What the exam tests

What to know about Generative AI Optimization

Generative AI Optimization questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.

How the topic appears in realistic exam-style scenarios.

Which detail in the question changes the correct answer.

How to eliminate plausible but wrong options.

How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.

Watch out for

Common Generative AI Optimization exam traps

▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

You are developing a RAG pipeline and notice that the model often hallucinates when retrieving documents with low relevance. Which prompt engineering technique should you implement to improve grounding?

Trap 1: Disable the system message.

Disabling the system message removes control over model behavior.

Trap 2: Increase the temperature parameter to 1.0.

High temperature increases randomness, worsening hallucinations.

Trap 3: Switch from GPT-4o to GPT-3.5 Turbo.

Smaller models are generally more prone to hallucinations in complex RAG tasks.
