Pegasystems recommends the following training resources for PEGACPSSA23V1 exam candidates:
Pairing official courses with timed practice sessions tends to work well, since one builds knowledge and the other builds exam-day rhythm.
The PEGACPSSA23V1 exam gives you 90 minutes minutes to answer 60 questions. That pace leaves little room for hesitation, which is why rehearsing under a timer — for example with the online test engine at RealVCE, where you can set the session length just like the real test — is such a useful habit.
The online test engine is exclusive to RealVCE and runs on any electronic device — phone, tablet, or computer — with no installation barriers. It recreates the atmosphere of the real PEGACPSSA23V1 exam: you set the test time the way it will be on exam day, work through the Pegasystems Certified Pega Senior System Architect 23 practice questions under that pressure, and at the end the engine marks the questions you got wrong and reminds you to practice them again next time. Over a few sessions, that loop turns weak areas into reliable ones.
To pass the PEGACPSSA23V1 exam you need a score of 70% or 700/1000, and the registration fee is USD 190. Since each attempt costs the full fee, arriving over-prepared is cheaper than arriving under-prepared — timed mock sessions and repeated review of missed questions are the usual ways candidates close that gap.

You perform a major skim on the ruleset ABC:02-02-01 to ABC:03-01-01.
In the Answer area, select the ruleset versions that the skim operation uses to copy rules into ABC:03-01-01.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
The major skim operation copies rules from the highest minor version of the current major version of a ruleset to create a new major version. In this scenario, the ruleset being skimmed is ABC:02-02-01, indicating that the current major version is 02.
Given this, the ruleset versions that would be used by the skim operation to copy rules into ABC:03-01-01 would be the highest minor versions within the major version 02.
* 02-01-01: This is not the highest minor version (since we have 02-02-01), so it would not be used. The answer should be "No."
* 01-02-01: This is from a different major version (01), so it would not be used. The answer should be
"No."
* 02-01-05: Despite having a higher patch version, it belongs to the minor version 01 within the major version 02. Since we have a higher minor version 02, this would not be used. The answer should be
"No."
Only the highest minor version from the current major version (in this case, 02-02-01) is used for the skim operation to create the new major version ABC:03-01-01. If the ruleset version 02-02-01 were listed, the correct answer would be "Yes" for that version, but as it is not listed, none of the provided ruleset versions would be used in this skim operation.
