by Getting ready for the AWS Solutions Architect Professional Exam is not an easy task! It is currently one of the most difficult AWS certification to get with the DevOps one due to the number of services it covers.

AWS even recommends 2 years of experience on the platform.
As usual a good start is to follow the awesome https://acloud.guru/ courses.

One last thing, if English is not your first language you might be able to get an extra 30 minutes by contacting the certification team, but this request can take up to a month prior to taking the exam.
Good luck to everyone taking this exam!
