I just passed the Salesforce Certified AI Associate exam. The exam is only 40 questions and costs only $75 US Dollars, so why not?
Of all the Salesforce certification tests I have taken, this was honestly the easiest. But, you should still prepare. As long as you use this Trailhead Trailmix, you should be fine.
I went through the majority of the trailmix. The Modules are good, but I suggest studying these docs specifically:
- What is Generative AI
- Generative AI Guidelines
- Generative AI Glossary
- Salesforce Trusted AI Principle
- AI Ethics Maturity Model
- Is your Data AI-Ready
- Data Management Best Practice Guide
- Determine Data Requirements
- Data Quality Dimensions
Good luck as your prepare for the exam, but don’t think you need a data science degree or math training to do it. You don’t.

I am preparing for this exam also, thanks a million Sara for this summary and your thoughts, super useful!!!
Your welcome. If you review those docs I put links to thoroughly, you should be fine. There is plenty of time and there are only 3 choices, so also just use common sense.
