Hey Pete, Nice video and congratulations on passing the exam. I just passed my Cloud Practitioner exam few weeks ago and now starting my learning journey for SAA-C02 exam.
+1 for Jon Bonsos practice tests ; Also if you take the exam at a test facility you can use scratch paper which I found useful for diagrams etc Congratulations!
hey brother if we do john bonso papers what kind of complexity that we can expect in the real exam ?? how will be the questions will they be taking too much time of ours or will they be more complex and high standard than the questions in the john bonso. thanks could you kindly please reply.
The laptop charger tip is so important. I know from experience, my laptop battery died while I was writing the AWS cloud practitioner exam. I passed, but I'm still traumatized.
Hi there. Congratulations on your passing the exam. I want to know a few things from you .. 1. Do you have questions where you get the answer immediately just after reading the answer or all the questions are design types where you need to think through the architecture and then answer? 2. In terms of difficulty levels, how would you compare Udemy Jon bonso practice exams with real exams? 3. Approximately how many long questions were there whose questions are also long and so are the options .. ?
Hey Santanu, 1. Yes, there were a few questions that gave you the instinct right away with what the correct answer was. For example, with the keyword of "auto-scaling," your intuition right away points to Auto Scaling Group. Same for things like "decouple microservices" think Simple Queue Service. 2. From my perspective, I thought the AWS exam was slightly harder than the exams by Jon Bonso. But only by a small margin. This might be just because of the way a few questions were worded through me off. 3. Most of the long questions did not have lengthy options. I would say about 20% of the exam questions were lengthy. When it came to some of these lengthy questions it's just about focusing on the keyword that the question is asking. With one of the tips in the video, using the process of elimination based on the keywords from the question will help tremendously. Best of luck!
I took Stephane's and Neal Davis courses. While Stephane has exceptional AWS knowledge, I didn't connect with his accent (no offence intended) and the speed he talks. Even if you slowdown the play speed in Udemy, it sounds really odd. I wholly trust Neal's tutorial and practice exams. I also took Jon Bonso, Stephane and Neal's practice tests and once again found Neal's exam question format close to the real one followed by Jon Bonso's. Stephane's exams are way too overboard and overly worded. For my Pro Architect preparation I decided to stick with Neal Davis' course and exam. Now, after passing my cloud practitioner and associate architect exams, I am more than confident to crack the pro exam using just Neal's material. I may take Jon Bonso's mock exams as well. Anyways, my 2 cents worth.
@@devshah4030 Thanks for your comment Shah and congrats on passing your exams. I also thought that Stephane's exams were a bit too wordy but I enjoyed his course and wanted to validate my knowledge irrespective of how the question was constructed by whomever. I'll have to check out Neal David for when I take my professional exam too. It seems his content is worth looking into. -Pete
@@pete_win No worries. Neal's teaching style is more like a one-on-one, very calm and at a right pace and more importantly to the point without any extra fluff.
Hey Acha, Thanks for your comment & congrats on passing your exam! The cloud industry has many different domains. If you want to work primarily in cloud, I would look at cloud engineer roles local to you & look at what skills they are searching for. Try to generalize all the skills which most cloud engineer roles are required to have. For example, if many different cloud roles in your area are looking for AWS & various services in AWS, that would be a good starting point to see what skills are needed. In addition, I would apply for them & see what information you can get out of the interview. Even if you fail, you get the exposure in terms of knowing what kind of questions are asked in these interviews. Hope this help & best of luck Acha! -Pete
Hi mate really good video.. Currently doing my exam and will be booking mine this Saturday.. just scared really, I’m using digital cloud training would you recommend Udemy practice exams. The course I bought in digital cloud has practice exam also but just wanted some advice…
I've heard some really good things about Neal Davis and his courses through Digital Cloud Training. I would say it really depends on your confidence level with the practice exams your currently taking. If you're getting around 70% in the practice exams, you're ready to pass the real exam. If you think you still need additional exam prep then I would recommend the tests by Jon Bonso. Best of luck and you got this!
