Yes, all core features are free. Viewing questions, answering, reading explanations, and saving study history are all free. The service is funded by Google AdSense advertising revenue.
Do I need an account?
No account is required to answer questions. However, saving study history, domain-level accuracy analysis, bookmarks, and Smart Mode require a free account.

Question Quality & AI Generation
How are questions created?
AWS official exam guides and documentation are used as primary sources. Generative AI on Amazon Bedrock drafts questions, options, and explanations, which the operator then verifies for accuracy and alignment with the exam scope and edits before publishing. Content is continuously reviewed and improved based on user feedback after publication.
How accurate are the AI-generated questions?
Because the content is AI-generated, questions or explanations may occasionally contain errors, and the latest AWS updates may not always be reflected. Every question has a feedback feature (👍/👎) — please report anything you notice. Feedback is used to improve question quality.
Are these the same questions as the real AWS exam?
No, this service's questions differ from AWS's actual exam questions. They are original practice questions generated for learning purposes, and their format, difficulty, and trends may differ from the real exam. Please use this as a supplementary study tool.
What should I do if I find an error in an explanation?
Click the feedback button (👎) below the question and describe the error in the comment field, or contact us via the contact form. The information you provide helps improve the service.
Study Methods & Features
What is Smart Mode?
Smart Mode automatically detects domains with lower accuracy from your study history and prioritizes those questions, so you can more efficiently overcome your weak areas. It is available after creating an account.
Where can I check my study history?
You can check it from the "History" link in the header, or the "History" page shown after logging in. You can see accuracy by exam and domain, along with past answer records.
How do bookmarks work?
On the explanation screen shown after answering a question, click the bookmark button to bookmark that question. Bookmarked questions can be reviewed and retried anytime from the "Bookmarks" tab of your study history.
Which exam should I start with?
If you're completely new to AWS, we recommend CLF-C02 (Cloud Practitioner). If you already have general IT knowledge, starting with SAA-C03 (Solutions Architect Associate) is also effective. Professional and Specialty levels are typically attempted after earning the corresponding Associate certification.
What is a domain?
A domain is a category of exam topics. For example, SAA-C03 has four domains — "Design Secure Architectures," "Design Resilient Architectures," "Design High-Performing Architectures," and "Design Cost-Optimized Architectures" — each with a different weight. You can use the domain selector to focus practice on a specific area.
Account & Data
What are the benefits of creating an account?
Creating an account gives you: ① study history saved and reviewable, ② domain-level accuracy analysis, ③ bookmarks, and ④ Smart Mode (focused delivery on weak areas). You can sign up with just an email address and password.
How is my data protected?
Authentication uses AWS Cognito, and passwords are securely managed. Study history data is encrypted and stored on AWS. We never sell your data to third parties. See the Privacy Policy for details.
How do I delete my account?
After logging in, click the "Delete Account" button shown in the page footer at any time. Deleting your account permanently erases all associated data, including study history and feedback. This action cannot be undone.
Advertising
Why are ads shown?
This service is provided free of charge, and operating costs such as servers and API usage are covered by Google AdSense advertising revenue.
Can I customize or disable ads?
You can opt out of interest-based (personalized) ads via Google's ad settings page. Ads will still be shown after opting out, but they will no longer be based on your browsing history.
