I've passed the AWS SAA(Solutions Architect Associate) exam in one coin. I have no special knowhow to share but I've got several helps mostly from AWS SAA dump and youtube and blogs.
AWS SAA dump
https://free-braindumps.com/amazon/free-saa-c03-braindumps.html
=> It has some wrong answers, so you have to look up for the real answers by searching on below site.
https://www.examtopics.com/discussions/amazon/
=> It also has some wrong answers checked, but it has a lot of comments of discussions with the problems(especially when the answer is wrong) and you can discover kindful comments who share and organize the specific knowledge that we need to understand to solve the problem. I strongly recommend studying by English because translated sentences could be very ambiguous.
https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/learn/course/13266/play/54740/aws-certified-solutions-architect-associate-official-practice-question-set-saa-c03-english
=> It is an official site by AWS and there are lots of courses, but we have to save our resources, so I would recommend to take this practice set(20 problems) latest version to prepare for the latest problem style.
https://www.awsboy.com/aws-practice-exams/solutions-architect-associate/
=> This site has several practice exam sets(4 sets for now) for free!! It provides an environment similar to the actual testing environment. This site has started from 2022, so I believe the problems that the site provide have no such old-fashion style.
AWS Youtube for Study
https://www.youtube.com/@AWSClassroom
=> Strongly recommend. You can learn the AWS services by following the real practice examples.
AWS Organized Notes before the exam
https://worlf.tistory.com/m/25
=> It's kind of cheat-sheet for AWS services. It is a very good organized note, so you can see this blog on your way for going to take the exam.
Exam Result
By the way, nearly close to fail the exam LoL. But it' not bad comparing to my preparation period for the exam. I prepared for the exam almost 1 week and probably total invested time will not be bigger than 60 hours. I had a bad score on the Domain 4 section, which is building architecture optimized with costs. I think I missed the problem when it requires cost-effective solution I guess..
When you pass the exam, then you will have a digital badge and you can register this badge with your SNS like LinkedIn or Github.
And if you pass the exam, AWS gives us 50% discount coupon for the next challenge. I am going to register the next exam which is SAP(Solution Architect Professional). Hopefully, I will pass the exam and get another badge!
