AWS SSA-C03 exam

 October 16, 2025

Three years passed from the last AWS exam I took, and my AWS certifications were due for renewal. The first thing I checked was the exam code, which I had taken three years ago. It turns out that last time I took the SAA-C03, and this time I would also have taken the same exam. This time around, I considered doing the SAP-C02 instead, but, given the very limited time, I decided on the SAA-C03.

An aspect that surprised me was the number of AI-related questions. Last time, I had the impression there were very few AI-related questions, while this time they felt like a lot. I’m not sure whether they added questions to the SAA-C03 exam pool without changing the exam code, or if it was just my feeling, due to the higher sensitivity I now have to AI, which I didn’t have 3 years ago.

Overall, the exam was straightforward, even though I had no time to review the content beforehand, and I had a few degrees of fever.

Disclaimer: I have not personally paid for this exam since my current employer has covered the certification expenses.
