The AWS Certified Developer Associate certification is one of the most challenging exams. It's great at assessing how well you understand not just AWS, but the new cloud paradigms such as Serverless, which makes this certification incredibly valuable to have and pass. Rest assured, I've passed it myself with a score of 984 out of 1000. Yes, you read that right, I only made one mistake! Next, I want to help YOU pass the AWS Certified Developer Associate certification with flying colors. No need to know anything about AWS, beginners welcome!

    The course is extremely well done. My only complaint are the quiz questions, I think a lot of them aren't in sync with the actual course material. My suggestion, more for udemy, would be to require each question to be associated with at least one lecture timestamp where the material was taught. This would force creators to write relevant questions and help students flag questions which are either out of date, or they feel wasn't actually taught by the course at the timestamp.

    Good exams to get prepared for real exam, there are some questions that do not appear in course and some repeated between exams.
