Google Cloud's professional exams are built around published case studies. The Professional Cloud Architect exam in particular ties a substantial share of its questions to four scenarios Google publishes in advance.
This test covers core Google Cloud ground: compute and storage options, IAM and resource hierarchy, networking fundamentals, and the cost and billing model that shapes most architecture decisions on the platform.
The Professional Cloud Architect exam runs 120 minutes with 50 to 60 questions and costs 200 USD. Google does not publish a passing score; candidate and training-provider consensus places it in the 70 to 80 percent band.
Candidates who skip the published case studies lose the largest single block of available points. The exam rewards architects who have built production systems over those who have memorised service names.
