I failed an AWS Exam TWICE (Mistakes to avoid for SysOps) 

Really brave to share this story, thank you so much : )

I normally don’t comment on videos but I have seen a couple of your videos while I embark on this journey and I can see the work you put into them. Plus, it’s good content. So I wanted to personally thank you and encourage you to keep pushing forward in your journey 👍

I love what you do Lucy! That's for sharing all this information.

Well done for sharing this! I have failed the SYSOPS madness 2 times as well, trying to sit in the exam once at 2 weeks. Passed the 3rd time 🤞 I think we should share more about our failures since they are so important and part of our success too. Really appreciate your courage, keep going!

Excellent video, I appreciate you sharing your failures and how you managed to overcome them, actually I am studying to pass AWS SysOps Cert and your advice are very good for me

Thanks for sharing your advice Lucy. Very thoughtful of you

Thanks, For all the information and efforts you put to explain things on the whiteboard. Appreciated.

Good stuff. Thank you so much, Lucy.

Great video Lucy. Your tips for passing are really well thought out and explained. We all have and will continue to fail. I’m glad you put your efforts out here for everyone to benefit. You’ll pass the exam obviously. I learned a lot. You are awesome.

Girl same!! I Failed twice and have been nervous to try again. Thanks for this video and the advice.

Thanks for the sharing Lucy !

Just took the 2021 Q3 SysOps Associate with the labs that were introduced. Questions were definitely tough but as you said hands on experience for practice labs are huge. Thanks to getting the hands on labs experience helped with the exam labs, hope i passed! Thank you for your experience and tips!

Thanks @Lucy . The course " Adrian Cantrill's Course " you mentioned in your video description , The course is very much helpful and I have found this course is the best course . Thanks !!

honest view ,very informative , thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for this amazing video... Super helpful!

Thanks Lucy for the upload. I think I'll hold on till end of the month before booking for the exam and concentrate more on the labs because I haven't done much of them.

Thank you for this video. I passed Developer Associates yesterday with a score of 947 and now I'm going for SysOps Administration by next month's end. Already got Stephane's SysOps material from Udemy. What I got from this video is that I shouldn't be too overconfident and do as much hands on as possible to understand the real case scenarios. I might get errors too and this will help me in troubleshooting. Looking forward to prepare at my best and pass this exam in one go.

I have my 1st attempt to the AWS Certificate Developer exam tomorrow. I prepared a lot and worked with AWS as a software engineer for a while, but the more test exams I take, the more I'm aware I just can't memorise it all and it depends on what questions I get. It's uplifting to hear your story because people always talk like they pass AWS certs with no issues at 1st attempt.

Thank you for sharing your experience... was help helpful TC

Thank you. I found this video helpful. Very soon I'm planning to give AWS SA exam. Keep doing such video about cloud technology experience

Great advices! Thanks for sharing.

Terrific video. Great reflection

Thank you for mentioning that FAQs, i just realized most of the questions in exam can be found FAQs.

thanks, I passed 2 AWS certifications and going for sysops. I was also getting overconfident, after watching this i will take my time and study sysops throughly.

very motivating video! keep making content!

You are our mentor. Thank a lot.

Thanks for sharing with us 🙃

Thank you for sharing this!

Thx for the advice and congratulations. I passed SA02 and also felt confident enough to take SysOps two weeks later, but failed. :(

Fantastic video!

I passed it! Lucy you are the bomb!

Thank you for sharing, I just failed my SAA-C02. But that's just a temporary failure. The aim is to pass.

so glad im seeing this!

I too failed twice with 595 and 625 scores :( I could see people sailing in same boat now.. so I am not the only one then thanks for your tips hope I will pass in next attempt

Took the Sysops exam today. Really really hard. I don´t think it is possible for anyone to prepare the exam in one week. The questions were hard and the labs had some obscure topics. Awaiting for my grade now. Thanks Lucy for the advice!

"something fell on the floor' dialogue touched my heart 😂

Hey Lucy! I'm quite the late bloomer been searching RU-vid for some honest AWS reviews thanks for sharing this video. I also recently failed the SysOps Exam Twice and Passed on the Third Attempt, I took it a few months after Cloud Practitioner as a requirement for the Cloud Engineer role I recently obtained, Its definitely not an easy one to tackle expecially with the labs introduced to the exam just recently. Your advice was 100% I was hoping you could help me with Tips for the Associate Developer? I have Foundational Python & Java coding experience. I recently passed the Solutions Architect 2 weeks after the SysOps and trying to jot down a game plan for Associate Developer. Thanks in advance for your Support.

Love your channel keep it up please !!

Perfect, thank you

Hello Lucy, How Exam Labs are being evaluated ? Like it contains 2-3 subsections. If we could not able to complete 1 subsection of it then in that case do we get any points or 0 points for that Exam lab?

Thanks for sharing! This is very encouraging! Do you have a video that shows the difference between Solutions Architect vs Sysops Admin? I'm confused and not sure which to take 1st ?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love from the United States!

great stuff, what hands on labs do you use? what would you recommend for AWS ? I am used to qwiklabs but that is mainly for GCP . thanks

Congrats!

Jon Bonso's Practise Text in udemy is 60 dollars, but in tutorialDojo its way less. What are the differences?

Thank you for your vidéo. You will pass it next time.

love your video

Thanks I have a Sysops exam coming up will let you know!

Just passed with 943 on the first try- thanks for the great video & tips!

Congrats on passing!

