Week-by-Week Schedule

Week 4— Design Secure Architectures · Design Resilient Architectures · Design High-Performing Architectures · Design Cost-Optimized Architectures

16 days
  • Design Secure Architectures

    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.

    📅 4 days🎯 ~38 questions/day⚖ 30% of exam
    Study →
    • ✓IAM policies: identity-based, resource-based, permission boundaries.
    • ✓VPC security: security groups vs NACLs, route tables, VPC endpoints.
    • ✓Encryption: KMS, SSE-S3, SSE-KMS, client-side encryption.
  • Design Resilient Architectures

    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.

    📅 4 days🎯 ~33 questions/day⚖ 26% of exam
    Study →
    • ✓Multi-AZ vs multi-Region deployment trade-offs.
    • ✓Auto Scaling policies and when to scale horizontally vs vertically.
    • ✓Elastic Load Balancing: ALB, NLB, CLB and their use cases.
  • Design High-Performing Architectures

    Use this page to practise Design High-Performing Architectures questions for this certification. Focus on how the exam tests design high-performing architectures in scenario format — understanding the why behind each answer builds more durable knowledge than memorising options.

    📅 4 days🎯 ~34 questions/day⚖ 24% of exam
    Study →
    • ✓Core Design High-Performing Architectures concepts and how they apply in real-world cloud scenarios.
    • ✓How to deploy design high-performing architectures correctly and verify the outcome.
    • ✓Troubleshooting design high-performing architectures issues by interpreting error output and system state.
  • Design Cost-Optimized Architectures

    Use this page to practise Design Cost-Optimized Architectures questions for this certification. Focus on how the exam tests design cost-optimized architectures in scenario format — understanding the why behind each answer builds more durable knowledge than memorising options.

How to use this 30-day plan

  • →Commit to 2 hours per day — consistency beats marathon sessions.
  • →Start each domain by reading the objective description, then immediately move to practice questions.
  • →Don't skip domains with low weight — exam questions can come from any domain.
  • →When you finish a domain, score ≥ 80% on its practice questions before moving on.
  • →In the final 3 days, do full mixed-domain practice tests to simulate real exam conditions.
  • →Review wrong answers immediately — understanding why you were wrong is more valuable than getting it right.
