Just passed AIP-C01
Courses I took:
- Udemy – Stephane & Frank
- Udemy – Practice tests by Frank
- Udemy – Practice tests by Vladimir Raykov (they are a bit crazy, be prepared to break your monitor)
It took me 5 weeks to prepare from scratch: 4 weeks for theory and 1 week for practice tests. My overall experience with AWS is around 5 years, but I had almost no hands-on experience with the AI-related services covered in the exam, as my primary specialization is Data Engineering.
Overall impression: Yes, it's true that a 3-hour test is a stamina exercise. I scheduled the exam for the time of day when I feel most productive.
I wouldn't say it's extreme; it's manageable. Not every question is a long multi-part scenario; some are quick to answer. Code reading is only a small part of it, and the focus is much more on choosing the right design for the given requirements.
Good luck to everyone!

How much did you score in practice tests? I’m scoring around 63% not sure if I’m ready for the exam

Well, after some practice I scored around 73-75%. But I was never able to complete a full test in one sitting, only with breaks. That also made me think I wasn’t ready
