Exam simulation
To simulate the exam experience, use the “PRACTICE QUESTIONS
ONLY” sets. Grab a pen and paper to record your answers for all 65
questions. After completing each set, check your answers using the
“PRACTICE QUESTIONS, ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS” section.
To calculate your total score, sum up the number of correct answers and
multiply them by 1.54 (weighting out of 100%) to get your percentage
score out of 100%. For example, if you got 50 questions right the
calculation would be 50 x 1.54 = 77%. The pass mark of the official AWS
exam is 72%.
Training mode To use the practice questions as a learning tool, use the “PRACTICE
QUESTIONS, ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS” sets to view the answers
and read the explanations as you move through the questions. Other products to help prepare you for your AWS
