However, at the end of the course, he did tell us that “a 3-day boot camp is not going to be enough to pass the SAA-C02 exam”. In the 3-day boot camp, the instructor was awesome, really knew his stuff, and was extremely passionate about AWS. In saying that, my favorite learning is online pre-recorded, where I can learn at my own pace, pause the content, and rewind/replay if I have a need to. However, they do lack the capability of pausing the content or rewinding if you miss something (unless they are recorded).
Instructor-led live classrooms, whether it be within the classroom or online are great. One was within a classroom, basically following the AWS training curriculum, one 3 day BootCamp, and 2 online courses.įor me, it’s important that the instructor is enthusiastic, shares a passion for the subject, and has real-world experience. Your previous IT experience can be extremely beneficial in starting off your AWS journey.īefore attempting to sit this exam, I attended 4 different AWS Associate Architect courses. And lastly, if you have a background in networking, you may find the VPC component quite easy. If you work in virtualization, you may find EC2 easy. If you work with databases, you may find the sections on RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, etc quite easy. Depends on how much time you are willing to dedicate and what background experience you have. With that being said, yes, it helps to have that 1 year under your belt, but it’s not impossible to pass it in under a year. I guess you can take that with a grain of salt. The recommendation from AWS is that you have at least 1 year’s experience working with AWS. Once logged in you can choose to book your exam with Pearson Vue or PSI Here is a link to the AWS Solutions Arhictect Assocaite SAA-C02 Exam Guide:īooking the exam is done via the following link Marked questions can be reviewed at the end of the exam. It’s important to note that with the exam you can go back to previous questions and also mark them for review. Unscored questions are not identified during the exam, however, if they are ridiculously hard then they are probably the ones 🙂 These questions are used by AWS to determine if they are to be used in future exams.
In addition to the scoring system, the exam also contains about 15 unscored questions. Exam questions are weighted meaning, some questions score higher than others. This roughly gives you an average of just over 2 minutes per question.Ĭost of the exam is $150 USD and you require a passing mark of 720 out of 1000. The AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam (SAA-C02) consists of 65 questions and you have 130 minutes to complete the exam. This is purely an honest review of what I found to be the best learning material to pass this exam. Now before we dive into this article, I just want to say, I’m in no way affiliated with any of the people or products listed. 3 to be precise, and I loved every minute of it! Late last week I was able to pass the popular, AWS Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C02 exam. Minutes turned to hours, hours turned to days and days to turned to months.
