What the questions cover
The SAA-C03 exam guide has four domains: designing secure architectures, resilient architectures, high-performing architectures and cost-optimised architectures. The 25 questions spread across all four, with services like EC2 Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing, S3 storage classes, VPC subnets and gateways, RDS and Aurora, DynamoDB, CloudFront, IAM roles and policies, KMS, SQS and SNS.
The real exam has 65 questions in 130 minutes and is scored from 100 to 1,000, with 720 needed to pass. Some questions are unscored, and there's no penalty for guessing.
A sample question explained
"A company needs a relational database on AWS with automatic failover to a standby in another Availability Zone. Which option fits best?" The answer is Amazon RDS with a Multi-AZ deployment. Multi-AZ keeps a synchronous standby in a second AZ and fails over to it automatically. A read replica scales reads but isn't an automatic failover target, DynamoDB isn't relational, and a single EC2 instance is a single point of failure. Most SAA questions work like this: several answers would work, and you choose the one that best matches the stated need, here resilience with minimum effort.
On scoring: 18 right out of 25 is 72%. That's a rough guide only, since AWS uses scaled scoring.
How to use it
- Read the last line of each scenario first to see what's asked (cheapest, most resilient, least effort).
- Eliminate answers that break a requirement before choosing between the rest.
- Review every explanation, including for questions you got right.
