Prepare before you book
Book after you’ve completed enough practice to confidently answer scenario-based questions.
Use our preparation resources to identify gaps early: free mock exams. Passing a mock exam unlocks extra voucher discounts, helping you reduce costs while you validate your exam readiness.
A practical workflow:
- Review each AWS exam domain
- Do hands-on labs for the services you’re weakest in
- Take a mock exam under timed conditions
- Re-study the domains that score lowest
Common mistakes to avoid
- Memorizing service names without understanding architecture trade-offs (security vs cost vs performance)
- Skipping IAM/VPC fundamentals and then losing points on scenario questions
- Ignoring “design” questions that require selecting the best overall solution
- Not checking the voucher expiry and forgetting vendor rescheduling windows
- Waiting until after you buy to start practice—scenario-based questions reward preparation
