Preparing for the GitHub Copilot (GH-300) exam? The official GH-300 study guide summarizes the topics the exam might cover, and Microsoft recommends that you train and get hands-on experience before you take the exam.

For GH-300, practice using Copilot thoughtfully as well as learning the concepts. Consider the fit: fix a failing test in the editor, or hand it to Copilot cloud agent, which works on GitHub and can lead to a pull request. Consider the right control: on supported surfaces, content exclusion limits Copilot's use of excluded files, while blocking suggestions that match public code filters suggestions rather than source context. Keep one instinct in mind: Copilot's output is a proposal, so review and test it before relying on it.

The guide follows the six official domains: Use GitHub Copilot features carries the largest weight (25–30%), Use GitHub Copilot responsibly comes next (15–20%), and data and architecture, developer productivity, privacy and safeguards, and prompt engineering are each weighted 10–15%. In the official study guide, the bullets under each skill illustrate how that skill is assessed, and related topics may be covered in the exam.
