Overview

Welcome to Cloud Academy's preparation exam for Solutions Architect - Professional for AWS. This prep exam is designed to prepare you for the type of questions you will need to answer, as well as the timed environment you will experience during the actual exam.

If you are studying for the AWS Solutions Architect - Professional exam, we recommend you complete our learning path before taking this prep exam. This exam is modeled after the recently updated version of the Solutions Architect - Professional exam that AWS generally released in February 2019.

This prep exam has the same number of multiple-choice questions (75) as the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional exam, with the same allotted time for completion (170 minutes).Like the actual exam, some questions have one correct answer, while others require you to choose two or three correct answers.

The questions on this exam focus on the following domains:

  • Design for Organizational Complexity
  • Design for New Solutions
  • Migration Planning
  • Cost Control
  • Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions

Each domain has the same level of emphasis as it will on the official exam.