Thanks, coming from a Microsoft background, the Azure Administrator was also harder than I expected. Hubris 😅.

Thanks for sharing your experience . Where do you suggest to get hands on practice or do trouble shooting? Thanks

just pass SAA-C03 & DVA-C02 recently. Aiming for DevOps next, should I take SysOps before DevOps, thx for any suggestion!

4:36 what could be the potential reason when the service goes down? (something fell down)

Hey Lucy, Will the Stephane Maarek's Udemy Course work for SysOps Certification CO-2 as well as it has labs included in the exam?

Thanks for the great tips- Any good practice tests you can recommend for the SysOps Certification?

*Hey Lucy, i have question for you* If a person has a certification in either one of the following AWS, GCP, Azure, can he/she join it's competitor's company on basis of that certification??

Hi I'm not interested in coding / programming which certification should I go for in aws?

AWS sysops will have a new exam coming 2021 Q3. You get to do a cloud based project for the exam as well for it. This should be a game changer

I'm waiting for my result, there is not pass or fail in the screen for the C02, you have to wait for your result, the message say 5 business days, but the SOA-C02 was a nightmare, it requieres a lot but a lot of hand on experience, most of the questions ask for details like the specific name of an configuration option, sometimes thats is the only difference between an answer and other, if your don't know that little detail, there is no way to know which answer is more possible, i've been working with aws for 2 years and still was not enough, especially the parts related with AWS organization, sometimes you got almost exactly the same 4 answers except for a little detail changed, sometime all the 4 answer are correct, but you have to choose base on cost, or performance, or availability, so be careful reading those details in the questions, it was plenty in multiple choice questions, and the multiple choice are all or nothing, the labs were easy, and i got and issue saving a configuration, i got a insufficient right message in the aws lab account, i had to close and open the browser of the lab to save my changes to the environment. In my case , i'm not english native, so they give me extra 30 minutes, even when i got 220 minutes to do the exam, i just leave it with 10 minutes, tired, and the worst i will have 5 night without sleep thinking in the grade because as i told you, there is not Pass or fail immediately on the screen as in the aws developer or architect.

The road to success is always paved with failures.

Thanks so much. Question: Can i pass aws sysops if i have No before experience in sysops And now only learn aws sysops Are these different sysops ans aws sysops Please Answer Thanks

what the best placed for doing hands on labs in your opinion

I failed my Sysops exam today, I passed my Solutions Architect in the first try with good score and used 50% voucher to schedule my Syops. And now i failed on top of it, I have to pay the entire $150 next time. I am totally broken

Thank you for your sharing. How could you find your lab exercises?

Please suggest any AWS sysOps book which I should buy?

Besides the AWS certifications are there any other IT certifications you are aiming to pass ?

Referred ACloudGuru Sysops course materials and labs but failed the exam today with only 680 marks. Would you suggest any other material?

is Solution Architecture the least of the choices when it comes to programming? and what programming language is prefer to use in AWS?

Hi there, I tried for AWS Solution Architect Associate Exam twice and in the first attempt I got my result as "invalidate" . One of my colleague told that if you have any previous attempts with result as invalidate then we are not eligible to take up further AWS exams. Could you confirm whether it's true? If so, letme know what should I do to become eligible again? Please help me with this. Thankyou!

Nice video! Any tips for the Developer Exam? I will try to pass this exam in this weekend but still not feeling confident enough

Hi Lucy, I have cleared Solution Architect Associate and now planning to take sysops. I wanted to know will it be enough to clear the exam if I do all the practise tests from on bonso, Stephan and neal davis, I ll also go through FAQs, is there anything else I should refer to or this will be enough???

Yesterday I took my first AWS exam(Developer associate) and I think I failed it even though I prepared for about 3 month. In such period you were able to pass 3 certification exams. WOW. I feeling such a looser now.

I just completed my graduation I'm interested in AWS from where I have to start ....? Any suggestions

Than you for advices. I've 3 month to prepare aws sysops exam. I dont have any practice possibility if not WhizLab material. I study a chapter and after i start the labs. When i will finish all chapters, i will do a complete simulation.. Good luck to me 😂

What was your approach for note-taking while studying for AWS exams?

I bit confused which need to take exam solution architect or Ops admin

If you do a lot of practice exams like 500-600 practice questions, even if do memorise answers, it will work

Would you kindly tell me ,is there any prerequisites AWS certification to get into sysopps exam please?

For the new version of SYS OPS exam can you tell us how to prepare for the new hands on lab questions ?

I have a doubt as to what happens if you fail any aws exam ...should we pay the whole money again or will we get any attempts to clear the exam ?

Please share study guide/link...which videos you referred for study?

I failed twice as well now.. My free tier expired and I'm not sure how I am going to practice..

is there any other practice exam on udemy to look other than jojo ?

i personally feel the udemy course and practice exams are insufficient , Can you suggest any other sources to prepare

Hello Lucy.. nice video sharing your journey.. unrelated question on how you make your videos do u use any script prompters how did u add captions...could you pls share.. i cleared SAA in Dec20 and now plng either SysOps or Security Speciality.. going thru Stage 1 ( online courses)..thanks for sharing

i love that

holly crab, you just speedrun AWS. feel bad about myself now

I found it frustrating that there were tons of content to be memorized for saa002 XD, even I had passed cloud practitioner

It takes guts to make a video and acknowledge your failures. You've earned yourself a subscriber for your honesty. Go Get the Next Certification Lucy!
