![]() ![]() My quiz contained topics from both the Developer and Solution Architect categories. Final Thoughtsįor those wanting to take the AWS Quiz, here are some final tips based on my experience. And despite the latest research, which says to go with your second thoughts, I never doubted myself. After I narrowed down to at least 50%, I went with my gut. I was taught to go with your first instincts on multiple choice quizzes. The correct answer is usually one of the group that have similarities. So find the pattern similarities and eliminate the outliers. Another observation was that the set of answers were just slight variations of each other, but one of the answers was patently different. But A&D and B&C were very different.) If I could eliminate 1 set of choices, that would give me a 50% chance. (For example, choices A & D were very similar. The differences between the choices were 2 sets of answers that were similar to each other versus the other 2 sets of answers which were likewise similar to each other. I noticed that the answers had many similarities. And then when you do read the question, you should be able to eliminate the wrong answers. This will immediately tell your brain the scope and breadth of the question before actually reading it. Analyze Answers Firstĭon't read the question first - look at all the answers as a whole. The same tactics (or hacks) used decades ago when I took the SATs and GMATs could still be applied. Hacking the QuizĪnd then it dawned on me. The questions changed completed from networking to databases to JSON syntax to EC2 types and so on. I re-read the questions 3 times, and then take an educated guess at the answers when the clock < 10 seconds. This pattern went on for the next 4 questions. As the counter ticked down to 10 seconds left, I took a guess at the answer. I was given 4 different (long) answers and I started to freak out. It was a scenario question around private/public subnet and networking. ![]() The first question popped up and immediately the bottom timer starting counting down. I thought to myself that I had nothing to lose, it's a Friday, and taking minor risks makes life exciting. This feature was brand new, so there's no practical way to prep for it. And given how broad AWS is, it's almost impossible to know what questions LinkedIn would ask. I haven't signed-in to AWS console or the CLI in a long time because I'm usually in meetings with my customers. And I could always retake the quiz in 3 months.Īlthough I already hold 3 AWS Certifications, it's been 6+ months since I last studied any AWS concepts. A passing score is 70% or higher and, if I failed, my profile would remained unchanged. My quiz had 20 questions and I was given 2 minutes for each question. You are timed and the questions are multiple choice. ![]() Understand the Quiz LayoutĪccording to the help section, each quiz can be 15-20 questions and must be completed in 1 session. And 89% of hirers said they think skill assessments are an essential part of evaluating candidates for a job. According to LinkedIn: 69% of professionals think verified skills are more important than college education. Oh, wow! I love trying new (beta) features, especially only 1 week after release. It's currently being tested, is only available in English, and isn’t accessible to all.
