My Tips on Practice exams

• The point of these practice exam is NOT to determine whether you pass or fail or what percentage you get, but to test how good you have understood the AWS services and what services are more appropriate to be applied in a given scenario

• Irrespective of the practice test you take, clearly read the entire question and every option, think like a Solution Architect and choose the right answer or the most appropriate answer to the given scenario. If unsure of the answer eliminate the wrong answers

• This is NOT your real exam, feel free to google for help (not the answers :D) during the practice exams, but only to ensure you are learning from it and making note of it. 

• Most Importantly, after completion of these practice exams, check the explanation for every answer and make notes for yourself. That's how I came up with this cheat sheet and this was very helpful for my actual exam

• Good news is that, actual SAA-C02/C03 is easier than these practice exams (Or maybe you feel easier because these practice tests really test knowledge of your understanding, and help you through it !!! :) )
