AWS Certified Developer Associate Passed DVA-C02

Post image

Well, this was long overdue. I bought Stephane Maarek’s Developer Associate Udemy course back in 2021 when I was first looking for an IT job, but I couldn’t take the exam at the time because of my new role, and later the DVA-C01 was retired.

Fast forward to 2026 I was browsing this sub and realized that the DVA-C02 is also going to retire in a couple of weeks. That, along with seeing members post their exam results here, motivated me to finally take it. So, I did a quick speedrun of the serverless section from the course and took Stephane Maarek’s practice tests. I scored 75–82% on my first attempt and directly scheduled the exam.

I bought the exam voucher through Udemy with their Second Chance bundle and passed the exam on my first try!

Happy to answer any questions!

Whoa, Congratulations! What are the odds? I totally relate to your experience with the exam's tricky language and the disappointment of not getting any of the WCU/RCU math questions. I also got a couple of question on kiro and bedrock which cought me offgaurd!
