I'm giving the exam next tuesday on may 20th, and I did buy the course from Stephane Mareek on Udemy, which is what I found the most reccommended all across this subreddit, but I can't seem to know which practice exam course should I get.

My current options are:

• https://www.udemy.com/course/practice-exams-aws-certified-cloud-practitioner/?couponCode=ST2MT130525G1

• https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/product/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-practice-exams/

Is there one out of the two that someone who has given the exam previously would reccommend to me? Or is there a free one that is good enough? Or some other one that I should buy instead of these two? Would love to know! TIA!

Should I also do the Maarek Course or just doing the coursera courses (one, two) is enough? There is also free material on amazon skill builder here

Someone else somewhere said I should do the tutorial-dojo course.

Am I over-thinking study material for the supposedly simple course? Should I just pick one and do it?

How do you know it is enough?

The 20 question test on skillbuilder was easy and I got 18 out of 20 correct.

This link shared by @CleverBunnyThief and created by @madrasi2021 is highly useful. Please read through it.

I passed the exam. Practice exam is really helpful - I did the one by Stephen on udemy.

You can check out the quizz here. There's also SAA and AIF versions as well

As someone who has gone through the challenge of obtaining this certification, I know how important it is to have access to quality study materials. That's why I decided to create this side project to help those pursuing this achievement but may not have the means to acquire paid resources.

Throughout the practice exam, you'll find hundreds of questions covering the main topics of the actual exam. My goal is to provide a study experience that closely mirrors the real exam, so you can get used to the question format, the main knowledge domains, and enhance your overall knowledge. But don't underestimate hands-on practice! I strongly suggest using AWS Skillbuilder for some real hands on practice!

There are two types of practice exams: a "basic" one (35 questions, 40 minutes long) and a "full" one (65 questions, 90 minutes long). Both feature random questions for better studying!

Key features:

• Real-time score tracking: No need to wait until the end to see how you're doing! The practice exam displays your percentage score as you progress through the questions.

• Review your answers: At the end of the practice exam, you can review which questions you answered correctly and incorrectly. This is one of the best methods for reinforcing your knowledge and learning from your mistakes.

• Completely free: No hidden costs or subscriptions. I believe everyone should have access to quality study materials, regardless of their financial situation. But if you'd like to support this project and help keep the resources flowing, you can easily buy me a coffee through the app - it's completely optional but greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to see if anyone else has used whizlabs for CCP in the past. Feel like I understand a good chunk of the content but I’m not scoring as high as I was expecting on the practice exams. Scores are as follows:

Exam 1: 72% Exam 2: 72% Exam 3: 77% Exam 4 65%

Has anyone else used wizlabs for CCP in the past? Is it an accurate representation of the actual exam? Why or why not?

FYI: Just purchased tutorials dojo for a bit more practice, heard good things

Hi Guys,

I am currently preparing my exams for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner cert. I have also bought the skillscertpro practice questions on impulse.

Should i also buy the Udemy Stephane Maarek course and TD's practice exams?

Please advise. Thank you

I am planning on studying for the AWS cloud practitioner exam starting today. I saw that AWS has two main resources to help prepare, a 7hr self paced module and a 12hr video game. Should I do both, one or the other, or is there another resource you guys recommend? I am currently studying IT in college and have an okay understanding. Thank you for the advice in advance!

Hey everyone,
I'm currently preparing for the new AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) exam and I’m looking for good resources or platforms where I can take practice tests or quizzes specifically tailored to this updated version.

I’ve already gone through some of the official AWS training, but I’d really like to test myself with realistic practice exams. Ideally something that's updated for CLF-C02.

If anyone has come across any helpful dumps or detailed question banks, please let me know

Hey everyone! Hope you're all doing great!

I'm currently gearing up for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam and I'm at a crossroads. I'm considering whether to invest in the $20 practice exam before dropping $100 on the real deal. Here are my questions for those in the know:

• Is it worth it? Should I take the plunge with the practice exam first?

• How many tries do you get? If I pay $20, can I attempt the practice test multiple times, or is it a one-and-done deal?

• Cost for multiple tries? Do you have to pay $20 for each attempt or is it just for the initial one?

• Saving questions: Is there any way to save or revisit the questions from the practice exam to study on my own later?

Any advice or experiences you could share would be incredibly helpful! Thanks in advance for guiding a fellow learner through this AWS journey.

