This is a free, practitioner-built study guide for the IAPP AIGP exam. It gives you a week-by-week plan, the resources worth your time, a breakdown of what to study, and 200 free scenario-based practice questions. I built the AIGP Playbook around the exact method I used to score 475/500, so you can treat this page as your study guide and the practice quiz as your mock exam.
Your free study kit: this guide (the study plan) + the AIGP Playbook practice quiz (200 questions with explanations). No payment needed to start.
Passing the AIGP is not about memorising definitions. The exam is scenario-based: it tests whether you can apply the right framework or regulation to a realistic situation. So the method that works is read, then practice, then close the gaps. Read a domain, attempt practice questions on it, and let the questions you get wrong tell you what to re-read. Repeat until the wrong answers dry up.
The EU AI Act is the most heavily tested topic. Start here.
You must distinguish the major frameworks in scenario questions.
Governance in practice: risk management, the AI lifecycle, and assessments.
Switch from learning to testing.
The exam spans several domains. Make sure you can apply, not just recognise, each:
