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?

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!

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

Thank you to all who are sharing their exam experiences in this sub. I recently passed the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam - CLF-C02 and planning to continue studying until I pass the SAA-C03. I also passed the Kubernetes Cloud Native Associate KCNA exam a few months after and I think the Cloud Native and Cloud Computing really complements each other.

SAA-C03 exam next!

Hey everyone, today, I successfully passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam via Pearson OnVUE, and I wanted to share my experience to help those preparing for the exam—especially if you encounter technical issues.

1. Network Check Issue During System Test

When running the system check, my network test kept failing, even though my internet speed was quite good (12 Mbps). After multiple retries and some research, I found that the issue was related to the access code.

Tip: Use the access code from the first time you download the system check executable. If you experience a network issue despite having a strong connection, try generating a new access code.

2. Internet Connection Requirement – Wired vs. Mobile Hotspot

Pearson strongly recommends using a wired connection (no WiFi or mobile hotspots) for stability. However, my ADSL connection was too slow, so I had no choice but to use my mobile hotspot. It worked fine, and I passed the exam without issues.

Tip: If your wired connection is unreliable, a mobile hotspot can work—just ensure your mobile internet speed is stable and fast enough.

3. Pearson OnVUE Support is Excellent

I encountered an issue when launching the exam, but Pearson Vue’s support team immediately called me and relaunched the exam to resolve the problem. Their support was very professional and helpful.

4. Don’t Panic If You’re Late for Check-in

My exam was scheduled for 1:30 PM, and the policy stated that check-in should begin 15-30 minutes before the exam time. However, I started my check-in right at 1:30 PM, and my exam began at 1:55 PM. I was still able to complete the process successfully.

Tip: If you’re running a bit late for check-in, don’t stress—you still have a chance to complete the process and start your exam.

I hope these tips help anyone planning to take an AWS certification exam via Pearson OnVUE. Good luck to everyone preparing!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Does anyone have any recommendations for practice exams that I can take that aren't too expensive? I remember when I first got Stephane Marek's course on Udemy his 6 practice tests were on a discount but I didn't buy it because I didn't know if I would need it and now its at $100 dollars... I've heard people speak about how practice tests helped them a lot and I'm really stressed as it is in two days, any help would be appreciated

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

Hi, I’m planning on taking aws cloud practitioner certificate in my aws journey. Looking for some good resources from where I can prepare. Thanks

Thank you for this community for the continuous encouragement and support. Seeing those who recently passed the exam really helped me fight the laziness to study and to keep focused. Sharing my exam experience and several aws cloud practitioner exam questions I encountered:

Important topics encountered:

• AWS Shared Responsibility Model - Lots of questions asking who's responsible to what (AWS vs Customer)

• AWS Well-Architected (WA) Framework - Questions on which particular WA Pillar is being described

• AWS Support Plans

• AWS Pricing

• Advantages of Cloud Computing

• AWS Services ( a lot of them)

The exam is mostly composed of one-liner questions with some odd ones with 3-4 sentences. Stumbled upon some hard questions on EC2 Reserved Pricing (e.g which one is cheaper: Standard vs Convertible on a given 3-year team) and knowing who is responsible for IT Controls/Zone Security (AWS vs Customer) plus Dedicated Instance vs Dedicated Hosts.

All topics were covered by the TD practice exams and course. I also used the cheat sheets to quickly review the summarized bullet points of each AWS topic. There are no new AWS services too that were released in the past 6 months like Amazon Bedrock, VPC Lattice etc..

My Exam Prep stuff:

• Tutorials Dojo course, labs & practice exams: https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/courses/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-clf-c01-video-course/

• CLF-C01 Exam Guide https://d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-cloud-practitioner/AWS-Certified-Cloud-Practitioner_Exam-Guide.pdf (check the Appendix section to view the complete AWS services included)

• FreeCodeCamp Cloud Practitioner YouTube course by Andrew Brown

SAA-C03 exam next!

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!

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.

6. As a last step, I solved all the questions here. I did not track my score on this one.

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.

Hello, my exam for clf-c02 is in 7th December. So far I have went through these for preparations:

Ultimate AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 and this 6 Practice Exams | AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02. What else should I do to for a good preparations within this time?

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 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

I am a newbie and have no prior knowledge of AWS. Starting with some Linked In Learning courses. I have completed 1, plan to do 4-5 more. The trainer claims these prepare you for the exam.

I want to understand:

• How should one prepare? Will LinkedIn Learnings suffice?

• Is there any book / guide that one can refer?

• I would prefer free resources at this stage. so please suggest them as well.
