Detailed Review Of Preparation

First and foremost, practice makes everyone perfect. You have to take the labs on linux academy. The best thing is that you can have your own AWS account for free and use it. If you need AWS credits, sometimes people are selling those on ebay or amazon.com. Check them out. SysOps is the toughest of all three associate exams and most questions i had were scenario based, so if you haven't done any real setting up of your infrastructure, you would find it tough to clear the exams. The acloudguru and linux academy courses are just enough to understand and clear the exams. As you might know, there is a lot of overlap in the associate exams, so the knowledge from developer and architect exams comes in handy. This was my last associate exam. Good luck!
