- A
Ignore correlated features to simplify the model.
Why wrong: Correlated features can be handled but not ignored.
- B
Clean the data to handle missing values and outliers.
Data cleaning improves model accuracy.
- C
Select relevant features that are likely to influence the prediction.
Feature selection reduces overfitting and improves performance.
- D
Include all available fields in the dataset for maximum information.
Why wrong: Including all fields can introduce noise and overfitting.
- E
Use the default field mapping without review.
Why wrong: Reviewing mapping ensures correct data usage.

AI Associate Practice Question: Which TWO actions are best practices when…
This AI Associate practice question tests your understanding of ai associate exam topics. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO actions are best practices when implementing Einstein Prediction Service?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue:
"best"Why it matters: Signals that multiple options may be partially correct. Choose the option that most directly solves the exact problem described, not the one that sounds most complete.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Clean the data to handle missing values and outliers.
Option B is correct because data quality directly impacts the accuracy and reliability of Einstein Prediction Service models. Cleaning data to handle missing values and outliers ensures that the training data is representative and reduces the risk of skewed predictions, which is a fundamental prerequisite for any machine learning model within Salesforce's AI framework.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Salesforce often tests the misconception that more data always leads to better predictions, but in practice, irrelevant or noisy features degrade model performance, making feature selection and data cleaning critical.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Einstein Prediction Service uses automated machine learning (AutoML) to train models, but it relies on the quality and relevance of input data. Under the hood, the service applies techniques like feature engineering and model tuning, but it cannot compensate for systematic data issues such as missing values or irrelevant fields. In a real-world scenario, a sales prediction model trained on uncleaned data with outliers (e.g., extreme deal amounts) might overemphasize those anomalies, leading to poor generalization on typical sales data.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the AI Associate exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
