The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) is AWS's entry-level exam. It is written for people with up to six months of AWS exposure, including those from non-IT backgrounds such as sales, marketing, product and project management. You get 90 minutes for 65 questions, 50 of which are scored. The pass mark is 700 on a scale of 100 to 1,000. The exam splits into four domains: Security and Compliance (30%), Cloud Technology and Services (34%), Cloud Concepts (24%), and Billing, Pricing, and Support (12%). Because services and security together make up nearly two thirds of the scored content, memorising a list of AWS product names is not enough. Candidates lose marks by confusing which party owns a control under the shared responsibility model, by picking the wrong storage or database service for a described workload, and by mixing up pricing models such as On-Demand, Reserved and Spot. The exam also uses multiple response items, where two or more of five or more options are correct. Partial answers score nothing, so you need to practise picking the full set. This CertCrush course gives you a question bank weighted to the official domain percentages, flashcards for the services and terms that recur, and a plain-English study guide organised by domain. Every answer comes with an explanation of why the other options fail, so a wrong guess teaches you something. Coding, architecture design and troubleshooting are out of scope for this exam, and the course keeps to what AWS says is in scope.
Exam Domains Covered
Exam Format & Details
65 questions in 90 minutes: 50 scored and 15 unscored, which are not identified on the exam. Multiple choice and multiple response only. Scored 100 to 1,000 with a minimum passing score of 700. Unanswered questions count as wrong and there is no penalty for guessing. Exam fee is 100 USD, booked through AWS Training and Certification.
Why Practice Questions Matter
Cloud Practitioner questions are short, but the options are close. Two services can both sound right for a scenario, and only the details in the question separate them. Practice questions train you to spot those details before exam day. The explanations show why each wrong option fails, which is how you learn the boundary between similar services. Timed sets also build the pacing you need to get through 65 questions in 90 minutes, including multiple response items where you must select every correct option.
