Exam Preparation Overview
Everything you need to know about your practice exam at a glance.
The AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam is for people who work as solutions architects. It validates that you can design solutions based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework: secure, resilient, high-performing and cost-optimized architectures that meet current business needs and future growth, and that you can review existing solutions and find improvements.
Questions are multiple choice (one correct answer) or multiple response (two or more correct answers). The 15 unscored questions are not identified, so treat every question seriously. The result is pass or fail, reported on a scaled score of 100 to 1,000.
Domains, weights and tasks follow the official AWS exam guide. The exam uses compensatory scoring, so you need to pass the exam as a whole, not each section.
At least 1 year of hands-on experience designing cloud solutions on AWS. AWS says candidates with 1 to 3 years of IT experience have also prepared successfully.
AWS suggests earning AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner first for the foundations. Deep coding skills are not needed, but basic programming ideas help.
Exam questions describe business problems like these. Your task is to choose the best design.
