What this is

This practice exam targets the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03), which validates the ability to design resilient, high-performing, secure, and cost-optimized architectures on AWS — distinct from the AWS Developer – Associate exam, which focuses on building and deploying application code. The real exam is 65 questions in 130 minutes, scored 100–1000 with a passing score of 720. It is weighted across four domains: Design Secure Architectures (30%), Design Resilient Architectures (26%), Design High-Performing Architectures (24%), and Design Cost-Optimized Architectures (20%). Questions here emphasize the same architectural decision-making: choosing between services (RDS vs. DynamoDB vs. Aurora), multi-AZ/multi-region resiliency and DR strategy, VPC/IAM/encryption security design, and cost levers like Reserved Instances, Spot, and storage tiering.
