Official blueprint
The SAA-C03 exam covers 4 domains. Each domain has a defined weight — the percentage of exam questions it contributes. Courseiva has 1,394 practice questions mapped across these objectives.

Use this page to practise secure architecture questions. The most common mistake is confusing the responsibility boundary — know which security controls AWS manages and which are your responsibility.
440 practice questions available
Use this page to practise high availability and resilience questions. The SAA-C03 exam tests your ability to match an architecture pattern to an RTO/RPO requirement — know the cost and recovery time of each pattern.
361 practice questions available
Design High-Performing Architectures is 24% of SAA-C03 and tests whether you can pick AWS services and configurations that meet latency, throughput, and scaling goals without over-provisioning. Expect scenario questions comparing instance families, storage types, caching layers, database engines, and network paths, then asking which choice best satisfies a stated performance requirement at the lowest cost.
316 practice questions available
Design Cost-Optimized Architectures is 20% of SAA-C03 and tests whether you can pick the cheapest AWS design that still meets availability, performance, and durability requirements. Expect scenario questions on S3 storage classes and lifecycle rules, EC2 purchasing options, EBS volume types, RDS/Aurora choices, data transfer costs, and right-sizing versus elasticity trade-offs.
277 practice questions available
Start with the highest-weight domain — that's where most of your exam questions will come from. Work through each objective's practice questions until you can answer at least 85% correctly. Return to lower-weight domains last, and use the full practice test to test cross-domain recall.
