Frequently asked questions

Is Certification Practice really free?
Yes. Every practice test, randomized mock exam, study-mode explanation, and the resource center is free. You sign in with an email code (no password, no credit card) so your results are saved between sessions.
What is the difference between CCA-F and CCA-P?
CCA-F (Claude Certified Architect – Foundations) tests implementation skills: agents, tool design and MCP, Claude Code, prompting and structured output, and context management. CCA-P (Professional) sits above it and tests architect-level judgment: solution design, enterprise integration, evaluation, governance and safety, stakeholder communication, and team enablement. Most people take Foundations first.
How many questions are on the CCA-F exam, and what is the passing score?
The Foundations exam has 60 questions with a 120-minute time limit. It uses a scaled passing score of 720 out of 1,000 (scaled), costs $125 USD, and the credential is valid for 12 months.
How many questions are on the CCA-P exam?
The Professional exam has 63 questions with a 120-minute time limit, a scaled passing score of 720 out of 1,000 (scaled), and costs $175 USD. It mixes multiple-choice and multiple-response items.
Is it CCA-F or CCAR-F? Which is the real exam code?
They are the same exam. CCAR-F is the exam code used in Anthropic's official exam guide and by Pearson VUE; CCA-F is the shorthand most candidates use. Likewise CCAR-P and CCA-P refer to the same Professional exam.
Are these the real Claude Certified Architect exam questions?
No. Our bank of 495 questions is original, written and reviewed against the domains and blueprint weights in Anthropic's official exam guides, with an explanation for every option. It is practice, not a braindump, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
Can I try sample questions without signing in?
Yes. The home page and each exam guide include free sample questions you can answer and check without an account, complete with the explanation and deep dive. Signing in (free) unlocks the full bank, timed mock exams, and saved results.
How do the randomized mock exams work?
Each randomized exam samples fresh questions from the whole bank in proportion to the official blueprint weights, so every attempt is different and the domain mix matches the real exam. Study mode shows the correct answer, the reasoning behind every option, and links to learn more as you go.
