What the exam covers

CCAR-P reports on a scaled range of 100–1000 with a cut at 720, and its questions are distributed across 7 domains by published weight rather than evenly. Those weights are the single most useful thing in the exam guide: they tell you where the marks are, and they rarely match where candidates spend their time.

DomainShare of examApprox. questions
Domain 1 — Solution Design and Architecture 17.0% 11
Domain 2 — Claude Models, Prompting, and Context Engineering 13.0% 8
Domain 3 — Integration 19.0% 12
Domain 4 — Evaluation, Testing, and Optimization 16.0% 10
Domain 5 — Governance, Safety, and Risk Management 14.0% 9
Domain 6 — Stakeholder Communication and Lifecycle Management 14.0% 9
Domain 7 — Developer Productivity and Operational Enablement 7.0% 4

Integration is the heaviest at 19.0% — roughly 12 of the 63 questions. Weakness there costs more than weakness anywhere else, which is exactly what a flat percentage score hides and what a blueprint-weighted estimate surfaces.

How we practise it

Our CCAR-P bank holds 400 original items across 20 objectives, each with an explanation and a note on every option — why the right answer is right, and why each distractor fails. Items are written against the published objectives. None is recalled or reproduced from a live exam.

A drill allocates questions by the published domain weights, multiplied by how far your measured mastery sits below standard. So a domain worth 19% of the exam that you are weak in dominates your next sitting, while one you have already mastered drops back to an exposure floor that keeps its estimate current.

What you get for free

A 20-item diagnostic for CCAR-P, spread across objectives rather than taken off the top, so the sample reflects the shape of the exam. It produces a first readiness estimate and full explanations, whether or not you go on to buy.
