Let’s cut to the chase and dive right in, shall we?
Day 1: Uncover the Basics
Start by immersing yourself in the foundational concepts of cloud computing. AWS offers an excellent free resource, the AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials course. It’s a great way to ease into the cloud world.
Keep in mind, that to access AWS Cloud Practitioner Essentials on the AWS Skillbuilder website, you’ll be prompted to log in. Ensure you’ve created an account with AWS Skillbuilder beforehand.
Day 2: Explore Cloud Services
Dive into the AWS Free Tier, which allows you to explore various cloud services without incurring charges. Understanding the practical applications of services like S3, EC2, and RDS is key to acing the exam. Check out AWS’s Free Tier offerings to get hands-on experience.
Day 3: Master the Exam Structure
To maximize your chances of success, familiarize yourself with the exam format. AWS provides the exam guide as well as sample exam questions that mirror the real certification exam. Practice makes perfect, and understanding the structure is half the battle.
Day 4: Leverage Practice Tests
Engage with practice tests to assess your knowledge and identify areas that need extra attention. Websites like Udemy and A Cloud Guru offer comprehensive practice exams. Remember, practice tests are your secret weapon for exam success.
Day 5: Immerse Yourself in Case Studies
AWS exams often include real-world scenarios. Dive into AWS’s whitepapers and case studies to understand how cloud concepts are applied in practical situations. It’s not just about theory; it’s about real-world application.
Day 6: Review and Refine
As you approach the finish line, review your notes, revisit challenging topics, and refine your understanding. The AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam Readiness course is a fantastic resource for finalizing your preparations.
Day 7: Exam Day Strategies
On the big day, keep calm, and remember your strategies. Manage your time wisely, tackle the questions you’re confident about first, and go back to the challenging ones later. And hey, don’t forget to breathe!
Pro Tip
Boost your learning by enrolling in two distinct on-demand video courses. Consider one from Udemy and another from an entirely different source. I particularly recommend a free course available on YouTube — access it here. This diverse approach enhances your understanding from multiple perspectives.
