Instructions

This mock mirrors the real AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) exam: 65 questions in one 130-minute section, with no scheduled break.

Question types: multiple choice (one correct answer from four options) and multiple response (the stem says “Choose two.” or “Choose three.”; you get credit only if you pick every correct option).
Domains: Design Secure Architectures 30%, Design Resilient Architectures 26%, Design High-Performing Architectures 24%, Design Cost-Optimized Architectures 20%. Questions from different domains are mixed together, as on test day.
Scoring: the real exam scores 50 questions and hides 15 unscored ones. Here every question is scored, and your percentage correct is converted to an estimated scaled score from 100 to 1,000. 720 passes; the Courselo top-marks target is 850+.
Rules: no penalty for guessing, so never leave a question blank. No calculator, notes or documentation. Flag anything you are unsure of and return to it from the review screen before time runs out.

Pacing plan: aim to be at question 22 by minute 40, question 44 by minute 82, and finish your first pass by minute 115. Use the last 15 minutes for flagged questions. Sit it in one go in a quiet room, the way you will on exam day.

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.
