[TOTAL OF 450 UPDATED QUESTIONS]


This course will allow you to assess your knowledge of the following domains in the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional SAP-C01  exam:

Domain 1: Design for Organizational Complexity (12.5%)
Domain 2: Design for New Solutions (31%)
Domain 3: Migration Planning (15%)
Domain 4: Cost Control (12.5%)
Domain 5: Continuous Improvement for Existing Solutions (29%)

This course is for you if you:
- Have passed the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, Developer Associate or SysOps Administrator Associate certifications; OR
- Have an equivalent level of hands-on knowledge from experience working with AWS services.

- I recommend you score at least an 80% on all exams before trying the actual exam.
- No duplicate questions.

Only this course isn't enough to obtain approval in the exam. This course is a very powerful tool, but first, you have to study the exam subjects to align the content learned with the format of the questions and so get similarity with the Exam format of questions.
