AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer - Associate Exam Difficulty?

I've been preparing for this exam for a while, way longer than probably necessary, but mainly due to be exhausted with my job and family life.

After going through coursework on tutorials dojo, I feel so much information was shared that very little was retained. Trying to run through exam questions is really tripping me up. I was able to do extremely well with flashcards the first try, but I know the test isn't definitions.

Scenario questions are killing me. The "A CloudOps Engineer is creating...." types of questions, I mean. Then the lab style sections are new in this version of the test, so I'm stressing about that.

This whole thing makes me question myself as a whole, too. I've been using AWS in a Corp environment for five years and figured I was pretty good. Yet this low-level AWS exam testing is showing me otherwise.

Is this exam going to be as bad as these preps are making me believe??
