AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate Practice Exams (Udemy.com)

Be an AWS Solutions Architect! AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate Practice Tests for SAA-C03 topics!

Created by: Jon Bonso AWS Generative AI Developer

Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 29,867 students and a sample of their written reviews, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a set of six practice exams for the AWS Solutions Architect Associate, SAA-C03 version, from Jon Bonso and Tutorials Dojo. It teaches nothing from scratch. There are no video lessons, just question sets with a written explanation after each one, plus links to AWS documentation. It has 172,219 students and about 29,900 reviews at a 4.6 average. It was last updated in September 2026, though some reviewers say the questions feel dated.

Reviewers mostly write about passing. Several post real exam scores between 781 and 845, and one says they had no tech background and passed with 820 after working through these papers. A few pair it with Stephane Maarek's material. Praise centers on the explanations, which people say exposed their weak spots. Complaints are fair too. Some call the questions harder than the real exam, others say the real questions are longer. A couple say the material felt old and that topics from their exam never appeared.

The ratings are lopsided in a good way: 17,913 five-star and 9,536 four-star reviews against 587 at one or two stars. The low scores mention outdated questions, difficulty, and longer real exam questions. Treat it as the last stage of prep, after a video course, and use timed mode. Reviewers who passed often mention scoring in the 70s here. Recommended for anyone sitting SAA-C03, as long as expectations stay realistic.

Best forPeople close to sitting the SAA-C03 who want hard scenario questions and detailed answer explanations.
Skip it ifYou need video lessons to learn AWS from scratch, since this only tests what you already know.

Pros

  • Every answer has a written rationale and AWS doc links, so wrong guesses turn into learning
  • Six full sets, and reviewers who passed report scores in the 70s and 80s here
  • Retake the exams on phone or laptop, unlike the one-attempt AWS sample exam
  • Listed as last updated in September 2026 for the SAA-C03 exam version

Cons

  • Several reviewers say the questions run harder than the real exam
  • A few say newer AWS topics showed up on their exam that no question covered
  • No lessons at all, so it assumes the material has already been learned
I took the actual exam two days after finishing this course and scored an 845! This course was definitely a good investment for me.

Listed as all levels, but it suits people who have already studied AWS. The stated requirements are a computer or phone and an AWS account.

I passed the AWS SAA exam today! I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully encourage anyone who is currently preparing for the exam. This course really helped me build a solid foundation in AWS. The explanations are clear, and the practice questions helped me understand the concepts better. When I first started, my scores were pretty bad. I couldn't even get above 50%, and my lowest score was actually 12%! It was definitely frustrating and discouraging at times. One thing I learned is that the real exam is not just about memorizing practice questions. There were quite a few questions on the actual exam that were outside the scope of the practice exams, so having a solid understanding of AWS concepts is really important. My advice is: don't give up! Review every question you get wrong, understand why your answer was incorrect, and keep learning from your mistakes. Be patient, trust yourself, and keep going. You can do it. Keep studying and you'll get there! Thank you for creating such a helpful course!

By Joan Sebastian Leon Guevara on 8/10/2026

Yesterday I passed the AWS SAA exam with 810, I used TD and Maarek exams. This was my strat, Most of my scores were below 80 so don't get discouraged. First I took these exams in practice mode (I checked the answer, sometimes I'd look up something specific in GPT or my notes) Maarek # 1 58% Maarek # 2 60% Maarek # 3 69% Maarek #4 70% TD # 1 72% TD # 2 76% TD # 3 69% TD # 4 81% Then I used exam mode in the unseen exams: Maarek #5 67% TD #5 70% Maarek #6 69% TD #6 76% Official AWS sample 20 questions: 85% Finally I redid some of the exams in exam mode: Maarek #1 76% Maarek #2 70% TD #3 83%

