Ask Claude to work faster at the top of the prompt Before you ask ## Before you sit the mock **Is this the real CCAO-F exam?** No. Every item here was written for this page from the official CCAO-F Exam Guide and its published domains and objectives. Nothing is recalled from a sitting, nothing is drawn from another provider, and Cred Farmer is not affiliated with Anthropic or Pearson VUE. The items are short scenarios, about the length of the guide's sample questions. Of the 60, 55 are single-answer with four options and 5 ask you to select two of five, saying so in the stem. The questions themselves are ours, and their difficulty is not calibrated against the exam. **How is the mock scored?** You get the raw count of correct answers out of the items you sat, and the same count for each domain beside that domain's official weight. A select-two item counts only when both picks match the key. The exam reports a scaled score with a 720 cut, and no practice percentage converts to it, so this page never shows a scaled score, a pass verdict or a percentile. **Do I need an account to take it?** No. Choose a start mode and the sitting runs in your browser tab. There is no sign-up, no email field and no cookie that follows you. An account only matters if you want the larger signed-in library, and the link for that sits at the bottom of the page rather than in your way. **Is it actually free, or is there a catch?** No catch. Everything on Cred Farmer is free, this page included: no card, no trial, no limit on how many times you sit it. An account costs nothing either; it adds the five timed forms, saved progress and a readiness score capped by your first sitting of each form. The one limit here is inventory: the no-account paper is one paper, so sit it a second time and you will remember some items, and that is when the signed-in forms become the next step. **How many questions are in the mock?** 60 in the full sitting, allocated across the 7 official domains in proportion to their weights. The clock runs at the official pace of 60 items in 120 minutes, two minutes an item, so the full sitting gets 120 minutes, the same as the exam. The quick sitting draws 30 of them evenly across the domains in 60 minutes, and the untimed review takes the whole paper without a clock. **What happens to my result?** It stays in this tab. Nothing is sent to a server, nothing is stored on your device, and nothing you answer here feeds a readiness score or any aggregate. Close or refresh the page and the result is gone, which is also why it is worth reading the per-option reasons before you leave. ## This page is 60 items. The account has 300. Everything on Cred Farmer is free. An account adds the five timed forms, saved progress and a readiness score: CCAO-F has 5 forms aligned to the current blueprint, 60 items each, 300 in total, plus drills by objective, and your first sitting of each form sets the band the score can reach. No card, no trial clock.
