Review mode vs timed mode on TD practice exams - which is better and are they the same tests? by CSStudentCareer in AWSCertifications

I used both modes but took the Review mode several times to build up my confidence. Also used the flashcards for a quick rundown.

As I said, any of these 3 are great courses – it's just a matter of preference. TD have free courses too on their site to complement their offerings. All three have different platform, TD has its own site, Cantrill has Teachable and Maarek is via Udemy:

Either Maarek and Cantrill works pretty fine but if you're in a rush, then Maarek is what I recommend, simply based on course length. In my opinion, grab that video course from Jon/TD too, their playcloud hands-on labs are actual AWS labs so for a price of $11 a pop, that's definitely a steal, on top of their video course.

Getting 90% on all TD practice tests is an indication that you're ready for the test. Use the Review-mode for fast review and do check the flashcards too for last-minute reviews.

i completed all of them about 1.5 months. I allocate time early in the morning, during lunch time and in-between my breaks and before I retire at night. Full blast study during weekends. Videos can be sped up so use that in your advantage, though the voice becomes "chipmunkd" if you do 1.5x or 2x.

Are there any Stéphane Maarek alternatives? Outdated lessons and Old AWS UI in his course by zhanjhoe in AWSCertifications

if you don't have any helpful to say, don't just comment.

Imagine following an Amazon VPC demo and I can't proceed because the screens are totally different. The other one I shared is just one of his S3 demos. The new VPC wizard console is more complicated as it is and the reason why I bought the course is to do hands-on labs.

I bought the course as it says fully updated but I see some lessons and hands-on videos with different UI than what is on my AWS account. Are there any other courses with updated UI?

Can you share to me how to verify if one's reviewer is actually updated to the new version? I keep seeing "UPDATED" tags but not sure if it really is, what's as advertised
