AWS Certification: Solutions Architect Practice Tests | 390Q

Preparing for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam? This course gives you 6 full-length practice tests — 390 questions in total — built to mirror the real exam's structure, difficulty, and official domain weighting.

Every single question comes with a detailed explanation for each answer option, not just the correct one. That means when you get something wrong, you're not just told the right answer — you learn exactly why every other option was wrong too, which is the fastest way to close real knowledge gaps instead of memorizing patterns.

What's covered:

• Test 1 — Secure Architectures I: IAM roles, policies, permissions boundaries, service control policies, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Inspector, and Macie

• Test 2 — Secure Architectures II: security groups vs. NACLs, VPC endpoints, Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, Transit Gateway, WAF, Shield, and data encryption

• Test 3 — Resilient Architectures: Multi-AZ, Auto Scaling, RDS read replicas vs. Multi-AZ, Aurora Global Database, disaster recovery strategies, and decoupling with SQS/SNS

• Test 6 — Full-Length Mock Exam: a timed simulation weighted to match the real exam's domain breakdown (30% Security / 26% Resilience / 24% Performance / 20% Cost)

Who this course is for:

• Anyone preparing to sit the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam

• Developers, systems administrators, and IT professionals moving into a solutions architect role
