Free Claude Certified Architect - Professional Practice Questions

A.  

Narrow the evaluation set to a single demographic subgroup to simplify score interpretation.

B.  

Continue using the narrow evaluation set drawn from one region and one tenure band because the existing benchmark scores are already high on that subset.

C.  

Expand the evaluation set to cover the geographic regions and tenure bands the tool will serve, and rescore the system on the expanded set before broader release.

D.  

Replace quantitative evaluation with qualitative impressions from a small pilot group.

A.  

A slide deck in a presentation folder with no accompanying written rationale.

B.  

A code comment in a single file that contains an opinion of one engineer.

C.  

An Architecture Decision Record that states the context, the decision, the alternatives considered, the consequences, and the date and authors.

D.  

A short verbal note shared during a hallway conversation with no written record.

A.  

Recognize the first-run permission grant as the cause, document the expected behavior in onboarding guidance, and confirm that subsequent runs succeed.

B.  

Reinstall the operating system to clear all permission state without first confirming whether the one-time permission grant caused the failure.

C.  

Disable operating-system permission dialogs entirely, accept the resulting security implications, and proceed without confirming whether the failure recurs.

D.  

Treat the first-run failure as a permanent fault, replace the MCP server, and do not verify whether subsequent runs succeed.

A.  

Present measured p50 and p95 latency baselines against the agreed SLA thresholds so stakeholders have accurate data.

B.  

Pause all development and reallocate engineering resources entirely to latency optimization.

C.  

Communicate that latency concerns are a known LLM limitation and outside the architecture team’s control.

D.  

Replace the current Claude model with a third-party model that may offer lower latency without evaluation.

E.  

Revise the SLA definition collaboratively with stakeholders if current targets are not achievable given production constraints.

A.  

The developer ' s keyboard layout or input-method configuration is the cause of the elevated context consumption, introducing extra tokens before the engineer types any message.

B.  

Many MCP servers are configured, each contributing tool definitions to the context budget; Tool Search is not enabled, so all definitions load upfront.

C.  

The model has internal personal preferences or default behaviors that silently consume large portions of context budget before any user message is processed, independent of tool configuration.

D.  

The font rendering or display-scaling settings of the IDE are converting visual output into additional context tokens, causing the high pre-session context consumption.

A.  

A chain-of-thought prompt for a routing decision that does not require multi-step reasoning.

B.  

A zero-shot prompt that specifies the categories with their descriptions and the required output format.

C.  

A prompt that demands the model invent new categories when the supplied ones do not fit.

D.  

A prompt with no category descriptions, expecting the model to infer the category set.

A.  

Adversarial tests using prompt-injection and malformed-input cases.

B.  

Regression tests against a stable reference set of previously known-good outputs.

C.  

Smoke tests that verify core paths after each deployment.

D.  

Integration tests that verify end-to-end pipeline behavior across all components.

E.  

Unit tests targeting only individual prompt-template rendering logic.

A.  

Proposal B is superior because centralizing requests in Slack creates an auditable log of all code-generation activity.

B.  

Proposal B introduces workflow friction by requiring developers to leave the IDE, undermining the productivity objective.

C.  

Proposal A reduces context switching by providing AI assistance at the point of development without requiring a separate tool.

D.  

Proposal B improves workflow velocity because Slack notifications create an asynchronous review queue.

E.  

Both proposals are equivalent because the model capabilities are identical regardless of the integration point.

A.  

No sampling, relying entirely on user complaints to reveal quality and safety problems after they affect users.

B.  

Risk-stratified sampling that reviews all low-confidence and high-impact outputs and a smaller random sample of high-confidence routine outputs.

C.  

Inverse sampling that reviews only high-confidence routine outputs and skips low-confidence and high-impact outputs.

D.  

Universal review of every output regardless of confidence or throughput impact.
