You can draw a VPC. Can you defend why the workload sits in that region, why the database is regional rather than multi-regional, why the key ring lives in the same country as the data, and why the recovery objective is fifteen minutes rather than four hours?

Prepare for the Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect exam with 600 original questions across six full-length mock exams of 100 items each. Every exam is blueprint-weighted against the six published domains, so each one is a coherent rehearsal of the whole blueprint rather than a random topic dump.

This is an architect's exam, not a product-recall exam. It expects judgement about business and technical requirements and the trade-offs between them; high availability and failover; network, storage, and compute design including Shared VPC, Private Service Connect, and hybrid connectivity; IAM, resource hierarchy, encryption, VPC Service Controls, and secure remote access; software supply chain controls; securing AI with Model Armor and Sensitive Data Protection; observability, alerting, and service level objectives; deployment and release strategy; migration planning and tooling; and cost optimisation across the whole estate.

WHY THIS BANK IS DIFFERENT

• Six exams, 600 original items, no duplicate stems anywhere in the bank

• Blueprint weighting on every exam: 25 / 18 / 17 / 15 / 12 / 13 against the published 25 / 17.5 / 17.5 / 15 / 12.5 / 12.5

• Mixed item types: 76 single-answer, 16 multi-select with the count stated, and 8 sequencing items where you pick the correct candidate order

• Case studies: four original scenarios per exam, five questions each

• Every option explained — why the right answer wins and why each distractor loses for this question

• Every item cites the official exam-guide section it maps to and a primary reference

• 42 local study-map skills, all covered, so you can revise by weakness rather than by exam number

WHAT THIS IS NOT

Google does not publish a passing score, so no target percentage is claimed here and a practice percentage is not a scaled score. The live exam gives you two case studies on a split screen; this bank gives you four per exam so the blueprint is drilled twice. Drag-and-drop ordering, lab tasks, and interactive console items cannot be reproduced in a CSV, so they are excluded and disclosed rather than imitated.

WHO IT IS FOR

Cloud architects, platform engineers, and senior engineers preparing for PCA, plus anyone who has to defend an architecture decision to a security team, a finance team, or a regulator.

Nothing here guarantees a pass.
