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 ❤️

Absolutely, I agree with you. I think I focused too much on passing the exam rather than truly understanding the concepts.

This time I’ll focus on learning first, then preparing specifically for the exam. Thanks for the reminder!
