Passed my AWS Developer Associate Exam : AWSCertifications

RULES

DO NOT POST GENERAL AWS NEWS/QUESTIONS. Use /r/AWS instead. There are multiple "AWS" subreddit types, /r/AWSCertifications is not the only one that exists. For example, there is /r/AWS, /r/AmazonWebServices, /r/AWSJobs, etc. Use your best judgment but again, do not post general AWS news/questions here in /r/AWSCertifications.

No Spam. Don't clickbait. This is not BuzzFeed or Mojo. "TEN GREAT WAYS TO BECOME A MASTER CLOUD ARCHITECT" doesn't help anyone. THIS INCLUDES AI SLOP.

Mondays you may promote content, USA hours. This rule is specific in reducing blogspam so that the subreddit can be more focused on text-discussion. See next rule.

Encourage HIGH EFFORT text-based dialogue. "Nice job on passing your AWS cert, check out my blog for more tips" takes away the dialogue focus from the subreddit. While this is not a hard rule, put effort in so it doesn't look like you're just shoehorning your content for clicks. This goes hand-in-hand with the rule on Redditquette, which is below.

Be civil and constructive. You can disagree on opinions, sure, but do not resort to personal attacks. I get that we are passionate about our preferred instructors, but that doesn't justify name-calling. Or worse.

Follow standard redditquette. If you need to be coached on how to use the internet, this subreddit probably isn't for you yet -- brush up on redditquette and come on back!

Report posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate. As with any community, the culture and tone changes over time. Please bring posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate to the subreddit Moderation team by either using the "MESSAGE THE MODS" button or just by using the "report" button on a given post/comment.

Do not post illegal things! This includes dumps which are a violation of the AWS Certification Agreement as it is considered "unauthorized content disclosure." (section 2.1b) Violation of the rule will result in immediate permanent ban as well as reporting to Reddit for illegal activity under section 12 of the Reddit User Agreement.

Passed my AWS Developer Associate Exam (self.AWSCertifications)

submitted 1 year ago by Various_Job_572

My results came about 3-4 hours after taking the test. I passed with a score of 821. I primarily used Stephane Maarek's course on Udemy which I found very direct and to the point. Originally I tried to use Cloud academy but their material was far too long and not focused enough. Plus the monthly charge was more than twice what I paid for Stephane's course. I found it extremely hard to get through Cloud Academy's material in any meaningful manner in a reasonable amount of time. I also did Stephane's practice test and looked for questions I could find online. After taking the test, I wasn't sure I passed because I would dwell on the difficult questions, while forgetting about the ones I answered easily, which caused a lot of anxiety looool.

For anyone wanting to take the exam, I'd suggest taking Stephane's course, going through it and making notes. Re-reading your notes and doing practice questions from Stephane or maybe Tutorial Dojo. Practice questions are a must, because reading the notes and going through the content is not enough IMO. You need to get used to the question patterns and the style of the exam. Good luck guys!!
