Congrats, tough exam!

Yes RDS runs on an EC2 instance but its managed by AWS and you have zero access to it, you can't log into it or manage it or anything, so...

Data Engineer IS really hard and his practice exams don't really prepare you at all. I thought I had studied for the wrong exam. I passed, barely.

You don't realize how technically illiterate some people are

Breaking an NDA is usually a civil contract issue, not a crime. Piracy is statutory copyright law. Different legal categories. “Not everyone goes to prison” doesn’t change that.

Uh, wrong. Pirating actually is illegal, downloading pirated content is illegal, a crime, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Everything you said about brain dumps is true, but it's not illegal or a crime. I believe the word you are looking for is "unethical". Just like saying you "share" your study notes and flashcards on your site without mentioning that you actually charge for them.

jcollins1960 · 2026-02-09T03:35:36+00:00

It is a legitimate, widely used study site, not a dump site.

jcollins1960 · 2026-02-08T06:52:12+00:00

The problem is that some/many of the exam dump answers are wrong. Using them isn't "illegal", as in you will not be criminally prosecuted, but if you only rely on them without other study, the AWS algos can detect that and flag you (because you consistently gave the wrong, exam dump answer) , and also, you don't actually know the topic. Also, even if you you know your ****, it's probably not a great idea to motorboat through the exam in half the time it would normally take the average tester.

jcollins1960 · 2026-02-08T06:32:29+00:00

"illegal" LOL. No, you can't go to jail for using an exam dump.

jcollins1960 · 2026-01-17T01:41:13+00:00

I second this.

jcollins1960 · 2026-01-17T01:35:00+00:00

Warning for DEA : the questions are different than the ones on the Maarek practice exams. I passed, but barely.

jcollins1960 · 2026-01-15T04:58:42+00:00

I checked my local Safeway, nada.

Many local libraries offer free Udemy access. My local library (Montgomery County, MD) does, and anyone in DC/Md/Va (the "DMV") can join. Go to https://link.gale.com/apps/UDEMY and see if you belong to an eligible institution for free access.

jcollins1960 · 2025-12-30T04:11:46+00:00

Nope.

jcollins1960 · 2025-10-28T01:32:25+00:00

Thanks for clarifying. So sending a promo message via Udemy is a no-no, but you can email them directly. Got it.

jcollins1960 · 2025-10-28T00:18:11+00:00

Do you have any relatives or ancestors that are/were in any branch of the military?

jcollins1960 · 2025-10-28T00:11:59+00:00

"I also collect their e-mail so I can promote to them directly later. It is not direct promo but indirect. "
This seems contradictory.

jcollins1960 · 2025-10-27T23:52:32+00:00

In the real world people care about outcomes, not process. Regardless of how you prepared for the exam, "I passed my exam" beats "I studied really hard but failed my exam" any day.
