GH-200 Practice Test

GitHub Actions Associate

GH-200 tests whether you can actually run GitHub Actions in production — matrix builds, reusable workflows, self-hosted runners, and OIDC — not just recite YAML syntax.

Our 500 scenario-based questions cover the full GH-200 blueprint across five domains: authoring and managing workflows (triggers, matrix strategy, contexts, expressions), consuming and troubleshooting workflows (logs, reusable workflows, starter workflows), authoring and maintaining actions (JavaScript/Docker/composite actions, versioning, Marketplace distribution), managing GitHub Actions for the enterprise (runner groups, org policies, secrets and variables at scale), and securing and optimizing automation (OIDC, GITHUB_TOKEN scoping, SHA pinning, immutable actions, artifact attestations). Every question is grounded against live GitHub and Microsoft Learn documentation, including current 2026 material like immutable action releases and Windows Server 2025 runner migration.

Why Practice with MSCertQuiz?

Microsoft Learn teaches concepts. We prepare you for the actual exam.

1

Deep coverage of the security domain most candidates underestimate: OIDC federation, GITHUB_TOKEN lifecycle and scoping, SHA-pinning third-party actions, and the 2026 immutable-actions enforcement on hosted runners

2

Real matrix-strategy and reusable-workflow scenarios (fail-fast, max-parallel, workflow_call inputs/secrets, nested reusable workflow limits) — the operational details that separate hands-on practitioners from YAML memorizers

3

Enterprise-scale content most free question banks skip entirely: runner groups, IP allow lists, org-level action allow/deny policies, and secrets scoped at org/repo/environment levels

4

Every question verified against a live-fetched GitHub Learn or Docs page before it ships, so content stays accurate as GitHub Actions features keep shipping

What Our Users Say

“The OIDC and GITHUB_TOKEN scoping questions were exactly what tripped me up on a first read of the docs. Practicing scenario after scenario here made the security domain click before exam day.”

GH-200 Certified

“I write workflows daily but had never touched runner groups or org-level action policies. The enterprise-governance questions filled real gaps in my knowledge. Passed on my first attempt.”

SR

Sara R.

DevOps Engineer

“Matrix strategy and reusable workflow questions were much closer to real production patterns than anything else I tried. The explanations actually taught the reasoning, not just the answer.”

GH-200 Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the GH-200 GitHub Actions certification

What is GH-200?
GH-200 (GitHub Actions) is Microsoft and GitHub's Associate-level certification validating the ability to automate software development workflows with GitHub Actions — authoring and maintaining workflows and custom actions, managing GitHub Actions at organization and enterprise scale, and securing and optimizing automation for production use.
How much does the GH-200 exam cost and how long is it?
The GH-200 exam costs $99 USD, runs approximately 100 minutes, and has a passing score of 700 out of 1000. Exact duration and question count are set by Microsoft/GitHub at scheduling time — confirm current figures on the official certification page before booking.
What is the passing score for GH-200?
The passing score for GH-200 is 700 out of 1000, the same threshold used across nearly all Microsoft role-based certification exams. Scoring is scaled, so 700 represents roughly 70% competency spread across all five exam domains rather than a simple raw percentage.
What topics are covered on GH-200?
GH-200 covers five domains: Author and manage workflows (20-25%) — triggers, jobs/steps, matrix strategy, contexts, and expressions; Consume and troubleshoot workflows (15-20%) — logs, run history, reusable and starter workflow templates; Author and maintain actions (15-20%) — JavaScript, Docker, and composite actions, versioning, and Marketplace distribution; Manage GitHub Actions for the enterprise (20-25%) — reusable components, runner groups, and org-level secrets/policies; and Secure and optimize automation (10-15%) — OIDC, GITHUB_TOKEN scoping, action pinning, immutable releases, and artifact attestations.
How hard is GH-200?
GH-200 is a scenario-heavy Associate exam that expects hands-on experience, not just familiarity with workflow YAML syntax. Candidates who have only used the basics of GitHub Actions (simple CI on push) often find the enterprise-governance and security domains — runner groups, OIDC federation, and immutable-actions enforcement — the hardest sections, since they require operational experience most personal projects never exercise.
How long should I study for GH-200?
Candidates already running GitHub Actions in production, with real experience configuring reusable workflows and self-hosted runners, should plan 3-5 weeks, focused on the security and enterprise-governance domains. Candidates newer to GitHub Actions should plan 6-8 weeks. We recommend working through GitHub's own documentation first, then practicing with 500 scenario-based questions spread across all five domains in proportion to their exam weight.
What are the prerequisites for GH-200?
There are no enforced prerequisites to register for GH-200, but it is designed for candidates who already work with GitHub repositories, CI/CD concepts, and basic YAML day-to-day. Hands-on experience authoring and running real workflows — not just reading about GitHub Actions — is strongly recommended given how scenario-heavy the exam is.
Who should take GH-200?
GH-200 is aimed at developers, DevOps engineers, and platform/release engineers who build and operate CI/CD automation on GitHub — writing workflows and custom actions, and increasingly governing Actions usage across an organization or enterprise. It pairs well with GH-900 (GitHub Foundations) as a starting point and AZ-400 (Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions) for candidates aiming at a broader Expert-level DevOps role.
