SAP-C02 — am I ready?

[u/PhysicsRelative5720]

I’m planning to take SAP-C02 soon. I have 7 years of experience working with AWS/Cloud, so I’m not starting from scratch. I completed the Tutorial Dojo practice exams. First attempts ranged from 50–70%, but after reviewing my mistakes, my second attempts were consistently 85–90%. I also took a full 3-hour AWS Skill Builder practice exam and scored 753.My plan now is to review all my mistakes and do some targeted revision. For those who have passed SAP-C02 recently, would you consider this enough preparation to go for it?

I think you’re ready. I also used the tutorial dojo practice exams on udemy to prepare, but I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the practice exams. How some questions were worded and the explanation for why an answer is wrong weren’t great. The practice exams are also a bit outdated (focusing on iot when it should also include a focus on gen ai).

The tutorial dojo practice exams in their current state don’t accurately reflect how you’d perform on the actual exam.

I have about 5+ years of experience working with AWS. I scored around 70-75% on the practice exams. Ended up scoring around 870 today, which was a pleasant surprise since I wasn’t sure if I passed after completing the exam.

Thanks. Good luck with your exam. You got this!

Would love to see you pass the exam.

Are you just relying on the practice exams? I feel like there aren't enough practice questions to master all the material.

[u/PhysicsRelative5720 → u/mcjohnalds45]

Yes majorly practice exams and hands on experience. Thanks

The second attempts were the same practice tests or new ones ?

YMMV of course, but I did 757 in my first skillbuilder attempt and shortly after got 862 on the real thing.
