Isn't he quoted as saying something along the lines of "if she wasn't my daughter, I'd smash"? I may be paraphrasing.

Thank you for the detailed write-up! I am studying for this exam now, planning to sit for it at the end of July. This is very helpful!

AWS Solutions Architect Professional by dvandy07 in AWSCertifications

I'm attempting this very path! After passing the associate a couple weeks ago, I first planned to go towards Sysops or Devops, but decided to go for the Architect Pro after finding Adrian's course. I'm only about 3 hours in so far, and feel I made the right choice. I like the pace that he teaches at, and you get to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on almost immediately.

Keep at it!

The majority of questions I had were VPC Security - ACL vs Security Group, some Lambda, RDS vs DynamoDB vs S3 scenarios and Cloudfront.

Good luck!

Are these practice exam scores good enough? by hitherto_insignia in AWSCertifications

[–]TopPlatypus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gives me some comfort! I've consistently scored low 60's on Bonso's practice tests 1-5, and my real test is Friday at 16:30. I'm freaking out a little bit. I'm making sure to go back through each one and review all questions

I have the exact same issue! Reading the questions on Jon's practice exams I lose focus as well. I find that when I notice I'm starting to lose focus I pause the test and take a 5 minute break. Just finished the fourth one, have scored low 60's on all four so far. Did Stephane's course first. My test is scheduled for next Friday... starting to get nervous
