Instructions

This diagnostic has 24 questions in 48 minutes, the same 2 minutes per question as the real exam. It samples all four SAA-C03 domains in the official proportions: Secure 7, Resilient 6, High-Performing 6, Cost-Optimized 5.

Multiple choice questions have one correct answer out of four.
Multiple response questions say how many to choose (“Choose two.”). You get credit only if you pick every correct option.
Wrong answers carry no penalty, so answer every question. You can flag questions and come back to them before you submit.
No calculator or notes. Read each scenario for the requirement qualifier (MOST cost-effective, LEAST operational overhead, MOST secure). It decides between answers that could otherwise both work.

Your result is an estimated scaled score (100–1,000, pass 720) with a breakdown by domain and topic. Your study plan will start with your weakest domain. Take it cold, before studying, so the baseline is honest.

Afterwards

Your score arrives with section scores, a breakdown by topic, your time on every question and each answer explained. Questions you miss join your review queue.
