ML Engineer 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 ML Engineer 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 Data Preparation for Machine Learning and ML Model Development
Together the top two domains are 54% 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 is MLA-C01 different from the Machine Learning Specialty?
MLA-C01 is the engineering half: getting data ready, training with SageMaker, deploying endpoints and keeping them monitored and secured. MLS-C01 goes deeper on modelling theory and algorithm selection. Build first, theorise second.
Does it use new question formats?
Yes. AWS introduced ordering, matching and case study item types with this exam alongside standard multiple choice, so practice for reading a scenario once and answering several linked questions about it.
Is this exam being updated?
AWS has announced an update in progress. Check the official exam page for the current version and its exam guide before booking, and treat any prep material against the version it names.

Nothing is published for this exam yet. Join the waitlist and we will tell you when the first questions ship, and nothing else.
ML Engineer 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.
