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

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%

Today I passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate with 810! These are my scores on this exam pack: Exam 1: 58%, 53%, 69% Exam 2: 63%, 67% Exam 3: 52%, 58% Exam 4: 53%, 75% Exam 5: 64%, 72% Exam 6: 38%, 63% I did attempt 2 on exams 4, 5, 6 and attempt 3 of exam 1 the same week. Best tip to study besides doing the theory course is to use the wrong questions and put them on Claude/Chat GPT, ask for an explanation and a question drill. The questions on the exam were a bit shorter than the ones that appear here, but contents were similar. I find that the exam questions offered options that were more far apart domain wise than the ones on this pack so were a bit easier in most cases. Good luck to everyone taking the exam and congratulations to those who got it!

I’m happy to share that I successfully cleared the certification yesterday, and these practice tests and Tutorial Dojo's practice test were incredibly helpful throughout my preparation. The questions were well designed and encouraged me to think through different scenarios, which really strengthened my understanding of the concepts. While I found the actual exam questions to be a bit less complex than the practice tests, I believe that’s exactly what made these tests so effective. Bonus Tip: In addition to the practice tests, I highly recommend going through Stephane's PPT slides one or two days before the exam. They're a great way to quickly refresh all the key concepts and boost your confidence before exam day.

Thanks a lot Stephane for this precious resource, it hepled me in preparation for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam. My best test scores on this platform were: 67% (44/65) 55% (36/65) 49% (32/65) 69% (45/65) 55% (36/65) 50% (33/65) The questions on the exam were contentwise somewhat similar but phrased different than in this course. However, I managed to pass the exam with 831 points.

Compares very well to the real exam, if not harder. Excellent prep material. Some of the story like questions were very similar to the exam, if not a bit tougher. I scored the following on my initial passes of the practice tests: Test 1: 61, Test2: 53, Test 3: 52, Test 4: 75, Test 5: 64 and Test 6: 64. I did not use the interactive mode. Passed the actual exam with a score of 820 (I came away thinking I had failed). Thanks Stephane for the excellent practice exams!

Thanks for the great course, I successfully passed the exam! My study approach: Instead of watching all 27 hours of videos, I focused heavily on the course slides with the videos of important sections. However, the videos are still incredibly important for hands-on practice and serve as an excellent future reference. I also supplemented my studies by practicing Q&A with ChatGPT. The practice exams: I took 5 practice exams multiple times. For the first three, I couldn't score higher than 85% even after multiple attempts and deep studying. Exams 4 and 5 were incredibly difficult and frustrating—the questions and answers were very long, which is especially challenging for non-native English speakers. I ran out of time on both and my highest score was only 56%. However, keeping at it paid off because I actually encountered 1 or 2 exact scenarios from those tough exams on the real test! Ultimately, I scored 747 on the real exam. Thank you for this valuable resource!

Passed the actual exam yesterday after using these practice exams. I actually found these exams harder than the real thing, but to me that's the sign of a good mock exam. My only critique of some of these practice exams is that the wording on some questions is vague. This vagueness leaves room for interpretation, and multiple possible solutions, otherwise these were helpful and I would recommend them.

I saw some reviews criticizing the sample paper questions for being ridiculously long, but honestly, the questions in the actual exam are not that short either. Get used to reading and understanding lengthy scenario-based questions and trust me it will make you feel super comfortable during the actual exam Also, the sample papers are definitely harder than the actual exam. I attempted four sample papers and failed all of them, scoring around 65%–70%. Today I passed the certification exam today with a score of 820/1000 so don't feel discouraged or less confident just because you failed the sample papers. Focus on learning from the mistakes and one tip I can give you is to learn to identify the key words in the questions that give you clue to which aws services they are hinting on. Once you understand the pattern it will be easier to answer the questions These sample papers were extremely helpful for preparing for the real exam, and I even encountered several questions in the actual exam that were very similar to the ones from the sample papers.

I took the exams in practice mode first and studied both right and wrong answers. Then I retook them in exam mode and focused only on reviewing questions I got wrong. One thing that really helped was asking Claude to explain why the correct answer was better than the answer I chose specifically. That helped me receive direct feedback on if it was a concept gap, common trap, or keyword miss. My initial scores were in the 40-50% range, then moved into the 60s. I retook 3 of the exams for a 3rd time and scored 72%, 73%, & 78%. Exam 5 was definitely more wordy than the others. The actual exam felt easier than the practice exams overall. Many of the concepts covered in the practice tests were not heavily emphasized on the real exam, but I think the practice questions are intentionally more vague to train you to think critically through the scenarios. I found the actual exam questions to be more straightforward. I would definitely recommend these practice exams. I passed the actual exam on my first attempt after studying for 3 months and I didn’t use any other resources.

Most of this is pretty good. There are some serious issues with some of the questions. Some seem pretty blatantly contradictory. Some are worded so strangely that I found myself unable to determine what question/problem was being proposed. Even after reading the answers and explanation, I often could not tell the issue being solved. The more questions I have worked through, the more I have come back and lowered the rating. I have not yet taken the exam and I am terrified that the questions there will mirror the ones in this packet. The functionality is questionable. The test locked up on me multiple times and I had to restart it - which is an udemy issue and not a course content issue. Worth the investment to get through it, but some of these were really frustrating FYI. I fed these into Claude and Claude got about 10%-15% wrong. Several times it stated that multiple answers worked.