Well, today I took and failed my Cloud Practitioner exam. Scored a 660. Honestly feeling down after this, as I prepared for over a month and from what I’ve read, this is supposed to be the easy exam that people pass with 10-14 days of studying. But with that said, I definitely plan to retake it in 14 days. Attached to this post is the breakdown of my score performance. Any advice (I.e resources, specific practice exams, videos etc) you guys would recommend?

No previous cloud experience but I've been working as a data analyst for the past 3 years. My manager said the the exam will have an impact on the upcoming yearly review. I spent two days (~10 to 15 hrs in total tbh) and just passed it. Here are the resources I used.

1. First watched this 4 hr at 1.5x: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hLmDS179YE

2. The I completed the first 4 practice exams here:
   https://kananinirav.com/practice-exam/exams.html
   I know the questions are not equally weighted but I needed something to track my progress so my scores were 54%; 58%; 64% and 72% respectively.

3. I scored 44% on these 30 questions:
   https://www.whizlabs.com/blog/aws-cloud-practitioner-certification-questions/

4. Skimmed thru these 10 questions
   https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Sample-Questions.pdf

5. Solved all the questions here and got 74% overall. At this point, questions looked mostly similar.
   https://awslagi.com/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner/

6. As a last step, I solved all the questions here. I did not track my score on this one.
   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXz2nFPCgX8

As a final note, I learned from questions and answers the most. I used chatgpt on the side to make sense of things from time to time. I copied the question with the choices and the chatgpt gave me the detailed answer that helped me understand better. Sometimes, practice exams have wrong answer keys. If you doubt the supposed answer, google the question or ask it to the chatgpt.

I work in an Indian IT company and my company gave me a voucher to complete this exam in 1 month. But due to lot of work load I could not study anything. I got 1 day to prepare for this exam and i took my chances. Although I don't have any prior experience in cloud i still have done my btech from cs and work in the IT field, so I am not totally new to this . But I passed with a score of 781. Fyi-I don't recommend anyone to do this as it defeats the purpose of the certification that is to learn in depth. This was my prep-

1. I did" [EXAM REVIEWER] AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02" course by Neal davis. This is 5 hour course on udemy..

2. Then I did "AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Practice Exams CLF-C02" 6 practice tests again by Neal davis.

That's it.

I am posting this because I know a lot of folks who are afraid of exams, they might be super good with The tech but might fumble on the mcqs. Just be comfortable that it can be done even in a day and don't take up too many resources take one up and complete it to the end with complete focus.

I'm excited to share a comprehensive AWS certification practice pack with you! As someone who has navigated the AWS certification journey, I understand the importance of having access to quality study materials. That's why I've created this free resource pack featuring three complete practice exams:

You can access all three practice exams here

• AWS Cloud Practitioner

• AWS Solutions Architect Associate

• AWS AI Practitioner

Each practice exam features hundreds of carefully selected questions covering all essential exam topics and domains. You can choose between two formats:

• Basic mode: 35 questions, 40-minute duration

• Full mode: 65 questions, 90-minute duration

Key Features:

• Real-time score tracking during the exam

• Detailed answer review to learn from your mistakes

• Randomized questions for more effective studying

• Comprehensive coverage of all exam domains

• Matches the real exam format and difficulty

While these practice exams are valuable study tools, remember that hands-on experience is crucial! I highly recommend complementing your studies with AWS Skillbuilder for practical experience.

I developed these practice exams with dedication and care to support our community. While you'll find information about contributing to the project within the links, rest assured they will always remain completely free, regardless of contributions. I believe quality AWS certification preparation should be accessible to everyone!

Hey guys just a general question to anyone whose passed the Cloud Practitioner exam, how many days did you study or hours per day did you study to feel comfortable to do the test? Did you find the test hard?

Hey y'all, just passed the exam and I'm dropping what I did below since other posts like this helped me.

