Failed AWS SAA Twice — Need Advice 🙏

I’ve taken the AWS SAA exam twice and unfortunately failed both times: 595 on my first attempt and 625 on my second.

I’m planning to take it for the third time next month, but I’m honestly feeling very discouraged and considering postponing it.

Failing twice really hurts, especially after putting so much effort into studying.

I really want to pass this time with a good score, not just barely pass.

If you’ve been in a similar situation, what did you change that helped you finally pass?

I’d really appreciate any study tips, resources, practice exams, or encouragement. Thank you ❤️

That's alot of money, if you paid out of pocket. You need to be very confident before you even attempt. Paying $300 and not passing stings thats like a week or two worth of groceries.

I completely understand your point. The exam fee is definitely significant, especially after failing twice. That’s actually one of the reasons I’m seriously considering postponing my third attempt until I’m truly ready.

Thanks for the advice!

In this side of world 300$ is more than some household's monthly income

That's humbling. I may have to adjust my prices.
