Exam tips

Practice makes perfect

  • If you're new to AWS, take a bit of AWS practice thanks to this course before rushing to the exam
  • The exam recommends you to have one or more years of hands-on experience on AWS
  • Practice makes perfect!
  • If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge you just learned, just go though it one more time

Proceed by elimination

  • Most questions are going to be scenario based
  • For all the questions, rule out answers that you know for sure are wrong
  • For the remaining answers, understand which one makes the most sense
  • There are very few trick questions
  • Don't over think it
  • If a solution seems feasible but highly complicated, it's probably wrong
