A 60-item, blueprint-weighted practice exam for the Claude Certified Associate – Foundations credential, with full explanations and an answer key.

import PracticeExam from '../../../components/PracticeExam.astro';


This is a full-length, blueprint-weighted practice exam for **CCAO-F**. All 60 questions are new and do not repeat the domain-page items.

## Instructions

- **Time:** 120 minutes, matching the real exam.
- **Items:** 60, multiple-choice and multiple-response. Each item states how many answers to select.
- **Scoring:** scaled 100–1000, pass **720/1000**. There is no guessing penalty. As a rough guide, **aim for ≥ 80% raw** (≈ 48/60) before sitting the real exam.
- **Rule:** answer every question. For multiple-response items you must select all correct options and no incorrect ones.
- Work each question before expanding the answer.

## Domain distribution

| # | Domain | Weight | Items here |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Prompting and Task Execution | 14% | 8 |
| 2 | Output Evaluation and Validation | 21% | 13 |
| 3 | Product and Model Selection | 12% | 7 |
| 4 | Workflow Integration and Solution Design | 16% | 10 |
| 5 | Configuration and Knowledge Management | 12% | 7 |
| 6 | Governance, Risk, and Responsible Use | 15% | 9 |
| 7 | Troubleshooting and Optimization | 10% | 6 |

Total: 8 + 13 + 7 + 10 + 7 + 9 + 6 = **60 items**.

## Score interpretation

| Raw score (of 60) | Approx. scaled | Interpretation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 54–60 | 900–1000 | Exam-ready; strong across all domains |
| 48–53 | 800–890 | Solid pass zone; review weak domains |
| 43–47 | 720–790 | Marginal pass; targeted revision advised |
| 36–42 | 600–710 | Below pass; revisit heavy domains (D2, D4, D6) |
| < 36 | < 600 | Study all domains before re-attempting |

Pass mark is **720/1000** (≈ 43/60 raw), but aim for **≥ 48/60** in practice to leave a safety margin.

## Take the practice exam

Two ways to use the questions below: the **interactive mode** runs a timed sitting one question at a time and ends with your score, a per-domain breakdown and a full correction; the **review mode** underneath lists every question with its options one per line and the answer hidden until you ask for it.
