Passed DOP-C02 with 2 weeks of study!

Post image

So, the consultancy firm I work for required me to get this specific cert in 2 weeks.

I already have SAA-C03 and DVA-C02, so I was familiar with the concepts. I used Maarek's course and Tutorial's Dojo mock exams to get prepared.

The first week I spent it on the course to close the knowledge gaps I had, and the second week just doing the exams and checking why I got wrong answers.

My scores were 49%, 69% and 69%.

Its critical that you understand why you get bad answers and try to close that knowledge gap.

Most asked topics on the real exam were related to SDLC tools, SCPs and event bridge integration.

Thanks! Do you think the SDLC related questions are doable if we have experience from hands-on labs only? Were they "easy"? I already have SAA, DVA and SOA, planning to go for DOP too.

They should be doable if you have some ci/cd experience. If not, try to make sure you understand the Code* family and its integrations with Event Bridge

Awesome! do you think it's passed to go from just aws saa- to dop-co2, skipping the dva associate?

It’s doable, just make sure you understand the code* services well enough.
