Just literally finished my exam a few minutes ago and just wanted to share my takeaways from the actual exam while it is still fresh in my mind.. I honestly found it difficult and tricky. Most of the time, it would come down to choosing between 2 options which most of the time I thought were pretty much acceptable solutions. I also thought a LOT of the exam focused on DBs, and STORAGE. So read up on Aurora, RDS, EBS, EFS, FSx, Snowball, S3 (lots of it), DynamoDB, and Storage Gateway. There was also a lot of focus on decoupling apps (SQS, SNS, Kinesis) and some questions tackled, AWS WAF, Shield, Global Accelerator, Route53, Cloudfront and your usual ASG, and ELB. The practice exams helped a lot in helping me have the needed composure (focus, process of elimination, not getting intimidated with lengthy problems, etc).
other services that came up were:
Transit Gateway, Nat Gateway, VPC Endpoints, Direct Link, STEP, Lambda.
Good Luck!
