600 CLAUDE ARCHITECT PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE QUESTIONS FOR CCAR-P: 4 MOCK EXAMS AND 2 DOMAIN DRILL BANKS

CCAR-P is the Claude Certified Architect Professional exam, the Claude certification for people who design Claude solutions rather than only build them, and the real exam asks 63 questions in 120 minutes and passes at 720 out of 1,000. It costs $175, Pearson VUE delivers it online or at a test centre, and a pass stays valid for 12 months. There is no mandatory prerequisite, and Anthropic recommends 3+ years of architecture experience and 6+ months running Claude in production.

This course gives you two ways to rehearse for it:

1. Full mock exams that copy the real exam's shape, and

2. Drill banks that hold you on a few domains at a time.

THE 4 MOCK EXAMS

Mock Exams 1 to 4 each follow the blueprint in Anthropic's July 2026 exam guide:

• 63 questions and a 120-minute timer, with 72% to pass, matching the real 720 out of 1,000.

• 2 architect workplaces in every mock, with about half the questions set in each.

  • Mock 1 is a regional bank's loan-operations group and a hospital network's clinical-documentation team,

  • Mock 2 a federal benefits agency and a global insurer's claims division,

  • Mock 3 a pharmaceutical company's regulatory-affairs group and a Fortune 500 retailer's customer-service organisation, and

  • Mock 4 a telecom operator's network-operations centre and a law firm's knowledge-management practice.

• Questions split by the 7 official domain weights.

  • Integration is 19%, 12 questions per mock,

  • Solution Design & Architecture 17%, 11 questions,

  • Evaluation, Testing & Optimization 16%, 10 questions,

  • Governance, Safety & Risk Management 14%, 9 questions,

  • Stakeholder Communication & Lifecycle Management 14%, 9 questions,

  • Claude Models, Prompting & Context Engineering 13%, 8 questions, and

  • Developer Productivity & Operational Enablement 7%, 4 questions.

• Single-answer and choose-two questions, with about one in five asking you to choose two.

THE 2 DOMAIN DRILL BANKS

A mock shows which domains are costing you points. A drill bank keeps you inside those domains until your results there rise.

Together with the mocks, the 600 questions follow the blueprint. Every drill question is medium or hard, so the banks are tougher than the mocks.

• Drill Bank 1, 180 questions with a 345-minute timer: Solution Design & Architecture, Integration, and Evaluation, Testing & Optimization.

• Drill Bank 2, 168 questions with a 320-minute timer: Claude Models, Prompting & Context Engineering; Governance, Safety & Risk Management; Stakeholder Communication & Lifecycle Management; and Developer Productivity & Operational Enablement.

• The banks are set in 12 more workplaces, from an energy utility's field-maintenance division and an airline's operations-control centre to a payments network's fraud-operations team and a global HR-services provider's employee helpdesk.

WHAT IS IN EVERY EXPLANATION

A score tells you where you stand. The explanation tells you how an architect thinks, and all 600 questions carry one built the same way.

For every question you get:

• A one-line takeaway you can carry into the exam.

• Why the right answer is right, and why each wrong option fails for that workplace.

• The URL of the Anthropic docs page that backs the answer, or the regulator's own page for GDPR, HIPAA and FedRAMP.

• A short note wherever the product works differently today from how the July 2026 guide describes it.

Each question asks for a decision: what to build, what not to build, which trade-off to accept, who must sign off.

Every question is written against one of the 38 objectives in the exam guide.

Every answer was fact-checked twice against Anthropic's official docs.

HOW YOU PRACTISE

Take the tests in this order:

1. Start Mock Exam 1 in practice mode, check each answer as you go, and read every explanation.

2. Open your domain results and find the domains that pulled your score down.

3. Go to the drill bank that holds them and filter by domain.

4. Sit Mocks 2 to 4 timed, in exam mode, as your rehearsals for exam day.

Every test can be retaken as many times as you like.

WHAT THIS COURSE IS NOT

It does not promise you a pass, and no honest practice test can.

It contains no real or leaked exam questions. The real ones are covered by Anthropic's NDA, and sharing them would be wrong.

WHY 200,000+ LEARNERS TRUST THIS INSTRUCTOR

I am Arun Nagarathanam.

More than 200,000 learners have taken my courses on Udemy, my Claude Code course among them.

I wrote these questions the way I build a lecture: each starts from a decision an architect really has to make with stakeholders watching, and each explanation walks through the reasoning.

THE 30-DAY GUARANTEE

If your first mock exam does not live up to this page, in its questions or in its explanations, Udemy lets you ask for a full refund within 30 days. Simple and straight forward.

WHY THE EXPLANATIONS ARE WORTH THE TIME

Claude products change quickly. Some features already work differently from how the July 2026 guide words them, and where they do, this bank follows the product as it worked in October 2026 and its note says what changed. An architect who knows which version is current avoids designing around something that no longer exists, and that is worth more than any score.

So you get 600 questions in 6 tests, a reason behind every wrong option, domain results after every attempt, and unlimited retakes.

Begin with Mock Exam 1 in practice mode, read every explanation, and let your domain results tell you which drill bank to open next.
