What I mean by this is your final score on the exam can be anywhere from 100 – 1000 with the minimum passing score of 720, however just know that all of this, while published on the AWS Certification site is subject to change per exam, depending on the difficulty of the questions – My take – get in there, get at least 70% and you should be good. The exam itself contains 65 questions – and is scored based on some crazy wonky algorithm just as any other certification is. That said, don’t worry if you don’t have a “production” type environment to work in – the A Cloud Guru course (talked about later) has plenty of labs and whatnot that you can run through based off of the free tier of AWS.

A month or so ago at Re:Invent I sat, wrote, and passed the AWS Solutions Architect Associate Exam on the first go-around and I wanted to outline some of the resources that made that possible. I know, I know, somewhat of a click-baity title but honestly there are a lot of – and I’m a little tired of, the “AWS Solutions Architect Associate Exam Experience” blog posts! Not to say they are bad, they are certainly one of the reasons I passed, but I thought I’d shake it up a bit.
