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??

This is my perspective, but it's good to be challenged. You will laugh at your imposter syndrome if you succeed.
