The SAA-C03 Syllabus at a Glance<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_AWS_Solutions_Architect_Associate_SAA-C03_Exam\"><\/span><b>What Is the AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) Exam?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its core, this exam checks whether you can put cloud components together in a sensible, practical way. It is less about memorising every feature of every service and more about designing something that works under real conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will see questions about storage options, handling traffic spikes, improving security, or choosing a design that survives unexpected failures. These mirror the decisions real architects make when they build or migrate workloads. If you have ever wondered how cloud architects decide which service fits which situation, this exam is built around that thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_SAA-C03_the_Current_Version\"><\/span><b>Is SAA-C03 the Current Version?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. SAA-C03 is the current version of the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam. The previous version, SAA-C02, retired on August 29, 2022, so there is no longer a choice to make between versions. If you are preparing today, you are preparing for SAA-C03, and the syllabus below reflects the current exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SAA-C03_Exam_Format_Questions_Duration_and_Scoring\"><\/span><b>SAA-C03 Exam Format: Questions, Duration, and Scoring<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is what the test itself looks like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">65 questions total, of which 50 count toward your score and 15 are unscored experimental questions you cannot identify during the exam.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">130 minutes to complete it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mix of multiple-choice (one correct answer) and multiple-response (two or more correct answers) questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scored on a scale of 100 to 1000, with 720 needed to pass.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The questions are mostly scenario-based. Rather than asking you to recall a definition, they describe a situation in a line or two and ask which design fits best. AWS uses the 15 unscored questions to trial ideas for future exams, and they do not affect your result.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Four_AWS_Solutions_Architect_Associate_Exam_Domains_and_Their_Weightings\"><\/span><b>The Four AWS Solutions Architect Associate Exam Domains and Their Weightings<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SAA-C03 exam splits into four domains. Each carries a different weight toward your score, and the SAA-C03 domain weightings tell you where to spend your study time.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>SAA-C03 Exam Domain<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Weighting<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Secure Architectures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Resilient Architectures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design High-Performing Architectures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Cost-Optimized Architectures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure architectures carry the most weight, so security topics deserve the most attention. The subtopics under each domain, straight from the official exam guide, are listed further down.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Skills_the_SAA-C03_Exam_Tests\"><\/span><b>What Skills the SAA-C03 Exam Tests<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam objectives come down to three practical skills:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Designing systems that stay secure and reliable.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Build something that keeps running even when a piece of it fails, and protect it with the right security layers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Choosing the right service for the job.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Read a requirement and pick a solution that makes sense, one that will not crumble under load or cost a fortune.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Giving solid design advice.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Recommend best practices and suggest improvements across the life of a project, which is a large part of an architect&#8217;s real work.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_You_Need_Any_Prerequisites_for_the_SAA-C03_Exam\"><\/span><b>Do You Need Any Prerequisites for the SAA-C03 Exam?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You do not need any earlier certification to sit SAA-C03. AWS suggests you have around a year of hands-on AWS experience, some background in traditional or on-prem IT, and a basic grasp of networking, storage, compute, and databases. If you are newer than that, do not worry. Good training material, hands-on labs, and consistent practice close the gap quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Top_15_SAA-C03_Exam_Topics_to_Master\"><\/span><b>The Top 15 SAA-C03 Exam Topics to Master<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the heart of the AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam syllabus.

You&#8217;ll see multiple questions about Identity and Access Management policies, roles, and permission boundaries. Also, understand how Security Groups and Network ACLs work in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Key Management Service (KMS) is frequently mentioned and mainly refers to encryption at rest and in transit, cross-account access, and key rotation. Be aware of how to encrypt S3 objects and EBS volumes, and the way KMS can be used along with Amazon RDS and Lambda.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Common Questions on AWS Security in SAA-C03<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;A company needs to share encrypted data with another AWS account securely.

Knowing the difference between Multi-AZ and Multi-Region configurations is one of the questions that are being tested rather frequently during the exam. Make sure that you are very confident in designing architectures using Elastic Load Balancers, auto-scaling groups, and Route 53 failover policies in the most adequate way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Real-World Scenarios Asked in the SAA-C03 Exam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One scenario described a legacy app running in a single Amazon EC2 instance. How can availability be boosted with minimal change? Was the question. Learn the timing to introduce an ALB or to switch to managed services such as AWS Elastic Beanstalk or ECS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Topic_3_%E2%80%93_Design_High-Performing_Architectures_Amazon_EC2_EBS_S3_Performance_Optimization\"><\/span><b>Topic 3 \u2013 Design High-Performing Architectures: Amazon EC2, EBS, S3 Performance Optimization<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll get questions that require you to optimize latency and throughput for EC2 and S3.
