How to use it
1
Measure before you studyA weighted mock gives you a number per domain. Without that, studying is guesswork.
2
Memorise with cards, understand with notesCards fix the rote material in short sessions. When one doesn't add up, go to the notes for the why.
3
Check yourself with the simulatorThe options are shuffled on every appearance, so position is never a clue and the same item looks different on each pass.
4
Don't sit the exam until you are above 85%The real cut is 720 out of 1000 and the conversion is not linear. Leave yourself a margin.
The four exams
| Code | Credential | Items | Distinctive trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCAO-F | Associate – Foundations | 60 | An exam of business judgement, not a technical one |
| CCDV-F | Developer – Foundations | 53 | The only one whose guide publishes weights per skill |
| CCAR-F | Architect – Foundations | 60 | Presents four scenarios from a bank of six |
| CCAR-P | Architect – Professional | 63 | The broadest: RAG, evals, governance, stakeholders |
All four last 120 minutes, pass at 720 on a scale of 100 to 1,000 and expire after 12 months. They are registered with Anthropic Partner Academy and delivered by Pearson VUE.
What this is and what it isn't
What it is. Study material written from scratch against the objectives Anthropic publishes in its exam guides, and verified against live public documentation. Every item links the source it rests on, so you can check it rather than believe it.
What it isn't. It isn't a dump of real questions, it doesn't reproduce the exam bank and it isn't affiliated with Anthropic. Anyone selling you real questions is selling you something that breaks the NDA you sign before you start, and that is usually out of date too.
An honest warning. Anthropic's documentation is rewritten fast. Several practices that courses still teach are already deprecated, and this material tries to flag them, but it ages too. Before you rely on a specific fact, check it against the linked source.
Contributing
The item bank and the cards live in two JSON files in the repository. If you find an error, an out-of-date fact or you want to add items, open an issue or a pull request. The one hard rule: no item goes in without an official URL backing it, and none may come from the real exam.
