Sign in to take the mock examHow to use this
- Work through each domain until you are above 80%, starting with the heaviest: Identity and Access Management (20%), then Infrastructure Security and Data Protection (18% each).
- Read every explanation, including for questions you got right: each one says why the other options are wrong, which is how the exam separates close answers.
- Use "Mistakes due for review" every day. A missed question comes back after 1 day, then 3, 7 and 14 days once you answer it correctly.
- Repeat the hands-on part for weak tasks in your own AWS account, then take a mock exam. Do not memorise answer letters; the options are shuffled every time.
