1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,890 Okay, so let's see how far we've learned 2 00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:02,820 in this course, 3 00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:06,570 and we're going to check the exam certification page 4 00:00:06,570 --> 00:00:08,970 to have a look at the exam guide. 5 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:09,960 So here I am 6 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,860 on the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate page. 7 00:00:13,860 --> 00:00:14,910 And if you scroll down, 8 00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,400 you can have a look at the exam guide 9 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,540 as well as the sample question. 10 00:00:18,540 --> 00:00:20,670 So let's go over the exam guide. 11 00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:23,910 So this is a long document at 17 pages 12 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:26,610 and it represents what you should be knowing 13 00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:28,140 going into the exam. 14 00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:30,330 So we're going to skim through this document 15 00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:32,610 and verify that we know a lot, 16 00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:35,010 and then I will do a few precisions, 17 00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:38,790 especially when we go into this right here, 18 00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:42,270 which is the services covered 19 00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:46,050 which are at the very bottom, the appendix. 20 00:00:46,050 --> 00:00:49,650 And this is concept that might be covered on the exam, okay? 21 00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:51,630 So all these services here 22 00:00:51,630 --> 00:00:54,060 will not necessarily be at the exam 23 00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:58,470 and I've created the course in a way that's what I teach 24 00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:00,540 I know is at the exam, okay? 25 00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:02,130 So if you see something here 26 00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:03,600 but I don't teach it in the course, 27 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,680 do not freak out. 28 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,700 If I hear from students that it is indeed at the exam, 29 00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:11,280 then I will include lecture on it, okay? 30 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,640 This is just technology that might be covered at the exam. 31 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,080 Okay, so let's go back up. 32 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,230 So you're going to have one year of hands-on experience 33 00:01:19,230 --> 00:01:20,160 to do the exam, 34 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,330 but after doing this course 35 00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:23,010 you will have enough experience. 36 00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:25,410 So the exam will be of two types of question. 37 00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:26,700 You have the multi-choice 38 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,270 where one correct responses and three incorrect responses, 39 00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:31,260 and multi response 40 00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:34,230 when you have two or more correct responses out of five. 41 00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:37,320 And you must answer a question. 42 00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,760 So there's no penalty for guessing. 43 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,650 You must answer every question, 44 00:01:40,650 --> 00:01:43,980 because if you answer incorrect or if you don't answer, 45 00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:48,450 you will not get points removed from your score, okay? 46 00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:50,370 So answer all the questions. 47 00:01:50,370 --> 00:01:53,610 There are 15 unscored questions that you do not know about 48 00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:54,870 and they do not affect your score. 49 00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:58,650 This is so that AWS can test new questions over time 50 00:01:58,650 --> 00:01:59,483 and make sure they're good 51 00:01:59,483 --> 00:02:02,340 and make sure people answer them correctly or not, 52 00:02:02,340 --> 00:02:03,330 but you don't know about them, okay? 53 00:02:03,330 --> 00:02:06,990 So you're actually scored on 50 questions out of 65, 54 00:02:06,990 --> 00:02:09,120 but 15 of them you don't know about. 55 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,960 Okay. 56 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,800 So your exam score is between 100 and 1000, 57 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,373 and the minimum passing score is 720. 58 00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:21,690 Next you should have the content outlines. 59 00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:23,580 So this is the domains at the exam. 60 00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:25,800 So you have four domains you're being tested on. 61 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,650 And when you receive the final results, 62 00:02:28,650 --> 00:02:30,060 it will tell you on each domain 63 00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:32,550 if you were passing or not passing. 64 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:34,380 And it doesn't tell you your score per domain. 65 00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:35,490 It will never tell you 66 00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:37,590 if you're right or wrong on the question, 67 00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,930 it will just tell you your total score, 68 00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:43,350 as well as your domain level pass or not pass. 69 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:47,100 So 30% of the exam is on designing secure architecture. 70 00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,900 So security is a big thing. 71 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,510 26% is resilient architecture. 72 00:02:51,510 --> 00:02:54,750 So making sure we know about high availability and so on. 73 00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:57,150 24% is high performance. 74 00:02:57,150 --> 00:03:00,660 So how do we leverage the best service for the best use case 75 00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:03,000 with the best features and the best options? 76 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,580 And finally cost-optimized architecture is at 20%. 77 00:03:05,580 --> 00:03:08,670 How do we save on cost in the cloud? 78 00:03:08,670 --> 00:03:09,503 Okay. 79 00:03:09,503 --> 00:03:12,690 So here you can really have a look at each domain 80 00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:14,280 and each knowledge of. 81 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,290 So I'm not going to read everything out to you, 82 00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:18,360 that would be extremely boring, okay? 83 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600 But I've designed this course in reading all the domains 84 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,700 and all the tasks and all the skills. 85 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,590 So really you should be good to go. 86 00:03:25,590 --> 00:03:27,180 If there is something that you don't know 87 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:28,320 or don't feel confident about, 88 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,580 try to go back to the course, 89 00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:30,660 or even better, 90 00:03:30,660 --> 00:03:31,680 now you should know enough 91 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,470 to start looking into the AWS documentation 92 00:03:34,470 --> 00:03:36,930 and really get the right information you need 93 00:03:36,930 --> 00:03:38,910 to understand some services, okay? 94 00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:40,230 So you have the four domains. 95 00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:41,760 I invite you to read them in your own time, 96 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520 otherwise that would be a very horrible video. 97 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,740 And then the appendix of services 98 00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:49,920 that you can consider can appear at the exam 99 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,630 or might appear at the exam, 100 00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:53,730 but you can hopefully rely on me 101 00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:57,060 and say that, "I know what goes at the exam. 102 00:03:57,060 --> 00:03:57,893 I've passed it." 103 00:03:57,893 --> 00:03:58,726 People have passed it 104 00:03:58,726 --> 00:04:00,420 and I receive feedback all the time. 105 00:04:00,420 --> 00:04:02,460 And so what I cover in the course should be enough. 106 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:03,570 And if I don't, 107 00:04:03,570 --> 00:04:05,790 if you have something that is not covered in the course, 108 00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:07,770 just please let me know and I will edit the course 109 00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:08,940 as soon as possible. 110 00:04:08,940 --> 00:04:11,520 But it's usually one question out of 65. 111 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,760 So it doesn't impact your ability to pass the exam. 112 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800 I want you to have a very high score. 113 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,632 Okay. 114 00:04:17,632 --> 00:04:19,050 So that's it for this lecture. 115 00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:19,950 I hope you liked it, 116 00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:21,899 and I will see you in the next lecture.
