I will also provide three practice test (195 questions) in the exact format of real AWS certification. Following are the details on the practice tests.

Students taking these practice tests will get to know the complexity of scenario based questions, as well as get acquainted with the simple straight forward questions.  Students can review the answers with explanation referring to AWS documentation. There are many updates/changes in the 2018 Solutions Architect Associate Exam, I have tailored the practice test questions towards 2018 exam. 

I have also done in-depth study of the AWS recommended  whitepapers for attempting the Solutions Architect Associate exam, These practice tests covers all of the concepts ( Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Security, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence) from those whitepapers . I took special care not to repeat same questions because i believe your time is precious and i want you to learn something new with each question.
