Part 9: A Realistic Journey to Certification: What They Don't Tell You!

AFTER YOUR EXAM

When and how do you get your results?

Once you complete your exam, the exam portal may tell you how to get your results. 

After my AWS exam, the portal displayed a prompt saying I would receive the results within  5 business days. However, I got the results on the same day.

Getting your results

If you didn't pass the exam, don't fret. You can go again. These exams are quite difficult, and most people usually take them 2 or even 3 times before passing.

Everyone has their unique style and pace of learning. Know yours, and come back stronger.
