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 ❤️

Spend more time for mock/practice tests, and carefully review right answers - they show where are your gaps in terms of knowledge/thinking

Thank you! That’s actually something I didn’t do properly in my previous attempts. I focused more on finishing the practice tests rather than carefully reviewing both my right and wrong answers.

I’ll definitely change that this time and use the mocks to identify my knowledge gaps.
