How I Cracked AWS Associate Developer Certification Exam in 4 Days With a Full-Time Job!
Most people don’t believe me when I say I cracked the exam in 4 days with a full-time job. It might seem challenging, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible, and here’s how I did it
Focused Practice Tests
I maximized my study efficiency by taking Stephane Maarek’s practice tests on Udemy. These tests simulated the real exam environment and covered a broad range of topics. Each test helped identify my strengths and areas for improvement.
After each practice test, I meticulously reviewed my mistakes. Understanding why I got a question wrong was key. I studied the explanations and strengthened my knowledge of those topics. Using insights from my mistakes, I took additional practice tests. This cycle of testing, learning, and retesting was highly effective, steadily boosting my confidence and knowledge.
Efficient Time Management
Balancing a full-time job required efficient use of my time. I dedicated early mornings to solving practice tests and evenings to reviewing the answers. This routine helped me absorb a significant amount of information in a short period without affecting the deliveries in my job.
Leveraging My Experience
AWS Associate Developer exam requires you to have at least one year of experience with AWS. Having two years of hands-on experience with AWS gave me a solid foundation. This background meant I already understood many core AWS concepts, allowing me to focus on less familiar areas.
All of this was possible because I already had significant experience in AWS to know most of their services. If you are completely new to AWS I would suggest going through Stephane Maarek’s course on Udemy. That course gives a good overview of all the services offered by AWS, highlights the potential exam questions, and is regularly updated with the new services.
Hope this helps! And if it does please leave claps and follow me for more helpful posts like these! :)
