What ACE actually tests

The official Google Cloud blueprint (2025-ACE) splits the exam into 5 domains, weighted as below. Skarp maps every question and every study guide to one of them, so a weak domain is something you can see and fix rather than guess at.

How Skarp gets you to 70%

Step 1

Free diagnostic

About a minute. You get a score for every domain, not a single number — so you can tell whether the gap is in “Deploying and implementing a cloud solution” or somewhere narrower.

Step 2

A study guide from your wrong answers

Not a generic chapter. The guide is written against the questions you actually missed, and it explains why each wrong option was wrong.

Step 3

Mock exams at real conditions

50 questions, 120 minutes, same domain weighting as the real ACE paper.

Step 4

Repeat, re-weighted

Each retake over-weights the domains you struggled with, until your readiness score sits clear of the 70% pass mark.