1. Take a course (I took Stephane Maarek's on Udemy) (Name: [NEW] Ultimate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 2025) (~14 hrs, speedran most of it on 1.5x)

2. Took notes (not very extensive notes) https://magazinerollsplus.notion.site/AWS-Cloud-Practitioner-135e305c5f0680508b62c2e37e94f984?pvs=4

3. Took a bunch of easy practice exams from Github which helped me solidify concepts but they were easy compared to the harder practice exams and the actual exam (https://github.com/kananinirav/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner-Notes/blob/master/practice-exam/practice-exam-1.md) (~12 easy exams until I was consistently getting 80%)

4. Used ChatGpt to figure out why I got questions wrong and made my own questions to remember concepts and not just memorize questions https://quizlet.com/969557122/aws-ccp-things-i-didnt-know-flash-cards/?i=zskml&x=1jqt (this took longer than the actual practice exams but this is where I really solidified concepts ~5 hours)

5. Scheduled the exam WAYY before I was ready (getting barely 70% on easy exams and took a hard practice and got a 50%) (Name: [2024] AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner [CLF-C02] 6 Practice Tests + Exam Simulator + Explanations + AWS Cheat Sheets) (~5 hard exams, 2 of which I took the day of)

6. Rescheduled the exam twice (still could've studied more). At this point I took 5 out of 6 practice exams which took me around 15-20 minutes to complete, I did not double check and I got 81-87% on my first try for all of those. (~35 minutes including setup and I did not double check my answers because I have really bad submission anxiety)

Things I would change:
- I was always really stressed out when taking the practice exams and speedran them so I would practice taking my time to double-check
- The 2 Udemy courses I used were both paid for so I'm not sure if I would use them both again, the course was pretty extensive and detailed and I liked the similarity of the "hard" practice exams to the actual exam

Things I would do again:
- Taking the easy exams to solidify concepts let me not waste attempts for the "harder" practice exams
- Asked a friend to validate the similarity of the Github exams to the actual exam (they were easier and I would've only done those if I didn't ask her)
- Quizlet to study and remember concepts I keep missing
- I was really bad at studying for this exam so it took me 1.5 months to actually get everything done but I think it made my review more spaced repetition-esque

My background:
- I know nothing about AWS
- I just started a SWE job and have no idea what I'm doing and also barely use AWS
- I'm relatively good at standardized testing
- Used a friend's Windows laptop since my Mac was tweaking every time I ran the PearsonVUE software

I recently took the AWS Cloud practitioner exam and failed it the first time I took it. I did online practice exams as well as bought a Udemy course that highlights all of the exam materials. Are there any other resources that I can utilize to pass the certification exam?

I'm looking for free Aws cloud practitioner practice exams, I can't seem to find full exams for free and I don't have the money to pay for practice exams

Hi everyone, I'm preparing for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam and I have some questions. I've already completed Stephen Mareek's course on Udemy but that was for the old version of the exam (CLF-C01). I know the new version (CLF-C02) has been live only since yesterday, but has anyone taken it yet? If so, how was it and what did you think of it?

I reviewed the changes in the AWS Official CLF-C02 exam guide and it looks like there is more emphasis on AWS CAF, which the Udemy course doesn't cover in much detail. I'm wondering how much depth I need to know about this framework and where can I find some good resources for it.

Also, all the practice tests online are tailored to CLF-C01, so I'm not sure how accurate they are for CLF-C02. Do you have any recommendations for practice tests that are updated for the new exam?

I appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thanks in advance!

Update: I took the exam & passed. Made a new post detailing my experience [Passed AWS CCP CLF-C02!! : AWSCertifications (reddit.com)]. Thank you to everyone who replied to the post, I appreciate all the support and guidance.

I got hit by hard questions on AWS Prescriptive Guidance, AWS Well-Architected Framework and even AWS Machine Learning services (SageMaker, Rekognition etc) plus the new AWS services (AWS Audit Manager, MemoryDB for Redis etc). RI discounts and Spot Pricing questions also surprised me.

To those who are saying that the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam is just a walk in a park, the exam definitely isn't! I'm not sure if its because there would be a new CLF-C02 exam version and AWS included those new concepts/services in the current exam, but in all honesty, I did enjoy taking this test. It's not overly difficult but you have to know a plethora of AWS services and their corresponding features.

In terms of exam prep, I used the CloudQuest game as an initial exam prep for the test. I do like gamified learning and the included AWS labs are definitely a bonus. My only pet peeve is the slow provision of those labs. Also did the Tutorials Dojo course and used all the available labs on the course. It's a good reviewer before drilling their practice exams and explanations.

My advice to those who are planning to take this test is to never take this exam lightly. Make sure that you read the official exam guide from cover to cover, and use that to guide you in your self-study.
