Sample Claude Certified Associate - Foundations questions

Three examples from the 20-question quiz. Answers stay hidden until you reveal them.

Sample Question 1Governance, Risk, and Responsible Use

A hiring-support prompt appears to rate candidates from one demographic lower. What is the best response?

APause use, test a representative controlled set for disparate behavior, inspect inputs and criteria, and involve the responsible review team
BHide demographic fields only in the final report
CAsk Claude to promise to be fair
DDeploy it because the average rating is accurate
Show answer
Answer: A — Pause use, test a representative controlled set for disparate behavior, inspect inputs and criteria, and involve the responsible review team

Potential discriminatory behavior requires a measured evaluation, root-cause review, and accountable oversight before continued use. A promise in the prompt is not evidence.

Sample Question 2Troubleshooting and Optimization

A finance-summary prompt fails only on spreadsheets where amounts use parentheses for negatives. What change is most targeted?

ATell Claude to be more careful
BIgnore those spreadsheets
CReplace the entire workflow
DAdd a representative parenthesized-negative example and an explicit normalization rule, then rerun the failing cases
Show answer
Answer: D — Add a representative parenthesized-negative example and an explicit normalization rule, then rerun the failing cases

The failure is specific and reproducible, so a targeted rule plus representative example can be validated directly against the failing cases.

Sample Question 3Output Evaluation and Validation

Claude produces a correct contract summary but fails to mention an unusual termination clause. How should the team evaluate future summaries?

AIncrease the output length
BAccept the omission because the rest is correct
CCheck only whether the summary reads clearly
DUse a checklist of required clause categories and compare each summary with the source passages
Show answer
Answer: D — Use a checklist of required clause categories and compare each summary with the source passages

Completeness needs explicit coverage criteria and source comparison. A longer response may still miss the same high-impact clause.
