Passed SAA-C03 certification exam (771)
Hi Everyone, this is my first reddit post. 🙂
Since the recommendations in this subreddit helped me a lot I decided to also share my experience.
Below is my result:
I have around 2 years of AWS experience, but certainly not with this broad range of services that are included in the exam.
What I did was almost exclusively TutorialDojo practice exams. IMO they were a bit harder that the actual exam but in a different way. I think they were more specific and sometimes really going in-depth for the service.
I didn't go through a video course, because I tend to loose focus a lot during these and I don't remember much after that. I am sure they are useful however it just doesn't work for me.
I did a combination of Review mode and Timed mode, but mostly review. Did all of them in the span of 5 days (around 2 a day). Take a closer look and try to understand WHY the answer is correct and other are wrong instead of memorizing. If you don't quite get it - use AI (prefferably in learning mode) to understand it better.
Below are my TD mock exams results:
- Set 1: 52.31%
- Set 2: 60%
- Set 3: 64.62%
- Set 4: 67.69%
- Set 5: 60% (timed)
- Set 6: 67.69%
- Set 7: 60% (timed)
As you can see i never actually passed the needed score in TD so use this as motivation to feel ready to actually go for it.
I was in exam center and had a pleaseant experience - you feel more relaxed there compared to thinking what can happen at home.
That's basically it. If you have questions I will be happy to answer them.
GOOD LUCK!
