Passed the exam this morning. Notes were amazing. Alternatively I used practice tests from Skillcertpro which are very much identical to main exam as I got close to 80% from their sets word to word. I went through the answers and detailed explanations which helped me to understand the concepts well. Thumb rule is to score 80% in their mock exams before sitting for official exam.

[@raksh8628]

Do we need to have any pre-requisite knowledge for learning this AWS developers course??? or what kind of pre-requisites will benefit to understand the course better for appearing for the exam??

I cleared the DVA certification recently with 3 weeks' preparation. I did 4 practice tests + official practice test in skill builder. The practice tests and subsequent analysis of wrong answers really helped. Though I scored only 60% in the official practice test, I went ahead with the exam and was able to score 82%.

[@itiscinnamoncafe]

Whoa ur really smart then

[@cgshiva]

[@UnusAWS]

@@cgshiva, The ones I took was from Stephane Maarek (Udemy).

hi Tahseer , I have completed Aws cloud practioner and i am currently preparing for developer associate , strategy i was following was writing my own notes in between attending lectures of stephane marek but i felt it is time consuming as i am working professional , so is your notes enough for revision so that i can complete lectures quickly rather than wasting time on preparing notes?

[@VaccSiN]

Hi Tahseer. Thank you for the great content. The note doesn't exist anymore can you please share it again? Thank you :)

Can you please answer this for me? As a mediocre, I should go for Solutions Architect OR Developer Associate? Which one is faster and easier to achieve? PLEASE ANSWER

[@priyanshramnani1751]

Go for solutions architect tho its still not very easy to crack but its easier compared to developer associate

[@surajsidanurle9639]

Just wanted to know, Can we skip cloud practitioner and directly start leaning Developer associate??

[@lolitaad19]

cloud practitioner is not mandatory it's just foundation exam to get you introduced to AWS concepts.. you can go with solution architect or devloper associate if you are a working professional

[@haha7836hahah]

Hi Tahseer. Thanks for sharing your notes. I am also following Stephane's course. For revision, do you recommend going through your notes or the ppt that is provided with the course?

[@tahseer]

You can go through my notes. They should be sufficient.

[@FahadAhmed-ln7so]

No, you'll get your score after about a day.

[@samiullahsheikh5015]

I am developer 1.5 years of experience in MERN stack and a bit of familiar with AWS. would you recommend to pass AWS Associate architecture exam before developer associate?

Yes, SAA is quite broad and will allow you to learn a lot of concepts

Hello dear does this exam covers the AWS fundamental practitioner exam as well?

[@tahseer]

This exam covers development and deployment related services in detail. The practitioner exam is much more basic.

[@continuelaughing9473]

I also passed it yesterday with 1 month preparation

[@sriphanivardhan8609]

Hi bro thanks for the great content! I wanted to ask that which one would you suggest one do first, aws developer associate or aws solutions associate. Appreciate it.

[@UnusAWS]

I have done both SAA and DVA. The former (SAA) is easier comparatively.

[@tahseer]

I would recommend you to take AWS SAA first as it covers more breadth

[@aamiransari-lp4fd]

Assalamualaikum, I'm an experienced IT employee who wants to reroute my career to AWS cloud and new to cloud, what you recommend me to go first as AWS certification, is it Practitioner or Architect associate or Dev associate ? Please advise @tahseer bro. Appreciate your effort to share this amazing content.

Thanks for this video. It’s very helpful.

[@risithmarshall8654]

Which one better to do first? Associate Solution Architect or Associate Developer? Which one is easy?

[@tahseer]

Solutions Architect is a bit easier because it focuses on covering breadth.
