Recently I appeared "AWS solution architect associate certification" Certification exam and pleased to tell that I have pursued it with good score 80.4% For more details of this examination you can go to https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-solutions-architect-associate/
My pleasure to share my personal experience while preparing this examination as follows:
- Choose right certificate as per your skill set and interest.
Reference: https://aws.amazon.com/certification/?nav=tc&loc=3 - Here we are talking about AWS solution architect associate certification only, so please go through all details of the exam.
- Exam time: 130 minutes, Cost: 150 USD (Practice exam: 20 USD)
- Courses and material followed by me:
a) Udemy online course : https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate/
Very helpful but it's not only sufficient.
b) Whizlabs test papaers: https://www.whizlabs.com/aws-solutions-architect-associate/
It helped so much to understand actual examination. Standard of questions is very similar to the actual exam. Please analyse your answers, read description and justification properly after the practice test.
c) Simplilearn online training: https://www.simplilearn.com/cloud-computing/aws-solution-architect-associate-training
It helped to me make hand dirty with AWS resources and services by using in some dummy project/requirements.
d) AWS Best Practices whitepaper, AWS Well-Architected webpage (various whitepapers linked)
e) AWS FAQ, specially associated to EC2, Load balancer, Route53, S3, RDS etc.
f) Self notes for revision perspective.
e) Playing with AWS services in AWS free account - Expected preparation time: If you have almost one year hands on experience using different services then 60-80 hours may require to be get ready for exam or ** condition applied, it matters person to person 😏.
- Unluckily if you didn't get chance to have your hands dirty with AWS resources then you need to put more effort 😓 for AWS practice from your own on AWS free account . It's very hard nut to crack with study only😆.
- Before to go to actual exam, please go through the practice exam first and assess yourself.
- You can mark "Flag" any question. Before to start exam, please make time plan (time per question) and reserve 10-20 minutes to review the skipped or doubtful answers.
- Please reach your exam center at least 30 minutes before to time. If everything is Ok then they will allow to start the exam before to time itself.
If I am able to remind some more information, will append here in future. Best of luck and Thanks to read 👍.

The post you have shared is based upon the solid information and something that is super helpful for so many and gives you the pathway when you are feeling hesitant or helpless. I literally needed this because so many times I was racking my brain like what am I doing was not showing value. I also found some other interesting blogs on JanBask Training onAWS Solution Architect They were also very interesting.
