Passing the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate exam is another significant step in advancing my career in AWS. It has given me more confidence, enabling me to progress further along this path.
First and foremost, I want to emphasize that this exam is not easy; however, it is also not so tough that you should refrain from attempting it.
So, here are some common questions you might have, and I have put in my utmost effort to address all your doubts.
I began my preparation by enrolling in a Udemy course offered by Stephane Maarek and utilizing Whizlabs resources. Additionally, for a more comprehensive understanding in Hindi, you can refer to the “Technical Gufgtu” YouTube channel Link.
Once you’ve completed the course, it’s crucial to evaluate your knowledge through practice tests. Begin with tests from Stephane Maarek and Abhishek Singh. Following that, consider the Tutorial Dojo practice tests; these are relatively easier and can significantly boost your confidence. For more advanced practice, Whizlabs is also a viable option Link.
The amount of time required for preparation varies from person to person, depending on your grasp of the material and the time you can dedicate to studying. In my case, I dedicated three months to thorough preparation.
For non-native English speakers, there’s an option to request a 30-minute time extension. However, this extension won’t impact your results or certification outcome Link.
Important Points: It’s crucial to attend all the labs and gain hands-on experience. Practical experience is invaluable as exam questions often present scenarios that involve different services and situations. A solid understanding of the topics is essential to answer these questions accurately.
I’m sharing these insights based on my personal experience. Remember, there are multiple resources available for the exam, and you can choose the ones that align with your learning style. If you still have doubts, feel free to reach out to me directly.
Happy learning!
