https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/trails/learn-the-aws-cloud-practitioner-essentials

It was written in collaboration with AWS, is around 6 hours of material and includes mini quizzes.

It even has a mini guide with practice questions

Just wanna say a big thanks for putting this site together – would have been lost without it!

I passed the exam yesterday – I found the Whizlabs past papers the best, the Udemy ones were a bit more of a challenge (still worth doing IMO) but I agree there is a lot of content on those that doesn’t seem applicable for the cert. The linux academy questions (part of the 7 day free trial – questions at end of each section as well as one 60min past paper at the end) were also very useful. I noticed if you re-do the linux q’s then you often get different questions the second time through, so worth doing if anyone else uses that site.

Your summary sheet was also great so I didn’t actually use the white papers in the end. I passed very comfortably so I naturally wouldn’t suggest anyone spending too much time on the white papers… obviously it won’t do any harm if people have enough spare time but i’m more an ambassador for repeating practice questions.

Once again thanks guys – such a huge help.

Paul

@Chris There’s no harm in reading the white papers, but they are overkill. If you use the PDF linked to this post, it gives you the gist of the scope you need to know. Many of the mock exams cover things that go beyond the scope of the real exam. That freaked me out a bit when I was studying :).

I’ve started studying by reading the three top recommended (by my team) white papers (listed below) and taking the first Udemy mock exam. There were some questions not covered in any white paper; for example, several questions on the Enterprise Support option. Are there white papers I should add to my study list?

@Tyler: No. I haven’t taken the architect exam. However, Amazon published an official study guide in 2017. Other publishers have as well. Sybex’s came out in March. (Sybex is my publisher for the Java cert exams so I know they have an excellent process)
