What to study first

Focus first on the highest-weight objectives for GitHub Copilot: effectively using GitHub Copilot for code completion, chat, prompt engineering, and responsible AI practices.

Four-step prep workflow

  1. Run an untimed baseline to identify weak domains.
  2. Build a mistake log by objective, not just by question.
  3. Drill weak domains with short focused sets until accuracy stabilizes.
  4. Finish with timed full-length attempts and post-test review.

Weekly study plan

  • Week 1: Blueprint mapping and fundamentals refresh.
  • Week 2: Domain-by-domain drills with explanation review.
  • Week 3: Mixed timed sets and weak-area remediation.
  • Week 4: Full timed attempts and exam-day readiness checks.

For longer exams, extend this cadence to 4 weeks and keep one rest/review day per week.

Exam-day strategy

  • Complete a first pass for easy-confidence points.
  • Flag uncertain items and return after finishing the full set.
  • Reserve at least 10% of your exam time for final review.
