I recently took this exam and was able to crack it by following below practices. Hope they help you too.
Do hands-on labs
Take any good Course available on Udemy, Whizlabs, CloudAcademy etc.
I took Cloud Academy course that helped me alot.Mock test series
Make sure to atleast take 2 mock tests in a week for practice. I used Mock test series by Stephane on Udemy.Read AWS Services FAQs and Whitepapers
Many times the questions come from the FAQs and whitepapers as these resources includes how to best implement the AWS services, and how one service is different from the other one in a particular use-case. So, I would highly suggest you to go through them at-least once.Learn about AWS Services best practices

This is crucial to crack the exam. One thing that absolutely helped me in cracking this exam was the daily routine that I created for this exam's preparation.
You need to ensure that you block your calendar or put a reminder to dedicate some focused time only for exam preparation such as for doing mock tests, reading through whitepapers etc. To know more, check out this video.
