Test Types
Domain Mastery Tests
Domain tests focus on specific exam topics with 30 targeted questions. These tests are ideal for:- Strengthening knowledge in specific areas
- Identifying weak points in your understanding
- Building confidence before taking the full exam
- Domain 1: Cloud Concepts (24% of exam)
- Domain 2: Security and Compliance (30% of exam)
- Domain 3: Cloud Technology and Services (34% of exam)
- Domain 4: Billing, Pricing, and Support (12% of exam)
Full Exam Simulation
The full exam simulation replicates the real AWS certification exam experience:- 65 randomized questions from all domains
- 90-minute time limit (realistic exam conditions)
- Official domain distribution: 16, 20, 21, and 8 questions respectively
- 15 unscored questions included (just like the real exam)
In the real AWS exam, 15 of the 65 questions are unscored experimental questions. The app simulates this by randomly selecting which questions count toward your final score.
