Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCAF) Exam Guide

I'm certified as a Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (exam code CCAR-F, also called CCAF), and I'm sharing the free learning material and mock exams I built while preparing for it.

This repo has two things:

1. A study guide — plain-English explanations of everything on the exam blueprint, with worked examples and practice questions
2. Mock exams — 6 full-length, timed practice exams (360 questions total) with complete answer keys

Take the mock exams interactively: Interactive Mock Exam Player — all 6 exams, with a countdown timer, a question map, and instant scoring (per-scenario and per-domain breakdown, plus rationale review).

Built from Anthropic's official CCAR-F Exam Guide — read that in full before scheduling your exam; it's the only authoritative source on policy, scoring, and blueprint changes. This repo contains no leaked or reproduced exam questions — see CONTRIBUTING.md for the rule that keeps it that way.
