside ChatGPT rather than a multiple-choice paper, with ETS providing the psychometric design. We build MCQ practice, so we are watching this closely. If the exam is assessed by work-sample tasks rather than by questions, we will say so on this page rather than sell practice questions for an exam that does not use them.
When will the OpenAI certification exam be available?
OpenAI has not announced a date or opened public registration. The exam has been announced and is reported to be in development with ETS, with badging through Credly by Pearson, and it is currently running through employer pilots. Estimates of a wider release circulate among commentators, but OpenAI has not published one. We update this page when that changes.
What will the exam cover?
OpenAI has not published the exam domains, weightings, question count, duration, passing score, or proctoring arrangements. Anyone selling a syllabus breakdown for this exam today is guessing. We will publish ours when the official blueprint is released.
When will OAI Prep launch?
We will start writing questions as soon as OpenAI publishes the exam domains, and the site goes live once the first bank is written and reviewed. We have not set a launch date because it depends on OpenAI’s timing rather than ours.
Is OAI Prep affiliated with OpenAI?
No. OAI Prep is an independent practice platform and is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by OpenAI. All content is our own preparation material. OpenAI and ChatGPT are trademarks of OpenAI, Inc.
Will there be a free tier?
Yes. As with every qualification we run, the first unit will be free with no credit card required, and a subscription will unlock the rest of the bank.