@@pete_win sorry but I slightly beg to differ. You should get at least 80% in mock exams before you attempt the real one. Just to be on safe side. Well, that's my personal experience anyway. I passed mine couple of weeks back.
@@devshah4030 Thanks for your comment. Considering most practice exam courses include +- (plus or minus) 6 test exams, if you score on average 70% on all of your exams, you should have what it takes to pass the exam. Having at least 80% with your practice exams would indeed improve your chances.
@@pete_win Sorry my bad, I was referring to Neal's mock exams for 80% + scores. Stephane and Dojos are a bit tough to get 80% as they seem to be more difficult than the real exam.
Hey Anil, I have a few videos in the pipeline and I don't think I can make a video on this exact topic. Here are some references I found that may help though. aws.amazon.com/certification/certification-prep/testing/ Thanks. -Pete
Hi , I passed my practioners exam last week [03/2023] in advice on how you prepared for the Associate Archetect exam in a bit more detail would be good.
Thanks for the video. I have one doubt Can you please explain about your youtube channel name Pete Win and why you have added Win in the name? Just curious to know
Thanks for your sharing. Did you follow all hands on lab from Stephane? The curriculum is desirably large for the candidates who didn't have related experience. How can you remember the contents effectively?
Hey there, Yeah, I did follow all of the hands on lab from Stephane's course. In terms of remembering the content effectively, I would try and generalize most of the services in AWS. For example, when you think of data storage, I would correlate this general topic with RDS, S3, DynamoDB, Redshift, memoryDB. In addition, once you get to the point where you're taking practice exams, you come to understand the theme of most questions. They come in the form of particular keywords that you can map back to these generalizations. Best of luck.
Hey Ahipue, I would suggest preparring for the exam by utilizing the practice tests. Once you are in confident in those, you will feel ready to take the exam. Best of luck. Peter
@@pete_win that's what am doing but it's just seems like forever,I mean when am going to take this course, I finished the course march beginning and am not ready
Hey Pete, Thanks for your video. Can you please let me know which courses you have gone through from reddit, udemy, cloud guru platforms and of which author?

Hey there, I personally have not taken a course that was just on the basics of cloud networking. Sorry about that. I would consider looking into AWS VPC which is their version of a virtual network if you're interested in the networking aspect. Perhaps a youtube search on AWS VPC would give you some good starter videos to look into. Most of my courses that I took were on AWS services as a whole rather than a particular subject. So, I can't recommend something I have not used besides what is in the description. Best of luck! Peter
So I’m currently learning web development to get a foot into the door of becoming a software engineer and I watched another video recommending getting this certification. Should I go for this certificate once I’ve finished web development or focus more on personal projects to get a job?
Hey Purphite, Thanks for the comment and apologies on the deferred response. I would say you could do a mix of both and allow me to elbatorate. If you're thinking of focusing on personal projects and you mentioned web development, you could host your web development projects on AWS. If it's a static website consider looking into S3. If you're doing any sort of REST API, you could look into hosting the web application servers on AWS. AWS has many offerings for web development and you could apply those to your personal projects. AWS also has a generous free tier which is more than enough for personal projects. If you find yourself wanting to learn more about Cloud and AWS after your personal projects, I would recommend looking into this certification (Solution Architect Associate) or the Associate Cloud Developer certification too. Best of luck!
HI Brother How much hands on is necessary ? I have already gone through udemy course by other author, but I stopped my prep in between due to some reasons Now I want to start again
But I have language difficult to learn because I'm a foreigner so that I take more time to study than you need. How can I do that? Learning time is just 1 month! It's stressed out ☺️
Hi Pete....I am.planning to sit for the solutions architect exam....I am not currently working in the tech industry....is that a problem when you do not have hands on experience????
Hey Mohammed, AWS recommends that you have at least 1 year of hands-on experience for this certification. Nonetheless, this is only a recommendation. I had some hands-on experience with some of the AWS services mentioned in the video but for the others, I only used them for a few months. I don't think you will have any issues with obtaining this certification irrespective of hands-on experience or not. Make sure you're confident in your practice exams and should be good. Best of luck!
