3 years late but loved the tip about flagging correct questions (reverse flagging)! Always felt those checked questions hanging over me during the exam. This simple trick makes a world of difference! 67 year old and I learned something new. Thanks!

Congratulations! Adrian Cantrill's course is great. Time is very important, 180 minutes can go by very quickly when you are deep in thought. I ran out of time with 7 questions left and had to guess at those answers, luckily I built up enough correct answers to get a passing score. Reverse flagging is a good idea. Also at some point you have to trust you are ready, cramming and driving yourself crazy up to the last minute can work against you.

You are the best. This exam is in my 2022 goals. Your advices are really good.

Glad to see you posting again Lucy! Excited for the content you release this year 🎉

Tutorials Dojo is amazing. They're so granular and particular about the details of each service. It forces you to know the services and configurations inside and out.

This is awesome! I just passed my AWS-SAA and now going to prepare for the SAP. Goal is to take it by the summer of next year.

Congratulations Lucy, I also passed right after Christmas. It is pretty intensive exam. Adrian & Jon practice exams are very helpful. I went through Neal Davis, Adrian courses multiple time since 1 year once I failed on first attempt. This is my 5th certification.

This was super helpful. I’ve done the AWS developer associate and want to do the architect professional at some stage but I hear it’s tough (both in broadness and depth of knowledge). I totally agree on the Tutorial Dojo point. I used them on my developer associate and in that case, if you can pass the Tutorial Dojo practice exams you can pass the real McCoy, I will definitely refer back to this video when I start studying for my architect professional. I will also share it with colleagues who are on that journey.

You inspired me to take the cloud practitioner and the SAA. I have both now and was wondering if I should go for the SAP. You inspired me ima go for it. Love ur videos

[mexicanmax]

[mmartinez]

Thanks Lucy!, I used cloud guru for pass 3 aws certifications in six months. The platform include: courses, exams, and labs, it is amazing, anyway I will try also your curse recomendations to pass SA professional

[SAA-from-SA]

Love the tip on reverse flagging. Definitely incorporating that into my next exam.👌🏻

[proudkislaya]

Thank you Lucy for this video. Congratulations on your achievement.

[morsaprogramando]

Solid advice here, thanks for the video!

[nzhong]

Reverse flagging sounds good. I like it.

[krystalmarie]

Can you complete the SAA and then the SAP right after without the 2 years suggested experience? Or do you have to complete SAA, DA, SOAA before going for Solutions Architect Professional?

[bluephoenix]

Another great video. Thank you so much!

[TheLostBijou]

You may not see this because it's 2 years old, however I'm about 30% through adrians course but i have ADHD and find it hard to listen to a lot of material. I'm thinking of switching to Neal Davis course because it's shorter then doing the Tutorial Dojo exams (which are honestly great i did them for SAA). Then using Adrians for a brush up on the topics i still am weak at.

What made you switch courses?

Thanks!
