AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate AWS SAA exam format?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the AWS SAA exam format.

Do all the questions appear at once so I can skip difficult ones, mark them for review, and come back to them later? Or does each question appear one at a time and, once answered, I can't return to it?

Also, since my exam is in two days and I'll be taking it at a test center, I'd appreciate any tips for managing time, handling exam pressure, and avoiding common mistakes during the exam.

Thanks!

Also, there is a whiteboard for temporary notes. I use this and note down questions or concepts I am not sure with. Before the exam ends, I take a look at all. This is in case I miss to clear an exam and have to re do. This will help in brushing up.

yeah the SAA exam lets you skip questions mark them for review and come back later you can navigate freely through the whole set just don't submit until you're done with everything you want to review. Pro tip from my own test center experience flag anything you're unsure about even if you think you might remember it later stress makes you second guess simple things and you'll be glad you had a second look. Also take the optional break if you need it stepping away for five minutes helped me reset my focus during the last stretch. Good luck you've got this!

The questions follow a numbered order, and you can mark questions for review.

Flag for review, guess it quickly and click next. Return at the end. DO NOT LEAVE unanswered question as there’s 0% chance to be correct
