AWS Solutions Architect Practice Exams
Build a timed practice exam from 200 original SAA-C03 questions. Choose the length, difficulty, and domains, then review explanations and a score report that shows where to study next.
Before you start: These are original practice questions, not AWS exam items. The scaled score is an unofficial linear estimate on the 100–1,000 range. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing is saved, so print or save your score report before you close the page. For background on each topic, see the core notes and flashcards.

How these practice exams work
Each exam is drawn at random from the questions that match your settings. Questions are spread across the domains you select in proportion to the pool, so a 20-question exam mirrors the weight of each domain instead of clustering in one area. Every attempt draws a new set, and answer choices are shuffled unless you turn that option off.
- Choose your settings. Pick the domains and difficulty levels to include, the number of questions, and a time limit.
- Answer like the real exam. Move freely between questions, flag questions to revisit, and use the navigator to find anything you skipped. In Exam mode, the exam submits automatically when time runs out.
- Review your score report. See your overall score, results by domain, difficulty, and question type, the explanation for every question, and advice on which topics to study next.
The pool includes multiple-choice, multiple-response, and simple performance-based tasks such as matching a need to a service and putting account-setup steps in order. The real exam does not include a console simulation, and this page does not either.
Question pool by domain
The 200 questions follow the SAA-C03 domain weights, so practice time goes where the scored content is.
| Domain | Exam weight | Questions | Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.0 Design Secure Architectures | 30% | 60 | 16 / 28 / 16 |
| 2.0 Design Resilient Architectures | 26% | 52 | 14 / 24 / 14 |
| 3.0 Design High-Performing Architectures | 24% | 48 | 12 / 23 / 13 |
| 4.0 Design Cost-Optimized Architectures | 20% | 40 | 10 / 19 / 11 |
Difficulty levels: Beginner questions check a single fact, such as which service records API calls. Intermediate questions apply a concept to a short scenario. Advanced questions combine several facts, ask for the FIRST or BEST action, or are performance-based tasks.
How scoring works
- Multiple choice and multiple response: one point when every selected answer is correct and nothing extra is selected. There is no partial credit.
- Matching and ordering tasks: partial credit for each item placed correctly. AWS does not use these task types on SAA-C03. They are extra practice on this page.
- Unanswered questions score zero. The SAA-C03 exam guide says unanswered questions are incorrect and there is no penalty for guessing, so answer everything before time runs out.
- Estimated scaled score: your percentage converted linearly to the 100–1,000 scale and compared with the passing score of 720. AWS does not publish its conversion, so treat this only as a way to track your own progress.
In the score report, domains below 75% are marked as focus areas and ordered by impact: a low score in a heavily weighted domain comes first. Aim for 85% or higher across every domain before you book the real exam.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real AWS exam questions?
No. Every question is original and written from the public SAA-C03 exam guide. NodnWebTools does not use or distribute leaked exam content.
Does the estimated scaled score predict my real result?
No. AWS reports a scaled score from 100 to 1,000 with a passing score of 720, and it does not publish how raw scores convert. The estimate is a linear guide for your own attempts, not a prediction.
How many practice questions should I answer before booking the exam?
Aim for consistent scores of 85% or higher on mixed-difficulty, timed exams that cover every domain, then review every explanation, including for questions you answered correctly.
Are my answers saved or sent anywhere?
No. The exam runs entirely in your browser. Answers and results are not stored or sent, so they disappear when you close or reload the page. Print or save the score report if you want to keep it.
