Set up a learning schedule
We're all occupied in our everyday lives. Continually something to do and never sufficient opportunity. Getting ready for the AWS Certified Developer Associate requires significant investment and responsibility.

It takes 20 days to finish the exam planning, however, that is not the point. What makes a difference is your obligation to learning each day.

We shall advance by small steps. From Monday to Saturday. Every day, I committed myself 4 or 5 hours to the assignment. Without a doubt, you can invest less energy. The main thing is to discover what is best for you and work consistently.

*My planning was partitioned into 4 stages:
*

  • Watch 2 or 3 areas of the course while taking notes
  • Profound plunge into things I didn't comprehend
  • Peruse AWS whitepapers
  • Take practice exams
    I utilized the free ExamPro AWS Certification course created by Andrew Brown. It's a 16-hour course posted on YouTube which assists you to comprehend AWS and practice with Follow Along with areas. Andrew Brown accomplished colossal work. His clarifications are exceptionally clear and go directly forthright.

Some of the time you'll be disappointed to not get something. I was stuck the entire evening with the primary Follow Along. I even contemplated skipping it since it was so demotivating.
The following day, following a decent evening of rest, I went throughout the day investigating the code. I even presented a draw solicitation to help other people. Addressing this issue helped me profoundly jump into things I didn't comprehend and roused me to compose other AWS stories to merge my insight.

In the wake of finishing the course, you may want to enhance what you realized.

Suggested AWS whitepapers
For my situation, I read the accompanying ones:

  • Rehearsing Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery on AWS.
  • Accelerating Software Delivery with DevOps
  • Microservices on AWS

Architecting for the Cloud: AWS Best Practices
It was my first time perusing AWS whitepapers. I should concede I was agreeably astounded! It helped me a ton to comprehend the things I was missing and gave me the certainty to book my exam.

Something worth referencing: AWS gives you a half markdown for booking your next exam when you pass one!

A couple of days before your exam, I firmly suggest you train with training exams. You can discover them effectively on the Internet.

ExamPro Developer Associate Practice Exam

The training exam was testing. It's near the genuine exam. You have 2 hours to respond to 65 inquiries and the clock is ticking. In the wake of presenting your training exam, your score is shown. In particular, you can audit your off-base answers and read the clarifications to comprehend why you committed these errors.

If you bombed your training exam, make certain to survey your inquiries/answers first before taking a similar practice exam. It will improve your certainty for the genuine exam.

I had the option to pass the AWS Certified Developer Associate exam. Before that, I passed the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate with a similar readiness.

This requires time, persistence, and devotion. I'm not exceptional, you can do it as well. It will not be simple from the outset however it merits doing.

The course isn't sufficient

You're off-base if you think the 16-hour course is sufficient to allow you to pass. If you intend to plan your exam in the wake of concentrating just this course, you'll without a doubt numerous inquiries.

Here is a non-comprehensive rundown to assist you with your exam:

  • Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
  • Flexible File System (EFS)
  • Flexible Block Store (EBS)
  • Aurora
  • Redshift
  • CloudWatch
  • Kinesis
  • VPC Follow Along
  • OpsWorks
  • Novices can finish the exam
    Let's assume you're a finished novice and you're contemplating whether you should take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner first.

AWS planned a Developer Learning Path with the suggested confirmations.

AWS Developer Learning Path

The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner isn't obligatory. You're all set if you have a few fundamentals in programming.

Exam readiness will require more work. Build up your learning routine to get adequately ready. Try not to be hesitant to jump all alone. You need to comprehend the course and not retain it. Make certain to get compartments and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD).

Continue to work, you can do it!

My online exam experience

I had a specialized issue with my online administered exam. The delegate began my exam after the registration cycle. Yet, my screen became dark and it was difficult to see the inquiries!

The delegate reached me by sound gathering. We went through 20 minutes together attempting to fix the issue, yet it was difficult to begin my exam.

If something comparative happens to you, you need to contact the client care quickly. It's difficult to associate again with your online exam. Send straightforwardly your email structure to https://home.pearsonvue.com/aws/contact

Pearson VUE client support

Your issue will be addressed in 3-5 business days. It requires about seven days to plan your exam once more. Show restraint!

To stay away from upsetting shocks, I suggest you:

  • Run the System Test before your exam
  • Reboot your PC on the exam day
  • Make certain to sign in to your record 30 minutes ahead of schedule to begin the registration interaction
  • Close the entirety of your applications except for your exam application after the registration
  • Last be not least, booking your exam interestingly can be troublesome. With the current circumstance, it tends to be trying to discover a timetable appropriate for you.
    Did you realize that you can reschedule your exam arrangement up to multiple times in case you're not content with it? It's actually how I helped my subsequent attempt. My first exam arrangement was at 09:15 PM which wasn't beneficial for me. I figured out how to change the arrangement at 3:00 PM and pass!

It's presently your turn
During right around 42 days I conceded to the AWS Training and certification challenge.

It was debilitating and difficult consistently, however, I don't have any second thoughts. Even though I don't have the foggiest idea about all AWS administrations (is that even conceivable?), I took in a ton about AWS and distributed computing. I know without a doubt it will help me later on!

I likewise met some quite stunning individuals en route. At the outset, I was somewhat hesitant to tweet about my advance or support individuals. Presently, I'm persuaded that is the most ideal approach to do this test.

Try not to be timid! It was a long excursion. I did my part and now it's your turn.
