**In everyday life.** A practice test with a clock tells you more than one more read through your notes. You find out what you know when time is short.

This is Panaversity's PCAO-F sample exam. It follows the CCAO-F exam guide, version 1.0: its seven domains, its weights and its 30 objectives. It has 60 questions and a 120-minute clock, as CCAO-F does. Some questions ask you to choose more than one answer, and each one says how many.[^anthropic-ccao-f-guide]

When you finish, you see your score and a score for each domain. For every question you missed, you also see the chapter and section of this book that teach it. Sign in first. Every attempt you finish is saved to your Panaversity account, so you can come back to it on any device.

The exam follows guide 1.0, for exams before December 7, 2026, and it is updated when Anthropic publishes the next guide. To revise a domain that scored low, use the map in [Appendix C](preparing-for-ccao-f.md).
