Chapter 97: AWS Cloud Quiz
AWS Cloud Quiz
First things first — there is no single official product called “AWS Cloud Quiz”.
When people (especially students, freshers, Telugu YouTube viewers, LinkedIn learners, or people preparing for certifications in Hyderabad / Bengaluru / Pune) type “AWS Cloud Quiz”, they are almost always looking for one of these four things:
- Official AWS practice quizzes / assessment questions (free or paid, inside Skill Builder)
- Third-party AWS certification practice quizzes (Tutorials Dojo, Whizlabs, Jon Bonso, Udemy, etc.)
- Free online AWS quiz websites / mobile apps (for quick revision / fun learning)
- The concept of using quizzes as a learning & exam preparation method
So today we’re going to cover all four meanings — because they are very closely related — in a detailed, honest, practical way that actually helps you decide which quizzes to use, how to use them, and how not to waste time or money.
Let’s go step by step — whiteboard style.
1. Interpretation #1 — Official AWS Practice Quizzes & Assessments
AWS provides several types of official practice questions — these are the ones written by the same people who write the real certification exams.
| Name / Location | Free or Paid? | Number of questions | Best for which exam(s) | Realistic quality (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AWS Certification Official Practice Question Set (Skill Builder) | Free (with limitations) / Paid subscription | 20–65 questions per set | All foundational & associate exams | Very high (closest to real exam style) |
| AWS Certification Official Practice Exam (Skill Builder) | Paid (~₹1,200–2,000 per attempt) | 65–75 questions, timed | Cloud Practitioner, SAA, Developer, SysOps | Highest quality — almost identical style |
| AWS Cloud Quest – Cloud Practitioner | Free | Built-in challenges + quizzes | Cloud Practitioner only | High (gamified, very motivating) |
| AWS Certification Readiness Webinars | Free | 10–20 sample questions per webinar | All levels | Medium–high (good explanations) |
Best starting point in 2026 India:
- Go to explore.skillbuilder.aws → sign in with your AWS account
- Search “Official Practice Question Set” for your target exam
- Do all free questions first
- If you score >80 %, buy the Official Practice Exam (worth every rupee)
2. Interpretation #2 — Third-Party Practice Quizzes (The Ones Most People Use)
These are created by independent authors / companies — not AWS — but many are excellent and sometimes even better than official for learning.
| Platform / Author | Price (2026 approx.) | Number of questions | Realistic quality & uniqueness | Most popular among Hyderabad learners |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) | ₹1,000–2,000 per course | 6 full exams + topic quizzes | Highest quality — hardest & most accurate | #1 choice for almost everyone |
| Stephane Maarek Udemy practice exams | ₹500–800 (sale price) | 6 full exams | Very good explanations, slightly easier | Very popular (especially CP & SAA) |
| Whizlabs | ₹1,000–2,000 | 5–10 exams | Good, but some outdated questions | Common second choice |
| ExamTopics / ITExams / Dumps | Free / cheap | Hundreds | Often inaccurate / outdated — risky | Many people use → many fail exam |
Golden rule 2026 (very important):
Do NOT rely only on dumps / free leaked questions. They are usually wrong / outdated / violate NDA → you may pass the exam but fail real interviews.
Best combo used by most Hyderabad professionals in 2026:
- Tutorials Dojo (6 full exams) — do all of them
- Stephane Maarek (if you did his course) — do his practice exams
- Official AWS Practice Exam (1–2 attempts) — final check
3. Interpretation #3 — Free Online AWS Quiz Websites & Mobile Apps
These are quick, fun, bite-sized quizzes — good for revision or daily 10-minute practice.
| Platform / App | Free or Paid? | Number of questions | Best for | Realistic quality |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExamTopics (free version) | Free + premium | Thousands | Quick revision | Medium (some wrong answers) |
| AWS Quiz by Whizlabs (mobile app) | Free + in-app purchases | Hundreds | Daily practice | Medium–good |
| Sanfoundry AWS Quiz | Free | Thousands | Topic-wise quick tests | Medium |
| InterviewBit / GeeksforGeeks AWS Quiz | Free | Hundreds | Interview prep | Medium–good |
| AWS re:Post Community Quizzes | Free | Varies | Community-driven | Variable |
Best use: Use these for daily 10–15 minute revision — not as your main study source.

Closing Words from Your Teacher
Quizzes are not the goal — they are the mirror that shows you what you still don’t know.
The people who pass and get jobs are the ones who:
- Do at least 6 full-length practice exams
- Review every single wrong answer until they understand why
- Build 3–5 mini-projects so they can talk about real work
- Keep asking “Is this Well-Architected?” every time they design something
You’ve now seen the full map.
Go do the practice exams. Go break things in your free-tier account. Go build something small but real.
And when you pass — come back and tell me. I’ll be proud.
