FAQ
Quick answers for candidates preparing with explainx mock exams (not Anthropic support).
- What is the Claude Certified Architect Foundations exam?
- Anthropic's ~301-level proctored certification for solution architects building production apps with Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, MCP, and structured output. The official exam has 60 multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, four scenario frames per sitting, and a scaled pass score of 720/1000.
- What domains are on the Claude Certified Architect exam?
- Five weighted areas: Agentic Architecture & Orchestration (27%), Tool Design & MCP Integration (18%), Claude Code Configuration & Workflows (20%), Prompt Engineering & Structured Output (20%), and Context Management & Reliability (15%).
- Are explainx mock tests the official Anthropic exam?
- No. explainx.ai offers independent practice mock tests aligned to the public Foundations Exam Guide domains, task statements, and scenarios. Official registration and proctoring are through Anthropic Academy / Skilljar.
- How much does lifetime practice access cost on explainx?
- Lifetime access to all Claude Certified Architect mock tests on explainx.ai is $5 USD (one-time). Each attempt draws a shuffled subset from a bank of 1,000+ practice questions with explanations after submit.
- Do I need to sign in to run mock tests?
- You can browse certification and test pages without an account. Starting a timed mock test requires signing in and purchasing lifetime practice access for that program.
- How many practice questions and mock tests are available?
- Eight mock tests including a 60-question full exam simulation, plus 1,000+ banked multiple-choice items across agentic architecture, MCP, Claude Code, prompt engineering, and context management.
- What scenarios do explainx practice questions use?
- Questions mirror the six official production scenarios: customer support agents, Claude Code development, multi-agent research, developer productivity, CI/CD with Claude Code, and structured data extraction.
- How do I prepare for the official exam vs explainx mocks?
- Use Anthropic's Foundations Exam Guide and Academy courses for the proctored exam. Use explainx mock tests for timed MCQ practice, domain drills, and instant feedback — especially scenario-framed items and tradeoff questions.
