    My Journey and Courses:

    1. Topic-wise complete free Official guide 
    2. Please test your knowledge by giving practice test Quiz Experts Practice Tests






    My Suggestion:

    1. (Very important topics) Terraform Modules and how version argument works in module block, Terraform state, and Logging and CLI are the most crucial topic.
    2. Use practice tests to identify your weak areas, and it will also help you manage your time during the exam by giving you a similar experience. 
    3. Udemy has a lot of fake practice tests which do not even have proper certification level questions. The one I used (Quiz Experts) is one of the best, and helped me a lot with the points & details I was missing and gave me enough confidence to face the actual exam and helped me score 51 out of 57.

    Terraform preparation journey tips

    I successfully cleared the Terraform Associate Certification with 2 weeks of learning. I studied using Tj Adam's course on Udemy and complemented it with Bryan Krausen's practice test(Links provided in the last section).  If you do a lot of hands-on Terraform, you will be fine in the exam.
