The AI-901 passing score is 700 or greater, on a scaled score from 1 to 1,000.
It is a scaled score, so 700 may not equal 70% of the points.

No, the AI-901 bundle contains no exam questions, and every practice question is original.
Microsoft's free pages set out what the AI-901 exam covers. The AI-901 bundle adds a 50-page study guide that covers every exam domain, and two practice exams with 100 original questions, every answer explained. When Microsoft revises the exam, a new edition follows if the changes warrant it, included while your access lasts. Take Microsoft's AI-901 practice assessment as well; none of the bundle's questions come from it.
Updates to the AI-901 bundle arrive as new editions. Every bundle includes 6 months of access: download the PDFs, and any new editions, until 6 months after your purchase date. Download each new edition at overqual.com/download with the license key from your receipt email. The change log on the exam facts page says what changed.

No, the AI-901 bundle covers AI-901, not AI-900. AI-900 retired on Jun 30, 2026, and the guide says what changed from AI-900.
Three PDFs, 90 pages: the study guide and two practice exams.
Microsoft Foundry and what the AI-901 skills outline names in it: the Foundry portal and SDK, single agents, text analysis, Azure Speech and Azure Content Understanding. The outline asks you to build lightweight apps with them, and Microsoft expects knowledge of Python coding syntax.
