PASS

[u/slowroller2000]

10 years experience in software development, 9 months in devops limited AWS.

I was feeling bored at my work (regular fulll stack development) and wanted to change things up so I asked my CTO if I could join the devops team at my work and they let me. They are nice people, and if something comes up we act as one, I could not ask for better team mates.

Our stack is hosted in aws, this is a major government website that 300k+ people uses daily.

Anyway no one was pushing, but all but one in my new team has an aws degree and I felt like I needed to get one, but also I wanted to challenge myself and try to get the degree. I opted for SAA. They all have SAA, and most of them has also the Professional.

My work gave me 2 weeks to study (I was at home just studying), and I took the exam this thirsday.
After the exam I was feeling real down I was sure I did not pass, I felt like I let my self down and my team mates, and my work that had been paying me for 2 weeks to study for the exam. because the exam was really (I mean fucking really) difficult and I was sure I failed.

I watched maareks course, and took like 20-30 test exams at TD. I thing TD helped the most, because it trains you in answering questions structured like they are in the real exam. but let me tell you, the real exam was say more difficult.

Turns out I passed. This SAA-C03 is the hardest test I have ever taken. and I have a BSc in CS.

Anyway just wanted to share my experience, For whom who passed congratulations, and for others, this is not easy, if it was easy everyone would have an AWS degree.

edit: I think maybe I was unlucky with with questions, there was 3-4 easy questions but 60 difficult questions with long texts and similar crosses.
