System Requirements

A practice test is an informal simulation of the actual exam and aims to educate you better in terms of what to expect when you get to the real thing. A MeasureUp practice test includes around 150 questions covering the exam objective domains. In a MeasureUp practice test, there are two specific test-taking modes to prepare students for their certification: Certification Mode and Practice Mode. 

  • The Practice Mode allows you to highly customize your testing environment. You may select how many questions they want to include in their assessment, the maximum time to finish the test, the possibility to randomize the question order, and select how and which questions will be shown in the test. 
  • The Certification Mode simulates the actual testing environment users will encounter when taking a certification exam. They are timed and do not permit users to request the answers and explanations to questions until after the test.

How to use the AWS SOA-C02 Practice Test?  

You can use the AWS SOA-C02 practice test in two different ways: certification and practice mode. The former gives you the possibility to evaluate your knowledge and discover your weak areas, and the latter enables you to focus on these areas, ensuring you spend your time intelligently. We recommend you to first take the AWS SOA-C02 practice test in certification mode. By reviewing the generated report after completion of the test, you will get a helpful overview of which areas require further attention. You should next take the test in practice mode in order to develop those areas. Once you are confident you have improved your knowledge in these areas, you can take the test again in certification mode and, on passing twice in a row with a score of 90%, you know you are exam ready!

 

Will the questions be the same as the actual exam?  

Although the questions will replicate those of the official exam in terms of style, content, level of difficulty, for reasons of copyright they will not be exactly the same. This will allow you to fully understand the content you are studying so that, no matter how the questions are focused, you can be confident you are covering the same material and that you will have no problem in passing the exam.
