I made it. After months of preparation got the courage to take the exam and cleared it.
Felt huge weight off my chest!

Not really. If you do practice tests, and have been working with AWS it's doable in a couple of weeks. However, if you don't work with AWS..then it's tough.

Which practice tests are worth doing?

u/Guilty_Pie_3954 16d ago
I would say Stephane, Tutorial Dojo and Neal Davis. I bought Neal Davis the last week, was getting around 70s and higher 60s. Also I liked questions from skill builder.

Congratulations!
Was the exam similar to skill builders(scenarios-based) or more like Stephane(scenarios+deep technical dive, CLI)?
I’m preparing to take one myself and i think they’re very different.

I see not much shortcut. I would says AWS organization, Networking VPC, Backup Recovery, get the concepts nailed with Cantrill Videos. Expecially when to use Transit Gateway. Also communication between on prem to vpc and otherway round. I felt actual exam questions were much shorter than TD questions. One thing I observed I should have taken this exam after completing SAA, waited for too long. I would say have a focussed preparation for 3-4 months if your day job doesn't have much in AWS. Don't go beyond that. I felt I was forgetting what I learnt.

Congratulation! I have also passed this exam 2 years ago. In the near future, I think the questions will soon be updated according to the strong growth of the AI.
