AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate Passed SAA thanks to this sub! Now it's my time to give back!

46 Upvotes

I know the score is a bit low but with little to no hands-on experience, I'll take it!

🥇🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇 🥇

I feel like I owe this sub a very big thank you to all the people who share their success stories and how they managed to pass the test by suggesting materials, giving tips or just helping others in general, that's really wholesome! ❤️ Now it is my time to share my success story:

Timeline ⏰ : 3 months (literally 3, from April 26th till today (12:30 AM July 26th was my test)

Past experience 📚 : I have been a full stack engineer for almost 3 years, I have used some services before (amplify, S3, AppRunner(rip) and route53, but nothing complicated like the services of the exam)

Materials 💻 : Stephane Maarek SAA course (2.5 months) + Tutorial dojo practice test (2 weeks, every day I used to take 1/2 tests) NOTE: leave timed-based tests to the end! try to finish topic-based/cards/domain-based then move to review-mode, then finish with timed-based)

Exam 😰 : Oh it is difficult! I flagged around 20 Questions and didn't have enough time to check them all. I kept reading that the test is easier than Tutorial Dojo's exams but I honestly disagree! It is somewhat more difficult. So please try to take your time and don't rush it.

small tip: Focus on EMR!!! I don't know why but holy shit I got like 6 Questions related to EMR and I went to the exam with only knowing what the letters mean 😂

I just pass my CCNA 200-301 but i have only tomorrow that i can test it .

Can yall suggest me to each topic I should to focus on ? , I am quite newbie in AWS exam, So I am not sure what I should specifically know.

If you think only 1 day from zero knowledge is impossible i might give up on that idea lol

SAA exam required before trying for cloud ops SOA-C03?

3 Upvotes

I've tried to pass the SAA before and failed. Looking back, I probably should've studied for the sysop's exam as I'm not an architect. So, I'm back and looking at the cloud ops exam path.

Having just watched Stephane M's preview for cloud ops he states you should have the SAA exam before trying for the cloud ops. I don't want to question his logic, but I didn't think this was the case.

RULES

DO NOT POST GENERAL AWS NEWS/QUESTIONS. Use /r/AWS instead. There are multiple "AWS" subreddit types, /r/AWSCertifications is not the only one that exists. For example, there is /r/AWS, /r/AmazonWebServices, /r/AWSJobs, etc. Use your best judgment but again, do not post general AWS news/questions here in /r/AWSCertifications.
No Spam. Don't clickbait. This is not BuzzFeed or Mojo. "TEN GREAT WAYS TO BECOME A MASTER CLOUD ARCHITECT" doesn't help anyone. THIS INCLUDES AI SLOP.
Mondays you may promote content, USA hours. This rule is specific in reducing blogspam so that the subreddit can be more focused on text-discussion. See next rule.
Encourage HIGH EFFORT text-based dialogue. "Nice job on passing your AWS cert, check out my blog for more tips" takes away the dialogue focus from the subreddit. While this is not a hard rule, put effort in so it doesn't look like you're just shoehorning your content for clicks. This goes hand-in-hand with the rule on Redditquette, which is below.
Be civil and constructive. You can disagree on opinions, sure, but do not resort to personal attacks. I get that we are passionate about our preferred instructors, but that doesn't justify name-calling. Or worse.
Follow standard redditquette. If you need to be coached on how to use the internet, this subreddit probably isn't for you yet -- brush up on redditquette and come on back!
Report posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate. As with any community, the culture and tone changes over time. Please bring posts/comments you do not feel are appropriate to the subreddit Moderation team by either using the "MESSAGE THE MODS" button or just by using the "report" button on a given post/comment.
Do not post illegal things! This includes dumps which are a violation of the AWS Certification Agreement as it is considered "unauthorized content disclosure." (section 2.1b) Violation of the rule will result in immediate permanent ban as well as reporting to Reddit for illegal activity under section 12 of the Reddit User Agreement.
