How to Pass the AWS Certified Developer Associate Exam

I am happy to say I recently passed the Amazon Web Services Certified Developer Associate Exam (AWS DVA-C01). Here's how I recommending studying to pass the test.

A few disclaimers:

Use Multiple Sources for Practice Exams

I started off using Tutorial Dojo Practice tests which are excellent heavily focus on X-Ray, ECS, DynamoDB, Elastic Beanstalk, VPC, and Cloudwatch.

I later did practice tests from Udemy's Practice Exams (also excellent) which focused on S3, IAM, EC2, Elastic Load Balancer, and other key AWS services to fill in my knowledge gaps.

Doing the practice tests and reviewing the explanations was the by far the more important tactic I used to prepare for the test.

Know the X vs Y questions

Know Test Taking Strategies
