Passed SAA-C03 few days back with 910/1000. Thanks for this community for providing me the necessary information required for preparing. My prior experience as an intern at Amazon gave me a strong foundation, which allowed me to complete my studies in just five days. However, I still took four TD practice exams to get a feel for the actual test. I had previously gone through https://topitexam.com/ before my internship to know the basics of most the services.
I believe that everyone's preparation time will vary depending on their background and experience. My advice is to focus on building small projects or reading service-related whitepapers for a deeper understanding.
Since the exam focuses solely on theory rather than hands-on implementation, it can become monotonous, which might make it hard to stay motivated. To keep things interesting, consider the exam as just a side goal. Prioritize learning practical skills by building and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like AWS CDK, or even something fun like setting up a Minecraft server. These real-world projects will not only make the learning process more engaging but also deepen your understanding of the concepts.
It's also crucial to spend time reviewing your answers, especially to understand why you might have chosen the wrong ones (even if it was just a guess). Of course, I had my share of lucky guesses by eliminating incorrect options, but I was fortunate to recall much of the documentation I'd studied during my projects, which helped me answer some of the exam questions.
Note: I had taken the exam as it was on 33% off and my friend was taking it and now it is on 50% off 💀
If anyone needs guidance or advice, I'm happy to help!
