Rubric

Free · building now · first exams early 2027

Know exactly what to study next.

Rubric is a free library of mock exams and lessons for AI and cloud certifications. Every question is written from the published exam blueprint and cites the documentation behind its answer — and every result tells you which objective to go and fix.

Readiness by objective

Example

AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01) — after one mock exam

Applications of foundation models28% of exam
Fundamentals of generative AI24% of exam
Fundamentals of AI and ML20% of exam
Guidelines for responsible AI14% of exam
Security, compliance and governance14% of exam

Start with security, compliance and governance — weakest objective, and 14% of the paper.

Why build another one

Practice questions are free and infinite. Trustworthy ones aren’t.

There is no shortage of free question banks. There is a shortage of ones you can verify, and that gap is the whole reason this exists.

Volume stopped being the point

Tens of thousands of free practice questions already exist across every vendor. Generating more is a solved problem, and a solved problem is not worth paying for.

Nobody signs their work

Most free banks are generated in bulk with no stated review process, no named reviewer and no source for any answer. Studying a confidently wrong explanation is worse than not studying at all.

Blueprints move quietly

Vendors revise objectives and retire whole exams with little warning. A question bank with no date on it is a question bank you have no way to trust.

How every item is made

Three gates, in order, with no exceptions.

An item that fails any one of these does not get published. That is the entire editorial policy.

Mapped

To an objective, not a topic

Every item is written against a specific line of the vendor’s published exam guide. That mapping is what lets a result name the objective to go and fix, instead of handing you one number.

Sourced

Cited, and signed

Each answer carries a link to the public documentation that supports it, and the name of the person who checked it. If it can’t be cited, it doesn’t get published.

Dated

Checked against the live blueprint

Every item and lesson shows when it was last verified. When a vendor revises an exam, the affected pages get flagged — rather than quietly left wrong.

The first nine

Where it starts.

Guide pages first, then mock exams. More vendors follow — these are the ones whose blueprints have already been read end to end.

The model

Free is the product. Paid is the shortcut.

Always free

Mock exams, lessons and guides

Every vendor, every objective. No account needed to read a guide page, and no paywall in front of practice.

This is not a trial or a teaser. It is the part that has to be good on its own.

Video courses

Taught end to end, priced for India, and — the expensive part — kept current as the exams change.

If the free half isn’t useful without the paid half, the paid half doesn’t deserve your money.

Where the questions come from

Written from the blueprint. Never from the exam.

Rubric does not reproduce real exam questions, and does not accept them from anyone. Every item is written from the vendor’s published exam guide, which states the objectives, weightings and formats — facts that are public and meant to be used.

An item that tests the same competence, at the same difficulty, in the same format, is original work. An item recalled from a live exam is a breach of the vendor’s agreement and of the candidate who sat it. There is no version of this site that carries the second kind.

A provenance record is kept for every item and a written attestation from every author. The full methodology will be published before the first exam goes live.

Get told once

The first exams land early 2027.

Leave an address and you’ll hear when they do. That’s the only thing this list is for.
