Passed Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (781/1000)

Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to Claude, and last month (September 2026), I completed the CCAO-F exam after preparing for about two weeks. Immediately after that, I started preparing for CCAF, without taking any break. Honestly, I found CCAF quite challenging. The questions were confusing, and since I don't have much hands-on experience with Claude due to the API costs, I wasn't very confident going into the exam. At one point, I had almost given up on passing and was mentally preparing myself for a retake. To my surprise, I passed with a score of 781. It's not the highest score, but a pass is a pass Resources I used: CertSafari practice questions : certsafari.com/anthropic/claude-certified-architect-foundations My biggest recommendation is to complete all the practice questions. They will DEFINITELY help you prepare for the exam. YouTube playlist : youtube.com/watch Useful for brushing up on concepts and reinforcing your understanding. CyberSkill practice platform : practice.cyberskill.world/practice Another practice resource to explore while preparing for the exam. This video will give you an insight on how things work in real world - youtube.com/watch Don't underestimate this exam. The questions can be tricky, especially if you don't have much hands-on experience with Claude. Make sure you understand the concepts rather than just memorising answers, and practice as many questions as possible. Thought this might help anyone who's having doubts of giving an exam without any actual experience. Let me know if any questions. Good luck everyone!
