How to study for the CLF-C02
Start with the biggest domains
Cloud Technology and Services (34%) and Security and Compliance (30%) carry the most weight. Learn what each core service does and what it is not, since many wrong options are real services that solve a different problem.
Read the explanations for wrong answers
The exam is mostly about telling similar services and concepts apart. Each explanation here covers every option, so a missed question shows you the difference.
Confirm against the official exam guide
AWS updates its services and exam guide over time. Check the current AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner page for the latest domains and weights.
