Background

I have a Computer Science degree and work as a software engineer. I do have experience in Cloud but have not worked on any AWS products.

Start Date

17 Feb 2021

Exam Date

8 Mar 2021

Resources

  1. AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate Practice Exams: Did 4 times;
  2. Practice Exams | AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate: Did 2 paper;

Reflection

Even though I passed on the first attempt, I felt the preparation wasn’t sufficient. Took around 2 weeks to prepare. Mostly the nights and 1.5 weekends. Preparation was mostly just attempting papers, and trying to mix in those basics I learnt from Cloud Practitioner.

Strongly encourage to have better reinforcement of the fundamentals before going for the exam. I highly recommend AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate Practice Exams. A good friend took it and owned the exam like a bouse.
