Review by Mark J. Curry in progress
0 of 378 questions reviewed so far. Questions show who reviewed them and when once their review is done. Until the expert signs off, each question is drafted from the sources it cites, items we couldn't confirm are flagged for the expert, and it shows no "Reviewed by" line.
What Mark J. Curry reviews
- Every question: that it matches one domain of AWS's current content outline and tests something you need on the job, not trivia.
- Every explanation: why the right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong.
- Every source line: that the standard, regulation or manual named really supports the answer.
- The study guides, which show the review date once a guide is reviewed.
- Every "Report a problem" sent from a question.
How the review works
Questions are written from the published outline and the documents it names. Mark J. Curry then checks each one against those documents and their own practice, and either approves it, corrects it or removes it. Corrections go into the bank.
We are not affiliated with AWS and never see real exam questions. Every question is written from AWS's public content outline and the standards it names, so nothing here is a leaked or recalled item. How we write questions
