Frequently asked questions

From the official exam guide

What is the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations exam?

It is Anthropic's certification (often shortened to CCA-F or CCAR-F) for architects who design and build production applications with Claude. The target candidate typically has 6+ months of hands-on experience with the Claude API, the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

What score do you need to pass?

Results are reported as a scaled score from 100 to 1,000, and the minimum passing score is 720. The exam is pass/fail, scored against a minimum standard.

What domains does the exam cover?

Five domains: Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (27%), Tool Design & MCP Integration (18%), Claude Code Configuration & Workflows (20%), Prompt Engineering & Structured Output (20%), and Context Management & Reliability (15%).

What are the questions like?

All questions are multiple choice with one correct answer, grounded in realistic production scenarios. Four scenarios are picked at random from a set of six, such as a customer support agent, a multi-agent research system, and Claude Code in CI. Unanswered questions count as wrong and there is no penalty for guessing, so answer everything.

How should I prepare?

Take a full mock cold to get a baseline, study your two weakest domains, then take a second mock under exam conditions. Hands-on time with Claude Code, the Agent SDK and MCP matters more than memorisation.

What do I get with CCA Pro?

Three full-length mocks of 60 questions each, scored on the 100–1000 scale with a per-domain breakdown and every answer explained; study notes for all five domains mapped to the official exam guide; and 100 flashcards. It is a one-time $49 purchase with lifetime access and free updates.

Is there a free version?

Yes. The 10-question free quiz needs no sign-up and shows the answer and explanation as you go. There is also an open-source practice exam on GitHub.

Is CCA Pro affiliated with Anthropic?

No. CCA Pro is an independent, unofficial study resource written by Hamza Farooq, who scored 900/1000 on the exam. All questions are original, not real exam items.
