The exam
- 60 scenario-based multiple-choice questions (one of four), drawn from four of six scenarios.
- 120 minutes — about two minutes per question.
- Scored 100–1,000; pass at 720.
- Taken through Pearson OnVUE (online) or a test center, closed-book — no notes and no Claude.
- No mandatory prerequisites.
What changed on 30 June 2026
Anthropic moved the exam onto Pearson VUE. The exam content and domains are unchanged; the policies around it are new.
| Before | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Fee | US$99 | US$125 |
| Attempts | One, no retake | up to 4 per rolling 12 months |
| Retake waits | — | 14 days after the first fail, 30 after the second, 90 after the third (full fee each time) |
| Validity | No fixed term stated | 12 months |
| Renewal | Not clearly defined | free non-proctored assessment if renewed on time; a lapsed certification needs the full proctored exam again |
| Practice exam | Yes | Removed — sample questions with explanations only |
| Delivery | Online proctoring on Anthropic's platform | Pearson OnVUE or a test center |
Because the full practice exam is gone, there is no scored dry run — which makes hands-on preparation more important. Our workshop includes a practice portal with a 60-question practice exam.
