The C1000-136 exam, officially titled IBM Cloud Pak for Data v4.x Solution Architecture, is the qualifying test for the IBM Certified Solution Architect - Cloud Pak for Data v4.x certification from IBM, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as IBM Certified Solution Advisor - Cloud Pak for Data v4.x (C1000-083).

The IBM Cloud Pak for Data v4.x Solution Architecture exam gives you 90 minutes to work through 63 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Actual4dump test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 42 out of 63 (≈67%) to pass, and the official registration fee is $200 USD. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Actual4dump practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

No mandatory prerequisites; recommended 2–3 years experience with IBM Cloud Pak for Data, Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, data governance and AI/ML solutions Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: IBM C1000-136 exam overview.
