| # | Domain | Weight | Study chapter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity | 17% | domain 1 |
| 2.0 | Securing AI Systems | 40% | domain 2 |
| 3.0 | AI-assisted Security | 24% | domain 3 |
| 4.0 | AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance | 19% | domain 4 |
💡 Domain 2 is 40% of the exam — nearly half. Weight your study time toward securing AI systems (threat modeling, controls, monitoring, and attack/compensating-control analysis).
- Orient — read
exam-objectives.mdso you know the 4 domains and what each tests. - Learn — work through
study-guide/domain by domain (spend the most time on Domain 2). Keep the glossary and frameworks crosswalk open alongside. - Drill — load the flashcards into Anki and review daily (filter by domain tag for weak areas).
- Test — take Practice Test 1 closed-book and timed (60 min, 60 questions). Score it, then read every explanation — including for questions you got right.
- Target — each question is tagged (e.g.,
[2.6]); map your misses back to the study-guide objective and re-review. - Repeat — Tests 2 and 3 are independent variants. Build consistency before exam day.
- Cram — the cheat sheets and the study plan are for the final stretch.
The practice tests are exam-realistic, not exam-identical. Use them to find gaps — don't memorize answer letters (the same concepts appear at different positions across variants by design).
