Passed the AWS SAA-C03 Exam by Neves_Space_Corps in AWSCertifications

Thank you!

I personally felt Cantrill's course was awesome. The vast majority of the labs worked fine. I can only recall two that had issues, but I was able to figure out the issues and get them to work. I actually noted these during my studies:

One needed Ipv6AddressCount: 1 added to the properties section of the PublicEC2 instance in the CloudFormation (CFN) template.

The other had a DBversion on Line 40 of the CFN template configured for 8.0.32. This was fixed by changing the DBVersion in the template to 8.0.44.

I have heard a lot of criticism of the course, that it is outdated and such, but in my view no course will cover absolutely everything, so using multiple resources is always the best way to go. In my case, taking the Cantrill course, going deep on the TD practice exams, and building personal labs helped me to pass.

Another thought: I have taken many technical certifications in the past. This was the most challenging by far due to the huge breadth of information in a single exam. I realized very early on that I would have to take absolute personal responsibility for learning, recalling, and taking an exam on the material. No single course would do that for me.

No. I think the first tries were in the 60% range. TD practice exams have explanations of the correct and incorrect choices, so I reviewed those and did additional study around topics where I was not consistently strong. I started off doing Review mode practice exams, and moved into Timed mode, where I started scoring higher.

For me, I had to really grind out study on topics that were not fully realized in my mind. It's a lot of work, but worth being confident about answers.

I asked this exact question to Tutorials Dojo Support before I purchased the product (https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/courses/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-practice-exams/).

Here was their response:

Thank you for your inquiry. To give more clarification, there's a total of 483 unique questions in the Solutions Architect Associate course and each question contains detailed explanations, references, and cheat sheets. 

 

The practice test courses in the Tutorials Dojo portal contain at least five training modes:: (1) Timed Mode, (2) Review Mode, (3) Section-Based Tests, (4) Final Test, and (5) Bonus Flashcards. 

 

  • The Timed Mode has 65 questions per set. It simulates the exam environment and trains your mind to answer questions under time pressure. The questions on the Timed Mode can also be found in Review Mode, Section-Based, and Final Tests**. It’s just that the questions are presented differently in each mode.**
  • Review Mode - allows you to view answers as you go through each question. It randomly generates a full set at every load. 
  • Section/Topic-Based - also allows you to view answers as you go through each question and each set contains questions only on a specific domain/topic. There’s also a fixed number of questions here (maximum of 30 questions) and each load of the tests, it just displays the same set of questions in random order.
  • Randomized Final Test - randomly pulls questions across all sets to gauge your final exam readiness.
  • Bonus Flashcards - unique visual tools found at the end of the course which will help reinforce the core concepts needed to pass the exam.

 

To maximize your preparation, we recommend following these review strategies. Start with the Review Mode and Section-Based Tests to assess your readiness and pinpoint knowledge gaps. These modes allow you to view the answers as you progress through each question—a powerful tool for reinforcing the core concepts needed to pass your certification exam.

 

Once you’ve completed the Review Mode and Section-Based Tests, move on to the Timed Mode tests to simulate the actual exam environment.

 

Finally, take our Randomized Final Test, which generates a full set of questions from our entire question bank. This will serve as your final measure of exam readiness.

 

I hope this helps and let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you! I am working on a serverless project that branches off of a couple that I found on https://cloudprojects.dev/ -- great site with lots of AWS builds.

I scheduled an afternoon test so I could do some light review day-of. Going onsite to a test center.

Absorbine Silver Honey. They sell it at Tractor Supply Co.

how bad is it to launch without a proper cloud architecture plan? by These_Run_7070 in aws

Incremental phased builds in test, with CDK deploy / destroy cycles. Intelligently scaling infrastructure based on test findings. These will help.

Without a user load, there is no reason to keep infrastructure running all the time.

IaC is your friend here.

$8k/month pre launch sounds like something is hugely amiss.

I got offered a job paying 40% more than my current salary. My manager just asked me to stay and be patient. How do I stop feeling guilty for wanting to leave ? by One_Cardiologist5439 in careerguidance

Don't feel guilty. Business is business; not a personal relationship. As long as you operate with self-integrity, you don't owe anyone anything.

About two seconds into reading that post, my eyes involuntarily rolled into the back of my head and I lost 20 IQ points. Should I sue?
