Developer Associate practice exams
No complete practice exam yet. A form is 65 questions apportioned to the official weightings, and a partial one would report a score that means nothing, so none is assembled until the questions are there.

Where Developer Associate fits
An honest study plan
1. Read the official objectives first
Download the official objectives from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and skim every line. The exam can only test what’s listed there, it’s the contract.
2. Weight your study toward Development with AWS Services and Security
Together the top two domains are 58% of the exam. Practice them until your accuracy is consistently above 80%.
3. Drill weak domains, then sit a numbered practice exam
Use Domain Drill on your weakest areas, then sit a full-length form under exam conditions: 65 questions in 130 minutes, scored against the published pass mark. Book the real exam when you are consistently clearing that, not before.

Frequently asked questions
How does DVA-C02 differ from Solutions Architect Associate?
DVA-C02 tests building on AWS rather than designing it: SDK calls, Lambda configuration, DynamoDB access patterns and pipeline behaviour. SAA asks which architecture fits; DVA asks why your code or deployment misbehaves and how to fix it.
How much coding does the exam involve?
You read code rather than write it. Questions show SDK snippets, IAM policies and buildspec files and ask what happens or what fixes the error. Comfort reading Python or JavaScript examples is enough.
What services dominate the exam?
Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, SQS, CloudFormation and the CI/CD family (CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline), with IAM woven through everything. The development domain alone is 32% of scored content.

Nothing is published for this exam yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when the first questions ship, and nothing else.
Developer Associate is not for sale yet. A certification goes on sale when it has a complete practice exam behind it, and this one does not, so there is nothing here worth charging for. Everything published is free to answer in the meantime.
