It’s super easy if you are already familiar with AWS. Don’t worry too much about it.

Went from 0 to taking the exam in 3 days, no prior aws experience and scored 97%. Passing grade is lot lower. It was intense getting all the material studied in a short time frame but its literally just learning by hard.

Id recommend doing it at an easier pace for about a week or two

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