Hey Rose, the link to the Jon Bonsos practice exams are in the description of the video. Here it is again though. www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-amazon-practice-exams-saa-c02/
hey bro thank you so much for the kind replies which practice papers in udemy will you be suggesting ?? Neal or john bonso or stephane if we do these what can we expect about the complexity in the real exam ??? will there be any closer to these question of the above mentioned authors or it will be more complex and taking our time like anything. could u kindly please please reply.
Hey Robust, the practice papers are not on Udemy. They are all through AWS documentation and you can find the ones that I leveraged in the description of this video. As far as the exams that I recommend, I personally took John Bonso’s exams and Stephane’s and found them both very useful. Most of the practice exams by both John and Stephane are structured in a way to be slightly harder than the exam from my perspective. That way you have a fundamental understanding of how to solve questions around a particular service rather than trying to remember a question. If you can average around 70% in these practice exams you can expect to have enough knowledge to pass the exam. Best of luck!

Hey Zohaib, The potential of this AWS certification is really subjective. It's kind of like with most accolades in life, there is no guarantee. However, this certification can improve your changes. It really depends on what field you want to work in. If you plan to work in any field that leverages cloud services, then this would make sense to invest time into. -Pete
Hey Rogeana, Thanks for your comment. I felt like I was ready to take the exam once I was consistently scoring on average 70% on the practice exams. I scheduled the exam two weeks after I completed my course material because if I didn't want to procrastinate the process. -Pete
That is correct. The exam if you're taking it from home, does not allow use of an external monitor and they ask you to show it unplugged during the check in.
Hey Binyamin, It is not required to be good in programming to start your AWS certification journey. However, you will find having an understanding of programming is helpful to better understand the use cases for the services. For example, services like Lambda are used to execute code on a remote environment. Best of luck.
Hey Travis, This certification could help you in getting a job. There are many domains where this certification could help however, in the context of software engineering, software engineering jobs nowadays require some knowledge of the Cloud which is why folks in this domain obtain it. On the flip side, I've seen individuals with this certification and no software engineering experience work directly for Amazon as "Technical Account Managers" or "Solutions Architects" depending on their experience with cloud as a whole.
Hello there Can anyone help me please I was trying to learn cloud computing and i start taking a AWS course to get certified But it's so difficult for me There are a lot of terms I've never heard of before And each term need a whole video or course to understand it So my question is s What is the prerequisites to learn cloud computing ? I'm starting to give up and i feel like it's not for everyone 😥
Hey Ahmed, Chin up bud! The prerequisites to learn cloud computing is based on what certification you are trying to obtain. For example, for the solution architect associate ceritifctaion it is recommended you have been one or more years of hands on experience with AWS. You could also consider going for the Cloud Practioner as your first certification too if the solution architect associate is too overwhelming. In addition, don't feel like you need to become certified. Think of it as a journey to learn a new skill that will make you become more valuable. The certification is just an added bonus of learning all of these new skills of cloud. Best of luck!
@@prathameshgabhane9264 Beyond practice exams, i don't know if there is actual source of exam dumps. I will say that I don't think exam dumps will help with this certification. The reason is because the questions are very distinct. Out of all of my practice exams I took (600 questions or so combined) I don't think there was one question on my actual exam that came from any of my practice questions. Best of luck and I hope that helps!
All these guys that have passed the exams in 1month are either telling lies, or there is something else they are not telling us. It took me six months to study for this examination and pass.
Hey Issac, Each and every single person will have their own study regiment along with how much time they may devote. You cannot quantity how quick someone may or maynot pick up the skills needed to pass the certification. Just because it took you 6 months, does not mean someone can't get this exam done even sooner. Nonetheless, congrats on your pass! Pete
I didn't even necessarily study for AWS Solutions Architect, and in tests I did (I bought tests), I got more than 80% of success in a measly 2 months of starting in the Cloud
@@ramonpaolomaran2253 you mind sharing what all you used and study I heard learning and getting a job can take a person with damn near no IT background alone 3 months Max . Maybe 2 if you know someone hired within a company already ?

what is the potential of AWS certification? can a person work from home after this certification in a company or on Amazon ?
