15 questions covering AWS core services, IAM, storage, networking, and pricing. Randomized on every attempt.
Answering questions forces your brain to retrieve information, proven to improve retention far better than rereading.
See exactly which domains need work so you can focus your study time where it matters most.
Familiarity with the question format and time pressure means fewer surprises on exam day.
AWS certifications are scenario-based rather than recall-based. The questions describe a workload with constraints, then ask which architecture best satisfies them, so two technically valid answers can appear together and only one is optimal.
This test samples the ground shared by Cloud Practitioner and Solutions Architect Associate: core compute and storage services, IAM and the shared responsibility model, VPC networking basics, and the pricing and support models that appear throughout both exams.
The Solutions Architect Associate exam (SAA-C03) has 65 questions in 130 minutes and requires 720 out of 1000 on a scaled model. Fifteen of those 65 questions are unscored experimental items, so you cannot infer your result from a raw count.
The most common failure is picking the architecturally correct answer instead of the architecturally optimal one. Candidates who study only through video courses, without building anything in a console, consistently underperform against candidates with hands-on time.
