How to Pass the GARP RAI Exam

The GARP Risk and AI (RAI) exam covers core AI concepts and the risk-management discipline needed to evaluate AI systems in practice. Success typically comes from a structured plan: master the official curriculum modules, practice under time constraints, and develop the judgment to identify AI risks, controls, and governance gaps.

1. Essential Study Strategies

1.1 Create a Study Plan & Stick to It

  • Plan for ~100–130 hours of total preparation (adjust based on your background).

  • Break study into weekly targets (modules + practice + review).

  • Use short daily reviews (15–30 minutes) to reinforce definitions and frameworks.

  • Reserve the final 1–2 weeks for timed sets and full review of weak areas.

1.2 Focus on the GARP RAI Curriculum

  • Study the examinable modules end-to-end:

  • AI & Risk: Intro and Overview

  • Tools and Techniques

  • Risks and Risk Factors

  • Responsible and Ethical AI

  • Data and AI Model Governance

  • Learn the “why” behind each concept (what can go wrong, how it’s detected, and which control mitigates it).

  • Build a one-page summary per module: key terms, risk drivers, and governance actions.

1.3 Use Practice Questions & Mock Exams

  • Start practice early (don’t wait until you “finish” the syllabus).

  • Do timed mini-sets (10–20 questions) and review every miss.

  • Keep an error log by category (e.g., bias/fairness, governance, drift, data quality).

  • Re-test weak areas until accuracy is consistent—not just once.

2. Exam-Day Strategies for Success

2.1 Time Management During the Exam

  • You have 80 questions in 4 hours—use a steady pace and protect time for review.

  • Use a two-pass approach:

  • Pass 1: answer what you know quickly; flag uncertain questions.

  • Pass 2: return to flagged items with remaining time.

2.2 Master Exam Question Formats

  • Read the last line first (“What are they really asking?”).

  • Eliminate clearly incorrect options before choosing between the best remaining answers.

  • When unsure, choose the option most aligned with risk governance, controls, monitoring, and accountability.

2.3 Stay Calm & Maintain Focus

  • Avoid last-minute cramming—prioritize sleep and a clear head.

  • If a question stalls you, flag and move on (momentum matters).

  • Re-check flagged items at the end for misreads and wording traps.
