Exam Day Checklist
- Match the endpoint to the client: a project endpoint (services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/...) goes with AIProjectClient, and the Azure OpenAI v1 endpoint (openai.azure.com/openai/v1/) goes with the OpenAI client. Prefer keyless Microsoft Entra ID over keys.
- Know who does what in an agent: the model decides which tool to call, your app runs a function call and returns its output, and long jobs such as video generation and document analysis are asynchronous and polled.
- Pick the simplest orchestration that works: one agent with tools first, sequential for fixed steps, concurrent for independent parallel work, handoff when the right specialist isn't known upfront, and group chat for maker-checker review.
- For grounding, hybrid search with semantic ranking is the recommended retrieval, and an agent only searches and cites reliably when its instructions tell it to.
- Expect renamed and retiring features: the Azure AI roles are now Foundry roles, visual workflows retire December 1, 2026, and several Azure Language features, including sentiment analysis and summarization, retire March 31, 2029.
- Read the final sentence of a long scenario first to find the actual question.
- Watch for qualifiers such as NOT, BEST, and MOST appropriate.
- You have 120 minutes and need 700 to pass. Flag hard questions and come back; change an answer only with a clear reason.
