Could you pass the Claude Architect exam?
Four questions, ~3 minutes, drawn fresh from a bank of 400+ across the five Anthropic CCA-F domains - agentic architectures, tool design, agent operations, prompt engineering, and context + reliability. One easy starter, two applied scenarios, one edge case at the end. You'll get a personalised 2-week study plan based on what you miss.
Each visit shows a different 4-question sample so you can come back as often as you like and never see the same set twice.
What the CCA-F actually tests
The exam is 60 questions in 120 minutes, 720 of 1000 to pass, with a 3-attempt lifetime cap. Five weighted domains. The quick check above samples from the four highest-weighted (skipping context + reliability for length).
Agentic architectures
Loop control, subagent isolation, the 18-tool degradation cliff, CLAUDE.md hierarchy.
Agent operations
tool_choice routing, stop_reason handshakes, human-in-the-loop escalation, hooks.
Prompt engineering
Structured output via tool-use, few-shot with XML, attention engineering, the 4D framework.
Tool design and integration
Tool composition, MCP as protocol boundary, tool description routing, anti-patterns.
Context and reliability
Context-window management, prompt caching, session state, evaluation.