By Josh Schroeder on 6/15/2026

I have a good amount of AWS experience over many years across different types of projects, so I figured I would just buy these practice exams as my way to get certified. I work well when under pressure, so I paid for and scheduled my exam just 5 days from when I started. I took the first practice exam and scored 69.5%, the answer guidance was extremely helpful in understanding my gaps and learning about the services I was unfamiliar with. 2nd practice exam I got 75%, so I took the 3rd practice exam after a short break and scored 75% again, but got exposure to a few new concepts/questions I had gaps on. My official exam day was the next day, so this is where I left off -- I figured I have a good chance to making the 72% required to pass. I just got my results back, and I passed the official exam with an 81%! These practice exams are VERY good, taking the real exam just felt like I was taking another one of these practice exams - every question felt familiar. The difficulty of the questions in these practice exams are spot-on with the real test. If you are comfortable passing these exams consistently, you should have no problem passing the real exam.

By Hnin Hnin Aye on 5/18/2026

I used Tutorial Dojo practice exams to prepare for the AWS SAA exam, and I honestly found them more difficult than the actual exam. However, that challenge really helped me identify my weak areas and improve my understanding of AWS services. Thanks to these practice tests and detailed explanations, I was able to pass the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam with confidence. Highly recommended for anyone seriously preparing for the certification!

By Siddharth Kumar Kosta on 2/13/2026

This course is extremely helpful for preparing for the AWS SAA-03 exam. The answer explanations are clear and detailed, which makes it easier to understand concepts and improve accuracy. Note: From my experience, the six practice sets are slightly more difficult than the actual exam. My scores in the practice tests were 55%, 63%, 67%, 69%, 58%, and 70% while I scored 757/1000 on the real exam. This makes the course a great benchmark for readiness and confidence building.

By Benjamin Taylor on 1/18/2026

It took me only 9 days to pass the AWS SAA-C03 exam with the help of these practice sets. I am pretty new to AWS, having only the Certified Cloud Practitioner prior to taking this exam. The format of these questions is very similar to the real SAA-C03 exam, and the topics are pretty in-depth too (covering most of the topics you need to know). My first round taking these I was getting 38%-45%, then the night before my exam (a week later) I was sitting in the 85-95% range. I was super stressed out about my tight deadline, but I would totally recommend these practice sets, as I'd say my passing was due to these alone!

By Vitalie Patlatii on 12/25/2025

Although the course may help prepare a bit for the exam, the material is old. At the exam I bumped into several new concepts and features, which none of the questions in all 6 tests cover. From the whole package of questions 65 x 6, there were just a few somehow close by context.

By marvin meite on 12/9/2025

The questions seem to cover the AWS notions' corner cases deeply, which is the purpose of these Practice Exams. The explanations could be formatted better to speed up the review process; maybe a small tl;dr section could be beneficial. The notion is really dense and cognitively demanding; by the time you understand the first 20 explanations, the first explanation is already forgotten. I'm also unsure if the material is up to date. In the comment section, the comments are 2-3 years old. It kind of scares me because I would like to pass the real SAA exam within the next few weeks. Overall, I read on Reddit that TD offers harder practice exams, which brings more confidence to the process.

By Quoc Le Doan on 11/7/2025

I just cleared my exam ssa today taken at center. I scored 775. During exam, I was nervous cuz only score from max 50 - 60% max (practice mode, and first attempt) Practice mode give me answer right away, boosting my learning cycle faster. I took Stephane course as well, both complement each other. Pls do not stress yourself by scoring low in these practice. In real exam, it was shorter, clearer. I score max 60% and still clear exam so u can! Ps: beside from main services, mine there were quite a lot services about ML.

By Zach on 11/6/2025

I did not pass a single one of these practice tests. I think I started in the 40% range and slowly worked my way up to 60% range. I passed the SAA on my first attempt at a 775. These questions were a bit tougher but made sure you understood concepts instead of just memorization. The actual exam was a nice change of pace and I felt comfortable for the entirety. I am rolling straight into my SAP prep and I will be using the same strategy. I also supplemented this with AWS Skill Builder (not very helpful) and Whiz Labs, which were much easier questions but ensured I was retaining the concepts from this course. Good luck to all!!
