Common Questions
Quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about taking the AI CRED assessment.
Can I pause the assessment?
No, the assessment cannot be paused.
Once you start, you need to complete all 6 sections in one session. There is no save-and-continue feature. If you need to step away, the session will remain open, but we recommend completing it in one sitting for the best experience and most accurate results.
Plan for approximately 30 minutes of uninterrupted time before starting.
What if I get disconnected?
Your session continues on our servers.
If you lose internet connection temporarily, try refreshing the page when you reconnect. Your conversation history is saved on our servers. However, extended disconnections (more than a few minutes) may cause issues with the session state.
If you cannot recover your session, the credit is considered used. Contact support if you experience technical issues.
Can I redo my answers?
No, you cannot go back and change answers.
The assessment is a forward-flowing conversation. Once you submit a response, you cannot edit it. This mirrors real-world AI interactions where your prompts and responses are part of an ongoing dialogue. The AI evaluator considers the full context of your conversation.
Take a moment to review your response before hitting send. There is no time pressure.
How is this different from quizzes?
It measures real fluency, not memorization.
Traditional quizzes test whether you can recall specific facts or choose correct answers. AI CRED evaluates how you actually work with AI through natural conversation. There are no multiple-choice questions, no right/wrong answers to memorize. Instead, the AI assesses your practical experience, reasoning, and adaptability.
Think of it as a professional conversation about AI, not a test you can study for.
More Quick Answers
What if I do not know an answer?
Be honest. Saying "I don't know" or "I haven't used that" is perfectly acceptable and shows self-awareness. The assessment adapts to your level, and admitting knowledge gaps is better than guessing.
Can I use AI tools during the assessment?
No. Using ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools during your assessment defeats the purpose and will likely result in an inaccurate score. The assessment is designed to measure your authentic fluency.
How long until I get my results?
Immediately. As soon as you complete the assessment, your scores are calculated and displayed. You can view detailed breakdowns across all competencies right away.
Can I retake the assessment?
Yes, as many times as you want. Each assessment costs 1 credit. Many users retake periodically to track improvement. Your score history is saved so you can see your progress over time.
What happens if my score goes down?
That is normal and expected. AI CRED is an honest measurement. If your skills have not been practiced, or if AI has evolved beyond your current knowledge, your score reflects that reality. It is motivation to keep learning.
