Continue practicingAn honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from AWS and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Cloud Technology and Services and Security and Compliance
Together the top two domains are 64% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then take a mock exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then a full timed mock at real length (65 (50 scored, 15 unscored) questions, 90 minutes). Book the real exam when you’re consistently passing mocks, not before.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the CLF-C02 exam?
65 questions in 90 minutes, 50 scored plus 15 unscored experimental items you can't identify. Passing is 700 on AWS's 100-1000 scale.
Is Cloud Practitioner worth it before Solutions Architect?
If you're new to AWS, yes, CLF-C02 builds the vocabulary (shared responsibility, service categories, pricing models) that SAA-C03 assumes. Experienced engineers sometimes skip straight to SAA.
What's the hardest part of CLF-C02?
Service breadth. The exam loves 'which service would you use for X' questions across 100+ services. Our Cloud Technology domain questions drill exactly that discrimination skill.
