I took the test and passed on my first try. The entire exam with preparation took around 5 months of dedicated studying. The hardest part of the exam was not just the depth of the material but also the mental stamina!
You put in the work and it paid off! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Please share the tips in detail. I am planning for the same.
@@agilebase1396 I did 3 lab days a week + lectures with two practice test days each week for the first three months. In the last two months I did a shorter lab/lecture session and did 30 practice test questions. The purpose of the final two months was to simulate the mental fatigue of the 75 question exam by doing a lab session before.
@ang8209 thanks so much for your tips...did u have aws background before taking exam? Did u work with AWS before taking exam?
@@miraclemind5656 yup I did work with a few of their popular technologies on AWS like lambda, Alexa, aurora, dynamoDB and EC2!
Outstanding one of the best breaksowns of aws solutions certs i have seen.
Thank you! See you in the next video!
Hi Greg, I'm not sure what options are offered for this question posed at the end of the video, but off the top of my head, it seems like one improvement would be to migrate away from running EC2 instances, which seem poorly used given the reqirements and place a Lambda function on the queue. Given the frequency of data being placed on the queue, it might be better to set the batch window on the Lambda to not poll too often - or use Event Bridge to schedule the lambda to read the queue.
More sample questions here:
d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-pro/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Professional_Sample-Questions.pdf
better to allocate a shard per 2 devices. Additionally, replace the ec2 with lambda to pull the messages from queue every hour and do the processing.
Thanks for viewing!
Hi Bro, Am writing the exam tomorrow, will come back with a feed back guys. Wish me luck
Just to let you know, I passed my SAP-C02 today(Candidate Score: 883 ) Thanks for the advice
AWSome! Congrats!
Thank you for your video. I took the test today and got 667/750. My score report was sent but it was too vague. Is there anyway that I can analyze my score so I would know what I should focus on next time?
Don't worry, it's a tough one to clear. I would review the exam guide again and identify which areas you're not as knowledgable in and focus on those areas more the second time around.
I was a Dell pre sales solutions architect, got laid off in December, I’m studying for the associate SA certification, I just took cloud practitioner and passed it, we relocated for this job, I have a daughter to provide for. What is a good entry level position or job title I can look for that will work back towards a career as SA. I’m ok with starting from the bottom.
It's great to see you pushing forward after a tough December. The pre sales experience is going to be great background for a Solutions Architect role. Associate Solutions Architect is an early in career level. You're on the right track with AWS SA Associate. Make sure to get hands on experience as well.
With your experience you can look for cloud practioner jobs under Junior Cloud Engineer, Cloud Support Associate, Business Development Manager, System Administrator, Cloud Sales Executive. Good luck to you
Thank you for this content 🙏🏽 I have Sec+ and SAA - looking for a role in Cloud Security. Should I train for SAP or can go straight to the Security speciality? Thank you!
You could go either way, but I feel AWS SA Pro would give you great depth of knowledge that would benefit you later
Thank you!!
I never did well on tests, almost flunked out of high school, but I've built some of the best tech on earth, none the less.
You’ve done incredible work! 🙌
@@ThoughtfulTechyCloud YOU!
I have a 10+ years of software development experience. I have the AWS Developer Accociate certification and been using commonly used AWS services for last 2-3 years. Should I sit for SAA or SAP, please suggest. Thanks
I would go for SAA next
Just a stab in the dark here but I would move the auto scaling group to a lambda function and reduce the number of shards
d1.awsstatic.com/training-and-certification/docs-sa-assoc/AWS-Certified-Solutions-Architect-Associate_Sample-Questions.pdf
How many months of studying would you recommend for someone like myself who has the associate cert?
I would say 2 months minimum for AWS SA Pro
@@ThoughtfulTechyCloud Thank you sir!
I recently got my developer associate certification, is this one a good next step?
Congrats! Do you have your AWS Solutions Architect Associate? If not I would focus on that first and combine it with hands on practice. Then step up to AWS SA Pro
@@ThoughtfulTechyCloudThanks, I don't have the AWS Solutions Architect Associate. I have fully hands-on experience, as in my current job we use AWS. But most of the time we use terraform to set up the infrastructure.
