PEGACPSA practice examsIn development
Pega Certified System Architect
The entry credential on a platform many European banks and insurers run their operations on: rules in a class hierarchy with rule resolution explaining surprising behaviour, case types designed as stages, processes and steps, data pages reading from systems of record rather than copying, and declare expressions recalculating automatically; then worklists against workbaskets, service levels with escalation, decision tables and trees with activities as a last resort, connectors and services, and iterative delivery measured by the guardrails score.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.

Two sample questions
1. What does a map value rule do?
- Copies values between two pages
- Validates a value against a pattern

- Returns a result from one or two inputs — correct
Why: A grid of two dimensions is what distinguishes it from a table.
2. What do responsive layouts adapt to?
- The screen size — correct
- The operator skill
- The SLA urgency
- The ruleset version
Why: Responsive layouts adapt the UI to different screen sizes.
