The Pure Storage FAAA_004 exam, officially titled Pure Storage FlashArray Architect Associate, is the required test for earning the FlashArray Architect Associate certification, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it validates the skills Pure Storage expects from certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as Pure Storage FlashArray Architect Professional, Pure Storage FlashBlade Architect Associate.
The FAAA_004 exam includes 60-70 questions, and you have 90 minutes to complete it. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count so you know the pace you need to hold, and practice flagging time-consuming items for review instead of stalling on a single question. Timed sessions in the Actualtests4sure test engine are the easiest way to build that rhythm before it counts.
You need 700/1000 to pass the FAAA_004 exam, and the official registration fee is $150 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again for a retake, so avoid booking your seat on a hunch. Work through the Actualtests4sure practice test until your scores sit comfortably above the passing requirement before you schedule the exam.
