Really brave to share this story, thank you so much : )

Well done for sharing this! I have failed the SYSOPS madness 2 times as well, trying to sit in the exam once at 2 weeks. Passed the 3rd time 🤞
I think we should share more about our failures since they are so important and part of our success too. Really appreciate your courage, keep going!

Girl same!! I Failed twice and have been nervous to try again. Thanks for this video and the advice.

I normally don’t comment on videos but I have seen a couple of your videos while I embark on this journey and I can see the work you put into them. Plus, it’s good content.

So I wanted to personally thank you and encourage you to keep pushing forward in your journey 👍

I have my 1st attempt to the AWS Certificate Developer exam tomorrow. I prepared a lot and worked with AWS as a software engineer for a while, but the more test exams I take, the more I'm aware I just can't memorise it all and it depends on what questions I get. It's uplifting to hear your story because people always talk like they pass AWS certs with no issues at 1st attempt.

Thank you for this video. I passed Developer Associates yesterday with a score of 947 and now I'm going for SysOps Administration by next month's end. Already got Stephane's SysOps material from Udemy. What I got from this video is that I shouldn't be too overconfident and do as much hands on as possible to understand the real case scenarios. I might get errors too and this will help me in troubleshooting. Looking forward to prepare at my best and pass this exam in one go.

thanks, I passed 2 AWS certifications and going for sysops. I was also getting overconfident, after watching this i will take my time and study sysops throughly.

[ralphlucassevilla]

Thank you for mentioning that FAQs, i just realized most of the questions in exam can be found FAQs.

Took the Sysops exam today. Really really hard. I don´t think it is possible for anyone to prepare the exam in one week. The questions were hard and the labs had some obscure topics. Awaiting for my grade now. Thanks Lucy for the advice!

[Tripset]

Just took the 2021 Q3 SysOps Associate with the labs that were introduced. Questions were definitely tough but as you said hands on experience for practice labs are huge. Thanks to getting the hands on labs experience helped with the exam labs, hope i passed! Thank you for your experience and tips!

[diegonayalazo]

Thanks for sharing your advice Lucy. Very thoughtful of you

[lesterlaynes]

Thank you for sharing, I just failed my SAA-C02. But that's just a temporary failure. The aim is to pass.

[SahdevSur]

Thank you. I found this video helpful.
Very soon I'm planning to give AWS SA exam.
Keep doing such video about cloud technology experience

[ednarvaez]

Thx for the advice and congratulations. I passed SA02 and also felt confident enough to take SysOps two weeks later, but failed. :(

[craigheard]

Great video Lucy. Your tips for passing are really well thought out and explained. We all have and will continue to fail. I’m glad you put your efforts out here for everyone to benefit. You’ll pass the exam obviously. I learned a lot. You are awesome.

"something fell on the floor' dialogue touched my heart 😂

[terrabyte-techy]

Thanks Lucy for the upload. I think I'll hold on till end of the month before booking for the exam and concentrate more on the labs because I haven't done much of them.
