Common mistakes to avoid
- Studying only services you recognize and ignoring architecture trade-offs (security vs. cost vs. resilience).
- Memorizing terminology without applying it to scenarios (the exam emphasizes design decisions).
- Booking too early without completing hands-on labs; you may lose time on setup and review.
- Skipping security and reliability topics—these areas commonly appear as solution requirements in scenarios.
- Not checking scheduling rules on the booking page (online vs. test center options and rescheduling windows vary).
