How I passed the AWS Solution Architect Associate Certification(SAA-C03)?

Hola!

I’m working as a full-time DevOps engineer for a firm and I was longing to clear AWS SAA-C03. Due to work and commitments, I wasn’t able to keep my learning consistent.

At a point, I took it as a challenge and told myself to complete it by the 30th of March 2023. Since I had already cleared AWS Cloud practitioner I had to mostly concentrate on different scenarios and advanced concepts rather than basic concepts.

Here I will include all the resources that came in handy during my preparation.

1. Since I followed Stephane Maarek's course in Udemy and it helped me tremendously I continued to purchase his course in Udemy -https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03/learn/lecture/13528014?start=0#overview
2. Watched all the videos in the course and prepared notes at my convenience. I used to revise some concepts which involves numbers to remember especially S3 types and capacities etc.
3. At this point, I was confident in concepts and would like to put them into action. I have completed most of the questions in https://www.examtopics.com/exams/amazon/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-saa-c03/ and this helped me really well.
4. Again I went to Udemy and purchased practice tests https://www.udemy.com/course/practice-exams-aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate/ completed them with an 85% minimum in all the tests.
5. I was confident enough for the exam and scheduled it right away just because not to lose concepts from my mind as I was handling other stuff as well.

I took the exam at my home and I haven’t faced any issues as everything went smoothly.

Within 24hrs I got a mail with the AWS badge I checked the detailed report and I scored 884.
