Common mistakes to avoid
- Over-studying one area (for example, only security) and neglecting cost or performance trade-offs.
- Choosing services you remember instead of the best-fit architecture for the scenario.
- Skipping hands-on practice with networking, IAM, storage, compute, and monitoring fundamentals.
- Ignoring rescheduling/expiry timelines after you receive the voucher code—book early to reduce risk.
- Treating the exam like a “service recall” test rather than a “design decision” test.
