I had some doubts about a few questions (and I looked up a few things afterwards and knew where I'd gone wrong in those cases), but I think I was confident in answers to more than 13 of the questions.ġ.0 Design for Organizational Complexity: 50%ĥ.0 Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions: 85% Unfortunately my confidence was somewhat misplaced as when I got the results I had only 65% correct (13/20). ![]() In the end I finished the 20 questions in about 35 minutes, and I felt pretty good about most of my answers and was surprised that some of the questions were relatively straightforward (of course what seems straightforward mostly had to do with which services I've been using for the last 5 years). I've heard that a lot of people struggle with time on the test, so I tried to go through the questions quickly only pausing when I was unsure. The full test lasts for 3 hours, and apparently contains 75-80 questions, so you have less time per question. The practice test gives you an hour to answer 20 questions, so 3 minutes for each. ![]() The sample tests contain 20 questions and normally cost $20, but I had a coupon for a free practice test from a previous certification I'd taken. In the past AWS did not provide the answers for these sample questions, so you could never be quite sure whether you had them right, but now all of them appear to have the answers and a short explanation (that's the really useful bit for questions you get wrong).Īfter that positive result, I decided to dive in and take the official practice test that you can register for at and going into the certification sub-portal. ![]() Last weekend I was working on preparing a talk about AWS certifications (it looks like I will be presenting it at the upcoming AWS Community Day Midwest), and as part of that I was including sample questions for the different certifications.ĪWS provides 10 sample questions for each certification, and the ones for the SA Professional certification can be found on the certification page alongside the exam guide.Īs I hadn't actually gone through this version of the sample questions before, I decided to treat them like a mini test, and was fairly pleased to get 8 out of 10 right.
