What the quiz covers
This quiz is for students, developers and anyone using ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini at work who wants to check they understand how prompting actually works. The 25 questions are grouped into 5 areas, shown above each question: Basics, Techniques, Structure & format, Reliability, Safety & evaluation.
A sample question explained
"Which technique most reduces made-up facts when answering about your own documents?" The answer is Provide the relevant text and tell the model to answer only from it, saying when the answer isn't there. Grounding answers in supplied text, with permission to say "I don't know", cuts unsupported claims. Grounding plus permission to say "I don't know" is one of the most effective habits in prompting.

Study tips
- Rewrite one of your own prompts with a role, audience and format, and compare the answers side by side.
- Keep a small set of test inputs for any prompt you use repeatedly.
- Aim for at least 20 out of 25 on two separate attempts before you treat prompt engineering as revised; one lucky score can hide gaps.
Questions and options are shuffled on each attempt, so a retake is a fresh test. The prompt engineering questions were written by Uncodemy for practice; they aren't copied from any exam or company test.
