GitHub GH-300 exam guide covering prompts, IDE flow, code completion, and productivity decisions.
This GitHub Copilot guide helps GH-300 candidates focus on what the exam tests, where close answers usually split, and which review page to use next.
Use the study plan to group permissions, workflow, and security choices, the cheat sheet for workflow recall, the sample questions for explanation-heavy practice, the FAQ for scope checks, the resources page for GitHub exam references, and the glossary when feature names blur together.

| Lane | What to master | Common weak answer |
|---|---|---|
| Prompting and context | Guide Copilot with clear intent, selected code, tests, comments, and repository context. | Expecting useful output from vague prompts and missing project constraints. |
| Code review and validation | Inspect generated code for correctness, security, style, licensing, tests, and maintainability. | Accepting generated code without reading, testing, and reviewing it. |
| Enterprise policy | Understand enablement, exclusions, data controls, content filters, telemetry, and usage governance. | Letting AI assistance bypass normal code policy. |
| Developer workflow | Use chat, completions, PR summaries, test generation, explanations, and troubleshooting help appropriately. | Using Copilot as authority instead of assistant. |
| Security and responsibility | Handle secrets, sensitive data, vulnerable patterns, and human accountability. | Pasting confidential data into prompts or trusting insecure suggestions. |
Copilot questions reward responsible use: give context, validate output, protect data, and keep humans accountable.
