Top 5 Free AWS Review Materials

Last updated on June 26, 2021

Currently, the cost of an AWS Certification exam starts from 150 USD for associate-level exams and up to a whopping 300 USD for professional-level and specialty-type exams. For some, this amount is negligible but to many IT professionals around the world, this amount is relatively expensive. The official AWS Practice Exam ranges from 20 to 40 USD, which you can only take once (unless you shell out another $20 or $40 again in order to retake it).

On top of it, there are a lot of people who subscribe to online cloud learning providers which can range from $30 to $38 per month or $250 to $450 per year. Some folks even subscribe to two or more providers which can drive their total learning costs to over a thousand bucks! Hey, I could have bought a brand new iPhone 11 Pro Max or Pixel 4 XL with that amount of money! Don’t get me wrong, investing in these educational materials are also helpful especially if you are quite new with AWS. But just keep in mind that there are also a lot of resources out there that can give you more bang to your buck!

To help you pass your AWS exam without breaking the bank, here are the 5 top, high-quality resources that you can use for free:

1. Official AWS Certification Prep Page
