No Hands-On Experience, Two Weeks of Prep: I Passed Claude Certified Architect With 781

A Claude newcomer shares how they passed Anthropic's Claude Certified Architect - Foundations (CCAF) exam with 781/1000, after finishing CCAO-F in September and immediately starting CCAF prep for about two weeks.
The author admits CCAF was tough: questions were confusing, and with little hands-on Claude experience due to API costs, they nearly gave up and prepared for a retake. Recommended resources:
- CertSafari practice questions — the top recommendation; completing all of them helped most
- A YouTube playlist — useful for brushing up on concepts
- CyberSkill practice platform — another practice source
- Plus a video showing how things work in the real world
Key advice: don't underestimate the exam, questions can be tricky, understand concepts rather than memorizing answers, and practice as many questions as possible.
