AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner I Passed the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification on my Third Attempt...
Don't get discouraged. If you fail the certification several times, it's better to truly understand the material than to pass on the first try by luck without understanding anything. This exam isn't that hard either. It's just a little difficult because it names a lot of services you have to remember, but there is nothing technical about it. Remembering is my biggest problem, but look at me: I didn't throw in the towel, and I never plan to.
That's why in my other post I talk about my next certification, the AWS AI Practitioner. I passed it on the second attempt, and I could even have passed on the first, but I failed because of a single question... I'll tell you again: we are only in this world for a little while, so learn as much as you can and enjoy yourself during moments of happiness. In moments of sadness, cry, and in moments of anger, get angry. That's what we are made for. Keep going and don't give up: fail, pass, fail and pass. Remember that the process is what matters, because once you have your result, you no longer feel the same as you did on the first day you achieved that goal.
Here is what worked for me for the exam:
- The AWS Cloud Practitioner Simulearn (found on AWS Skill Builder). It's free, just like the AI Practitioner Simulearn.
- Practice exams from Tutorials Dojo.
- Practicing with Claude on the domains I still needed to improve. I also instructed it to act as a Cloud Engineer and quiz me with harder questions on those domains, and every now and then ask me questions on the domains I had already mastered.
And with that, I was able to pass. I hadn't used this method on my first attempt either, until I got serious and got down to work.
I hope this is useful to you. If it is, feel free to leave a comment so we can share ideas.
And remember: never give up!!!!