Hey Zohaib,
The potential of this AWS certification is really subjective. It's kind of like with most accolades in life, there is no guarantee. However, this certification can improve your changes. It really depends on what field you want to work in. If you plan to work in any field that leverages cloud services, then this would make sense to invest time into.

How do you know when your fully ready to take the exam
Hey Rogeana,
Thanks for your comment. I felt like I was ready to take the exam once I was consistently scoring on average 70% on the practice exams. I scheduled the exam two weeks after I completed my course material because if I didn't want to procrastinate the process.

What did you mean by powering off external monitor , can I not use a monitor connected to a laptop?
That is correct. The exam if you're taking it from home, does not allow use of an external monitor and they ask you to show it unplugged during the check in.
@@pete_win all right
How annoying lol
Thanks
do i have to be good in programming to start taking AWS certification??
Hey Binyamin,
It is not required to be good in programming to start your AWS certification journey. However, you will find having an understanding of programming is helpful to better understand the use cases for the services. For example, services like Lambda are used to execute code on a remote environment.
Best of luck.
Bro did You use any dumps?
Hey, I did not use any exam dumps. I only used the practice exams from Stephen/John on Udemy. They are in the description of this video.
Could you get a job with this?
Hey Travis,
This certification could help you in getting a job. There are many domains where this certification could help however, in the context of software engineering, software engineering jobs nowadays require some knowledge of the Cloud which is why folks in this domain obtain it. On the flip side, I've seen individuals with this certification and no software engineering experience work directly for Amazon as "Technical Account Managers" or "Solutions Architects" depending on their experience with cloud as a whole.
Hello there
Can anyone help me please
I was trying to learn cloud computing and i start taking a AWS course to get certified
But it's so difficult for me
There are a lot of terms I've never heard of before
And each term need a whole video or course to understand it
So my question is s
What is the prerequisites to learn cloud computing ?
I'm starting to give up and i feel like it's not for everyone 😥
Hey Ahmed,
Chin up bud! The prerequisites to learn cloud computing is based on what certification you are trying to obtain. For example, for the solution architect associate ceritifctaion it is recommended you have been one or more years of hands on experience with AWS. You could also consider going for the Cloud Practioner as your first certification too if the solution architect associate is too overwhelming. In addition, don't feel like you need to become certified. Think of it as a journey to learn a new skill that will make you become more valuable. The certification is just an added bonus of learning all of these new skills of cloud.
Best of luck!
How long have you been into IT ? Think of that first.
@@achajackson5898 Fair point Acha!
@@pete_win humm not so much agree, I started aws from zero and I got my SAA in one month of intense work
@@yacoubacisse1384 I’m not sure your from 0 meaning you knew nothing in IT.
Is there any dumbs avaliable for the exam?
Hey Prathamesh,
Could you clarify what you mean by dumbs? Are you referring to exam dumps?
@@pete_win yes exam dumps
@@prathameshgabhane9264 Beyond practice exams, i don't know if there is actual source of exam dumps. I will say that I don't think exam dumps will help with this certification. The reason is because the questions are very distinct. Out of all of my practice exams I took (600 questions or so combined) I don't think there was one question on my actual exam that came from any of my practice questions.
Best of luck and I hope that helps!
@@pete_win thank you for help
All these guys that have passed the exams in 1month are either telling lies, or there is something else they are not telling us. It took me six months to study for this examination and pass.
Hey Issac,
Each and every single person will have their own study regiment along with how much time they may devote. You cannot quantity how quick someone may or maynot pick up the skills needed to pass the certification. Just because it took you 6 months, does not mean someone can't get this exam done even sooner. Nonetheless, congrats on your pass!
Pete
I didn't even necessarily study for AWS Solutions Architect, and in tests I did (I bought tests), I got more than 80% of success in a measly 2 months of starting in the Cloud
@@ramonpaolomaran2253 you mind sharing what all you used and study I heard learning and getting a job can take a person with damn near no IT background alone 3 months Max . Maybe 2 if you know someone hired within a company already ?
All AWS Associate certifications are useless. And will never get you a job.
What a bullshit
Misleading title.
In which way is that misleading
