From Overwhelmed to AWS Certified: Sarah's Success Story with PDF Insights
Meet Sarah, a cloud enthusiast who, like many of us, felt overwhelmed by the vast scope of the AWS Solutions Architect certification. With a full-time job as a systems administrator and limited study time, she needed a smarter way to prepare. Here's how PrepareBuddy's PDF Insights transformed her certification journey.
The Challenge: Finding Focus in AWS Complexity
Sarah's initial approach was familiar to many certification candidates:
"I was studying everything but I couldn't get my hands on things, spending hours on practice tests, but I felt like I was going in circles. Sure, I'd get a score at the end, but I had no idea what it really meant or where to focus next."
The Game-Changer: Discovering PDF Insights
Everything changed when Sarah started using PrepareBuddy's Custom Exams with PDF Insights. Let's follow her 8-week journey to success:
Week 1: The Initial Assessment
What Sarah Did:
- Took her first custom AWS practice exam
- Received her first detailed PDF Insights report
- Initial score: 65%
"The PDF report was eye-opening! Instead of just seeing my score, I could see exactly which AWS services I was struggling with. EC2 and IAM were strong, but my VPC and S3 knowledge needed serious work."
Week 2-3: Strategic Study Plan
How Sarah Used PDF Insights:
- Created focused study sessions based on the module breakdown
- Used time analytics to improve her pacing
- Built a question bank from her incorrect answers
"The time analysis showed I was spending too long on VPC questions. The PDF report broke down my timing per question type, so I could practice being more efficient."

Week 8: Final Preparation and Success
Sarah's final practice exam scores consistently stayed above 85%. The PDF Insights showed she had:
- Improved timing across all question types

"When I walked into the actual AWS exam, I felt completely prepared. I knew exactly what to expect and how to pace myself. I passed with a score of 890/1000!"
