Exam Scoring

The exam is scored as follows:

• 65 Questions
• 50 of them are scored
  • 15 can be answered wrong (72% necessary score)
• 15 unscored questions (no penalty for getting them wrong)
• Use the “Flag” feature to mark questions you want to re-visit

The exam duration is 130 minutes (2 minutes per question). Certification is valid for 3 years.

Tips

• Most questions are going to be scenario based
• For all the questions, rule out answers that you know for sure are wrong
• For the remaining answers, understand which one makes the most sense
• There are very few trick questions
• Don’t over-think it
• If a solution seems feasible but highly complicated, it’s probably wrong
• Read each service’s FAQ (e.g. https://aws.amazon.com/de/lambda/faqs/), they cover a lot of the questions asked at the exam
