Reviews from people preparing for the Claude Certified exams on Cred Farmer. Nobody was paid for them, the critical ones are here too, and where a review led to a change, our reply says what we fixed.
How these reviews got here
All of these were sent to us before 28 September 2026, through a feedback form that promised they would never be published. On 28 September 2026 we decided to publish them anyway, with each author’s first name and last initial.
Anything sent to us since then goes up only if its author ticks a box to post it.
We publish them as written, typos included. Where we removed personal details, such as an email address, the review says so.
Authors can hide their name or remove their review at any time from Settings.
A reply marked Fixed means the change it describes is live on the site. Noted means we have read it and are not claiming a fix.

The mock exam are good, the final test are very similar.

Cred farmer is great. I have passed the claude developer and architect foundations courses with it. sometimes the answer is clear in the mock tests because the longest answer is frequently the correct one. also, i would distinguish between the module overviews and other, supplemental material. it wasn't always clear what was core to study and what might be extra

Thank you, and congratulations on passing both. You are right that the correct answer is too often the longest option, especially in our Architect Foundations mock exams; those have not been rewritten yet, though our newer free practice exams were written to avoid it. Our study pages also do not yet mark which readings are core and which are extra, so that point stands too.
I hoped to do a few mock exams, which I could do and it helped a lo. Some of the questions were a bit difficult to understand, but overall the mock exams helped me a ton

Thank you, we are really glad the mock exams helped you this much. We hear you that some of the questions were a bit difficult to understand, and we have not yet reworded questions for clarity since your review, so that is still open. If you remember which ones tripped you up, telling us through Share feedback would help us look at those first.
Excellent source for practice tests and learning. However it would really be good to have a pattern or a format to learn things in sequence. Otherwise it is a great attempt to learn things.

Thank you, we are glad the practice tests and study material are helping. Today the Study Guide suggests an order and marks the section to do next, and a 30-day study plan under the Resources tab sets out what to cover and when. Your note tells us that sequence is still not clear enough; we have not changed it since your review, but we have noted it.
I've been using it on and off to help drive out pre-test for Anthropic certifications. So far it's great, but I've not dug deep enough yet to give it a full 5 star review. That being said, the site seems easy to use, and intuitive.

I only used the mock exams. They ended up being slightly more contrived in prose compared to the real one but this is not inherently bad. One thing I would honestly handle better is checkpointing during the exam, right now any action (i.e. exiting the text, reloading the page, a session timeout) completely wipes all updates on the exam, needing a recompilation, which is kind of a nuisance.

Thank you, this report led directly to a fix, live since 23 September. In a mock taken while signed in, your answers now save as you go and are kept when you exit, reload or your session times out, and the practice list offers to resume that sitting. On the prose, that is fair: we write our questions from the official exam guide without access to real exam items, so our wording will read differently from the real exam.
The drills and mock tests are good - helped me in clearing the Claude developer exam

Add some videos to study by visualizing the concepts. Add some real world examples to understand the concepts more clearly.

Thank you for both ideas, and we have noted each one. We do not have videos, and the study guides are text without diagrams; the diagrams we do have are in the free articles on our blog. For real-world examples, each guide has a Guided worked solutions section and Hands-on labs built on realistic scenarios.
very well organised.

Most of the drills and mocks are effective. A small portion of questions are vague and lack a clear reasoning.

Thank you, we are glad most of the drills and mocks are working for you. You are right that some need work: a number of our notes on why a wrong answer is wrong are only a few words long, and we have not rewritten those or reworded any questions since your review. If you can tell us which ones felt vague through Share feedback, we will look at those first.
The questions of mock exams significantly differed form the CCAF exam. The practice questions and exams appear to have been lifted from the Anthropic course questions, rather than using the questions from the actual exam as structural guidance.

Thank you for comparing our mocks with the real exam. Exam questions are confidential and we have no access to them, so our closest model is the sample questions in Anthropic's official exam guide. For Architect Foundations, the free practice we added in September follows their longer, scenario-based style, but the mock exams inside your account still do not, and you are right that they read differently.
Hi, is it possilbe to downlaod a prinitable version of this. It's too distracting to work when other tabs are open (and after a point even Chrome blockers dont work ) would be great if you have any workaround for this, thank you!

Thank you, this is a fair ask. Every study guide section has a Print button at the top that prints the lesson without the side menus, and your browser can save it as a PDF to read offline. We do not offer the whole guide as a single download or a distraction-free mode today, and we have noted both.
The mock exams and failed domains enforcement are great. the writing could improve maybe because its AI generate but something like "a calibrated effort setting, is a deliberation-depth decision:" feels too overblown, things that ai is guilty of doing but it impacts when you are reading pages and pages of overblown content.

Thank you, and we are glad the mock exams and the focus on failed domains work well for you. You are right about the writing: the sentence you quoted is still in that guide word for word, and we have not yet reworked the study pages into plainer language. Lines like that add up over long reading, and we have noted it.
Truly amazing what you have created.. I am planning to take the assicaite exam in a week or two. Just wondering how close are the mock tests to the actual exam in terms of length and difficutly - it would be useful to know since I have heard contradictory things

Thank you so much for the kind words. Our Associate mock exams match the official length: 60 multiple-choice and multiple-response questions in 120 minutes. On difficulty we honestly cannot say, because we write every question ourselves, have no access to real exam questions, and Anthropic publishes no pass rate. If you have sat it since, we would love to hear how it compared.
Mock tests are not marking some answered questions as completed and not allowing test submission and review.

We're truly sorry, that must have been so frustrating. A bug in some of our practice tests stopped answers from saving and left some answered questions unmarked, so Submit and the review could not go through. We've fixed both: answers now save as you go, show as answered, and the test submits through to your answer review.
