The worst part is I live in a tiny apartment and don't have any rooms without words (or things) everywhere - art on walls, cat food shelves, bookshelves, etc. so I had to move to my balcony last minute after they said no to the room I planned to use. And then I forgot to remove my watch, so they messaged me during the test and made me move my laptop camera around a bunch to re-check the space. So during the test, every time someone drove by with loud radio or something, I stressed that they would invalidate my test. 😅😭 Definitely 0 out of 10, do not recommend starting the exam with that kind of last-minute stress. I wish there was a way we could have submitted room photos ahead of time so I could plan better. I probably should have put that in the feedback at the end, but I was just so glad to be done I skipped the surveys. 🙃 My journey: I started using Claude Co-Work and Claude Code in April as a non-coder. I reached out to join this group & take the test last weekend I used claudestudycards.com, claudecertificationguide.com, and the Purcell practice exam throughout the week to prep. You can all do it!

Hey everyone! Heads up, I scheduled my exam and slots are tight, only 1 spot on August 9th, next one was August 27th. Doesn't seem like there's a ton of availability right now (I was actually scheduled for tomorrow, but had to postpone because of a legal name mismatch issue 🫠 , and now I can't test until that's sorted). I'm in the Europe timezone, so not sure if there's more availability if you're on EST/CST. If anyone's feeling close to "ready to test," I'd book now, my hunch is spots will get scarcer as we get closer to the October deadline and more people rush to get certified.

Finally, it's here! When I started prepping for the CCAF, the official materials read like they were written for developers, were dry and could not get through them. So I built my own solution from: YouTube series, practice exams, the official guide on repeat - and used Claude Code to check everything against Anthropic's developer docs so it was actually correct.
