 AWS Certified Solutions Architect — Associate 2022 by A Cloud Guru

I am a massive fan of A Cloud Guru and Ryan Kroonenburg, and as the name suggests, they are really the gurus when it comes to cloud, server less, and AWS certifications. All the people I spoke to suggested this certification course, which speaks volumes about its usefulness. Even in Udemy, the course is trusted by almost half a million students, which is fantastic.


 Solve Practice Tests
 Also known as practice tests or exam simulators, this is the single biggest thing that can be the difference in just passing the exam or scoring well.

2.  Mock tests have several benefits like:

#1. They train you to solve problems in a limited amount of time, which is really important. I know many people who have just got 5 to 10 questions wrong because of time pressure.

#2. Practice tests also help you to consolidate and solidify your learning because when you answer the question, your mind works. It recalls and analyzes concepts to answer the question, which helps you to remember the idea longer and also understand it better.

#3. Mock tests also help you to find out your preparation level. If you went for the Whizlabs test and found that you can only score 50%, then you not ready for the exam, and you need more study and practice. Similarly, they also help you to pinpoint your weak areas, I mean, where you need more focus.

Now that you know Mock tests are essential, here are some of my recommended practice tests for AWS Solution Architect Associate exams.

Along with online courses, Udemy also has some practice tests sold as online courses that you can use for preparing for the AWS solution architect exam. Out of many AWS SAA-C01 and AWS SAA-C02 Practice tests on Udemy, I recommend these two, both are the most up-to-date tests:

Stéphane Maarek and Abhishek Singh who bring their collective experience of passing 18 AWS Certifications to the table._

4 Jon Bonson’s AWS Solution Architect Practice tests (390 questions)

5 Read AWS White Papers
