Intro

What is this?

• These are just my notes for the AWS Cloud Practitioner to try and help out other people preparing for the certification: https://aws.amazon.com/certification/certified-cloud-practitioner.

How do you learn?

• You might have heard people saying reading isn't effective as practicing and some forms of learning are "better" than others. Well, that is true but it differs for everyone, so if you're not sure, just try and teach others, by what I'm doing (making notes in the simplest of words to try and teach myself and other people) or by just getting a study buddy from Discord or Reddit and learning together and teaching each other things.

• If you just cram in loads of text, there's almost no chance you're going to remember it later and it just isn't sustainable way of learning (for me and most other people).

• So the best way for me? 1. Watch a video course (like this one https://www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-new/). 2. Make notes on it in your own words with the aim to teach people (you don't have to actually teach people but with that mentality, you learn more effectively). 3. Do tons of practice exams (like these: https://portal.tutorialsdojo.com/courses/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-practice-exams/) and thoroughly understand where you went wrong and if you guessed for a question and accidentally got it right, understand those types of questions as well.
