Study Timeline (5-8 hours)
I started by digging right in to the AWS Architect Learning Path on A Cloud Guru.
I watched the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01) video
at 1.75x - 2.0x speed on A Cloud Guru. After that, it was time to try a practice test!
Practice Test (~45 min/ea)
Feeling semi-confident, I took a Practice Test on Whizlabs for the cert.
- First attempt was a
75.38%- Not as confident as I thought I was. -- I noted which domains I needed to focus on and re-watched those sections while taking notes using Notion - Second attempt was
87.68%-- After that, I felt I was comfortable enough to take the exam.
Exam (90 min)
I took the exam online and in the comfort of my home using the online proctored version of Pearson Vue.
PASS - What's Next?
Yup. Then I passed. So what's next? I then went on to study for the next exam -- the AWS Certified Solutions Architect -- Associate which I also passed a few days later.
