I'm currently preparing for the AWS solutions architect associate exam, I've completed the ACG course twice and done 5 full size mocks, my last mock was a 63% when a passing grade is 70%/75% is I felt confident that I could revise and build up the 8 questions I needed to pass; after completing a mock tonight and getting 52% I realise that I need a new method of revision. Has anyone else completed the exam and have some advice on it? I don't actually struggle with the content, it's more putting it into answering the exam questions. I didn't do much revision for my AWS-CCP exam as I found that easy enough after doing the course, I also never bothered doing any revision at school so as a result I'm essentially clueless with revision and it's showing in my stale progress.

Bit late to the party here and hopefully you are beyond this and preparing for the Professional Cert. But, if you are still preparing, or for anyone else, I can give you my advise.

First, A Cloud Guru has it limits on how well it will prepare you. I finished the course having passed the mock tests relatively easily and thought I was ready to ace the test. As a coincidence, I had the same course content through ACG and UDEMY. A couple of days before the test, UDEMY sent me an offer to beta test their new mock exams. These were very useful and showed me I was not ready at all!

I quickly went through the content on several YouTube channels and Digital Cloud and passed the the first time. There is no doubt that I would not have done so if I relied on one resource.

Still doing prep, appreciate the advice
