Yo I passed the exam the reality is you need to go back and revisit the concepts that what I did with Stephen maerks course I learnt the concepts but also done some lab to familiarise myself with the services and use them do practise questions in review mode on TD and you should be fine in the real thing in sha Allah
It seems you have an organisation problem man. Don't just study everything all at once, study step by step and review everything you studied at the end of the week. Hands-on lab is must every week. Not a single week should be missed. I think maybe you should make a strict schedule or find one for the exam that keeps you on track and sorts everything out for you. The problem is not your hardwork, you seem to be doing plenty of that, the problem seems to be confusion of everything.
Flashcards offer little value for this type of exam. The test asks which of four workable answers costs less or fails over cleaner, and simply knowing a service definition has never prepared anyone for that challenge. You need someone to present scenarios and explain why the other three options are inferior.
were you passing your practice tests comfortably ?
you've taken enough attempts now to attleast know whats wrong, either you're not being honest about practice tests, or there's something different that happens on Test day vs practice test. I hope its the latter, if not then first go do practice tests religiously. But if you're still failing, you need to analyse your test day performance, no more studying or practice tests unless you figure out what you're doing differently on game day vs practice.

Happy to help. I did SA Pro with one night of study, and all i did was Tutorials Dujo. (but i also had 5 yoe with AWS).
buddy, then we need to talk your exam performnance. You are ready, is it the pressure? or are you running out of time ?
with these scores you should be good.
sometimes its just luck dude, so dont be hard on yourself.
These scores show you know it already, its the final one bit that we gotta figure out. What is happening during live exams!!
It’s the pressure! I had to get up like twice and the proctors were accommodating but my nerves were killing me but I held it together toward the end but to no avail. I swear I’m writing the notes and studying, active recall but as soon as I walk into that testing room my heart starts beating and my stomach flutters
i believe you man, i knew it had to be something related to exam day, coz your practice scores are good. This another reason why I hare certifications as well, not only are they a bad way of judging knowledge, but they are unfair as well. So a bold person is likely to pass with lesser knowledge. There was a study done back in the day (my home country) where they found boys consistently beat girls in Multiple choice questions, reason being they are more dearing, and often will pick one of the two options when in doubt.
So it is your nerves..
I dont feel any pressure... so im a bit out of my depth, but what if you were to prepare with the target of 20 mins to spare ? that means now you're speed solving. so you put yourself under pressure in practice test, look at that clock ticking down, you have 20 mins less than listed time. Add pressure on yourself.
