    Questions are very similar. Structure gives away a lot of the answers. If you train with the exam questions here you can pass easily.

    Experience & advice

    I read through the anthropic material and did some udemy mock tests and those mock tests felt easy and thought it will be same for the exam but no, it was way different and the answers and questions confuses you. After falling i come across this site and this has exam type questions which are hard. Am sure this will help you better than other mock test available. Also i don't use claude in any of my work. i gave it try without any efforts

    Task decomposition

    Experience & advice

    It wasn't hard as I already work with Claude (at a serious level) daily. Need to divide your preparation into four parts. 1. Complete the official study guide (8 modules) from Anthropic. 2. Need not watch Youtube videos/tutorials, everything is already covered in the 8 modules. Your own takeaway notes should be good. These takeaway notes are also present in towards the end of each module 3. Attempt as many mock tests as possible until the underlying patterns become your primary instinct. 4. Re-read point 3 again and again. I have used certsafari and Udemy for mock tests. Disregard any mock test which is too simplistic, as th exam will probe your instincts, not what you mugged up. Focus more on task decomposition sequences (e.g. 5-3-1-4-2).

    The questions were a bit tricky and the answer option also look very similar to each other, especially the ones where you have to choose more than one option as the answer. Most of the questions are scenario based

    Experience & advice

    there was multiple order of operations questions. for all of those questions the last two numbers were consistent across answers A-D making it hard to rule some out easily. these were by far the hardest questions on the exam. overall i have been working with these tools for a while and was able to start studying on Wednesday and pass the exam by friday. do as many of these practice questions as possible and you will recognize questions you have already answered just worded differently on the exam.

    The real exam questions were comparable to the mock questions. My coverage was about 14%, and I felt confident enough on the exam day. Other than mock quizzes, I took the official Skilljar prep courses.

    fairly easy, requires some level of hands-on experience to understand the entry points, limitations, features (plugin, artifacts, projects)

    The exam was tricky. For some of the question the answer all seems applicable but obviously only was the most relevant. Recommend reviewing any question with more than one (select two or provide order) twice.

    Model Selection

    Experience & advice

    If you are using Claude desktop in your day to day work, you can easily answer 50% of the questions. I studied using Claude itself, and then took practice from Cert safari. Aim for ~50% coverage and 90% performance before taking actual exam. For me 2 questions from this sample questions came. Even if you are a beginner, by learning using the anthropic skill jar and practicing these sample questions you can easily pass this exam.

    Experience & advice

    The exam was ok, some questions were tricky. For some of the question the answer choices were confusing and all seems applicable but obviously only was the most relevant. One need good understanding of the concept and thought process behind what is outcome expected. The question bank really helped a lot, however the questions in the exam were completely different. Overall it helped a lot. I wish others all the best.

    Experience & advice

    The exam is not easy if you're not using Claude in your day-to-day activities. I am a total beginner and have only used Github's copilot with basic chat responses for my work. As part of my org's reskilling, I was asked to complete a few Claude certifications to be AI ready and hence this looked like a good starting point. I did the complete course through Anthropic which helped me understand the core concepts and the practice tests from this site have surely helped me 10x more to fully grasp the level of questions the exam had. It didn't have any questions from this site per se, but the questions were fairly similar in the structure and the way they wanted to test a candidate. Anyone who's not sure about this site, trust me, it helps.
