This course covers the knowledge portion of the Google Cloud Professional Agentic Architect certification (GCP-PAA), for professionals who design, build, and govern agentic systems on Google Cloud. GCP-PAA is currently a beta exam, with the beta window running September 3–30, 2026 and general availability stated for mid-November 2026. This bank is built against the exam guide Google published as of September 2026. Objectives can shift before general availability, and we will refresh the questions once Google finalizes the blueprint.

Read this before you buy: the real GCP-PAA certification has two required parts: a proctored multiple-choice exam and separate hands-on labs delivered in Google Skills, which validate actual coding and execution in a live cloud environment. A multiple-choice practice test cannot reproduce hands-on lab work. This course covers the knowledge portion only — the proctored multiple-choice exam. It does not simulate, and does not claim to prepare you for, the labs component. Budget separate hands-on practice for that part of the certification.

For the knowledge portion, you get 4 practice tests of 50 questions each, 200 questions total, split across the five official domains at their published weights: Building Agents Using Low-Code Tools, Using Coding Agents for Application Development, Developing Custom Agents, Evaluating and Deploying Agentic Workflows, and Securing and Governing Agentic Workflows. Every question includes a full explanation of the correct answer and why the other options fall short.

The differentiator: every question ships with its own original infographic, 200 diagrams total, built for that specific question. A question about an agent orchestration pattern gets a diagram of that pattern. A question about an evaluation pipeline gets a diagram of the pipeline. You get a picture of the architecture alongside the explanation, not just prose.

Content covers the conceptual and design ground the multiple-choice exam tests: low-code agent-building tools and when to reach for them; using coding agents in application development; designing and developing custom agents, including tool use and agent-to-agent communication; evaluating agentic workflows and choosing deployment approaches; and securing and governing agentic systems in production. This is system design and architectural judgment, not a substitute for the hands-on labs.

Questions are written as realistic architecture scenarios, not isolated vocabulary drills. You will see the kind of decision an agentic architect actually makes: whether a low-code tool or a custom agent fits a given requirement, how to structure orchestration between multiple agents, what evaluation metrics catch a workflow before it reaches production, and where a governance control belongs in the deployment path. Each explanation walks through that reasoning, not just the answer key, so the diagrams and the explanations reinforce each other rather than repeat each other.

All questions are original, written from the published GCP-PAA exam guide, not copied from Google sample questions or any dump-bank source.
