Anthropic Claude Certified Architect - Professional Sample Questions:

Question #1
You are classifying chunking strategies by the corpus type each is best suited to.
For each chunking strategy, select the appropriate corpus type: "Long Structured Documents,"
"Heterogeneous Short Records," or "Code or Hierarchical Specifications."

Question #2
You are evaluating a Claude-based deployment for adherence to a specific regulation.
Which two steps must be completed BEFORE mapping deployment data flows to specific regulatory clauses?
(Select two.)
Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

A. Compare the in-place controls against the regulatory requirements to identify any compliance gaps.
B. Document the identified gaps along with recommended remediations and residual risk for sign-off.
C. Identify the applicability of the regulation based on data types, jurisdiction, and audience.
D. Inventory the vendor-provided compliance tooling and confirm which compliance affordances are in place.
E. Schedule the remediation work with the engineering team based on the prioritized gap findings.

Question #3
You are configuring Claude Code for a team that needs every engineer to share the same MCP server set, permission rules, and project context across the engineering monorepo.
Which configuration scope best supports this requirement?

A. Project scope, with the configuration committed to the repository so every engineer working in the project receives the same MCP servers, permissions, and context.
B. Local scope configured only on the lead architect's machine, with no configuration present on other engineers' machines and no mechanism to distribute MCP servers or permission rules.
C. User scope configured individually on each engineer's machine, with no shared configuration committed to the repository and no guarantee of consistency across the team.
D. User scope, with the MCP server definitions and permission rules placed in each engineer's ~/.claude
/settings.json and synchronized manually through a shared setup script outside version control.

Question #4
You are building an ethics review checklist for deployments supported by artificial intelligence (AI). Which two checks belong on the list? (Select two.) Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

A. Confirm that high-impact decisions retain human accountability rather than being attributed to the model.
B. Verify that outputs do not rely on generalizations about people that the underlying data does not support.
C. Confirm that vendor licensing terms permit the planned production use of the model.
D. Restrict the ethics review to outputs that exceed a defined model-confidence threshold.
E. Confirm that latency and throughput targets are met across the supported user populations.

Question #5
You are documenting an architectural decision to support future audit and onboarding.
Which artifact is the strongest fit?

A. A short verbal note shared during a hallway conversation with no written record.
B. A slide deck in a presentation folder with no accompanying written rationale.
C. An Architecture Decision Record that states the context, the decision, the alternatives considered, the consequences, and the date and authors.
D. A code comment in a single file that contains an opinion of one engineer.
