Master AI & Cloud Architecture

Mock Exam & Study Simulator

A production-grade, interactive mock exam simulator designed to test your mastery of scalable LLM systems, prompt engineering, context caching, tool calling, and security governance.

Includes full review mode, timed proctor mode, and active flashcards for quick revision.

§ 02 · What this exam covers BASED ON THE PUBLISHED CCA-F BLUEPRINT

Five domains.
Six scenarios,
four drawn per sit.

The published CCA-F blueprint splits scored content into five weighted domains across the Claude Agent SDK, Claude Code, the Claude API, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Every sit draws four of six realistic production scenarios — customer support agents, code generation, multi-agent research, developer productivity, CI/CD integration, and structured data extraction. All three mocks mirror the same shape.

D1
Agentic Architecture & Orchestration
Designing the agent loop, choosing models and effort levels, orchestrating multi-step tool use with the Claude Agent SDK.
27%
D2
Tool Design & MCP Integration
Writing tools Claude can actually use: clear interfaces, prerequisite gates, and Model Context Protocol servers.
18%
D3
Claude Code Configuration & Workflows
CLAUDE.md, skills, hooks, slash commands, subagents, and plan mode — configuring Claude Code for teams and CI/CD.
20%
D4
Prompt Engineering & Structured Output
System prompts, few-shot examples, JSON-schema outputs, self-critique, and getting reliable structure from the model.
20%
D5
Context Management & Reliability
Progressive summarization, persistent facts, error handling at the right layer, and reliable agent runs under load.
