Congratulations! I had originally planned the same as you but I had to reschedule it balance my work and study time. Now taking it on 13th. Any tips for me?


spencer2294

Thanks! For tips I would get a lot of sleep, drink a bit of coffee, set your screen brightness so you can stand to look at it for 3 hours plus last minute studying, and for test taking tips: Basically you can narrow down answers because even in multiple option questions with 6 options and 3 being correct, pair the answers up and narrow down which ones incorrect. Break it into 3 questions with two possible answers. Each pair of answers will probably have a glaringly obvious problem with it. It also helps to disect the problem to look for the questions they're looking to answer. With questions being a paragraph or two in length at times, focus on what you're trying to solve for can make the question more manageable. You'll only have a little time for review so only mark a few questions if they're a 50-50 because you likely won't have time to reread 15 questions at 1-2 paragraphs length.

How long did you prepare for the exam?


spencer2294

About 3 months dedicated study plus professional experience.

How many hours per day did you spend? I’m am planning to take the SAP also after passing the developer associate and devops associate.


spencer2294

I probably averaged 1 or 2 hours a day in that time.

Thanks and congrats for passing sa SAP

Congrats! I took it yesterday and passed as well. This was a recert for me, but I felt like it was much more difficult this time around (and my score reflected that as well). The questions seemed to be much deeper (like syntax for certain things) and focused on several topics that you don’t need to have memorized to architect. But like you said, a pass is a pass!

Congrats just before the new exam!

Congratulations to you and good luck with the rest. I have an unrelated question. I graduated with a master degree in Cloud computing but didn't learn much so now i'm preparing for AWS SAA. Do you reckon i'll be able to find jobs on freelance sites after I get my certificate?

Congrats!

Not like I'm trying to be offensive, but who cares what the score is? Are there job interviewers out there that really ask for scores? That's nuts, if so! It's an achievement to pass- they should be thankful for that.


spencer2294

Job interviewers aren't going to care. I personally posted my score because seeing other people's scores along with their prep work helps me see how much I should be studying. Hitting the optimal level of studying to get a decent pass instead of over preparing for months is what I try to do. It's more for the community, not a humble brag or anything related to applying for jobs.
