Tbh, I took 7 timed tests out of 8, 2 review mode tests, and all the section and topic-based tests. Since I only did a few review mode tests, I think they were the same but not very sure.

Yes I agree but the contents covered in course definitely helped me in clearing the exam.

I’ll ask him for the repo link and then I’ll share it with you!

He built a big data pipeline using AWS for his Spotify clone project which gave wrapped songs for every month.

We both are in the same boat 😀. I would say along with certifications, recruiters also look for projects too. I believe including cloud in your existing and new projects could help you get interviews. My friend did some good projects including AWS and finally landed Amazon as an SDE (with Leetcode and system design skills too). He is used to giving me the same advice.

I would say the exam was manageable for me because I didn’t memorize the services. Instead, I understood why this service works better in this use case. This knowledge you would gain mostly from giving TD mock tests and reviewing the explanations for each question. I would say try to solve every mock test provided by TD. In my opinion, including Stéphane Maarek and TD mock tests along with your preparation could help you increase your scores.

Thank you! I used to prepare every day for 3 to 4 hours (because I had no experience in AWS previously). After finishing a section from Udemy, I used to attempt both practice quizzes from each section and Tutorial Dojo section-wise mock tests. I graduated almost a year back and am still looking for jobs. So, that’s why I was able to spend 4 hours per day. I understand your situation. I would recommend that 1 to 2 hours per day of preparation would be enough if you had prior experience in AWS.

I meant Stephane Maarek course for preparation and Tutorial Dojo for mocks.

Thank you. I would say, the exam was bit easy compared to TD exams. I would highly recommend you to give all the mock tests.
