AI-102 is retired. AI-103 isn't a rename.

Microsoft retired AI-102 on 30 June 2026 and rebuilt the exam around Microsoft Foundry, the agent runtime, and shipping generative AI rather than wiring up pre-built services. Generative AI and agentic solutions is now the largest domain. Our practice is written to the current skills outline, not to AI-102 material with the names changed.

  • Questions weighted to the official domain split, so a mock matches the real mix
  • Every item tagged to the domain and subskill it tests
  • Readiness shown against 700, not as an invented percentage

Free practice across all five domains. No card required.

A retailer is shipping a customer-facing agent from a Microsoft Foundry project. The agent must answer from a product catalogue already indexed for retrieval, call an internal order-status API, and stop for a human before it issues a refund.

AI-102 to AI-103

The centre of gravity moved to agents

AI-102 tested whether you could deploy and integrate Azure's pre-built AI services. AI-103 tests whether you can build and ship a generative application or an agent on Microsoft Foundry. Planning, vision, language and knowledge mining carry over, but the weighting changed and the largest domain is now one that barely existed on the old exam.

If you prepared for AI-102, most of your platform knowledge still counts. What doesn't carry is the assumption that the exam is service-by-service.

Scoring

700 is a pass. It isn't 70%.

Microsoft reports technical exams on a scale of 1 to 1,000, and 700 or above passes. Because it's a scaled score, it doesn't correspond to answering 70% of questions correctly — how many you need depends on the difficulty of the questions you're given.

There's no penalty for a wrong answer, so never leave one blank. Some questions are worth more than one point, and on some exams you can't return to a question once you've moved past it.

Now change nothing except which form you were given

Same answers. Harder form, higher scaled score — that's what scaling is for. It's also why nobody can tell you the percentage you need.

Positions here are illustrative. Microsoft publishes the 1–1,000 scale and the 700 pass mark, but not the conversion from raw answers — which is the point. When a number can't be known exactly, a range is the honest way to report it.

Hard

A retailer is shipping a customer-facing agent from a Microsoft Foundry project. The agent must answer from a product catalogue already indexed for retrieval, call an internal order-status API, and stop for a human before it issues a refund.

Which two actions should you take? Select two.

Define tool schemas for catalogue retrieval and the order-status API, and enable function calling on the agent.
Paste the full catalogue into the system prompt and raise max_tokens so every SKU fits.
Fine-tune a vision model on product photos so the agent can skip retrieval altogether.
Add an approval-flow control on the refund action so the agent cannot execute it autonomously.

Tool schemas and function calling connect the agent to retrieval and the order-status API. An approval-flow control is how you stop a refund from running autonomously. Prompt stuffing and vision fine-tuning do not. Domain: Implement generative AI and agentic solutions.

What you get back

Not a prediction. A distance from the line.

Your readiness is a range, because it's an inference from the questions you've answered rather than a result you've earned. For a certification that matters more than it does for a scored test, because the outcome is binary: the only question is whether the whole range sits above 700.

While the range straddles the line, you're a coin flip, and we'll say so.

Domains

What AI-103 actually covers

Microsoft publishes a weighted skills outline. Our mocks follow those weights, so a domain worth a third of the exam gets a third of the questions.

AI-103 domain weights
DomainWeight
Implement generative AI and agentic solutions30–35%
Plan and manage an Azure AI solution25–30%
Implement computer vision solutions10–15%
Implement text analysis solutions10–15%
Implement information extraction solutions10–15%

Weights are ranges because Microsoft publishes them as ranges. Skills measured as of 16 April 2026. Microsoft revises outlines, and we re-check ours against theirs on a schedule — the date we last looked is in the claims register.

The first two domains are more than half the exam. If you're budgeting study time, two thirds of it belongs in Foundry and agents.

Information extraction is one of the lighter domains on paper, but grounding and retrieval run through the agent questions too. It's tested in more places than its weight suggests.

What the heaviest domain contains

Connecting an application to a Foundry project, the agent runtime, agent tools and function calling, multi-agent orchestration, plus tuning, evaluation, tracing and observability. Planning also asks which Foundry service fits a constraint, not what each service does.
