Total # of Questions

[JD88]

Hi, i wonder how many questions in total? From the time based or review mode based, looks like you have 65×2=130. But from the section based, the sum of all 5 sections is 14+22+30+14+30=110 (not 130). Thanks.

Hello Judy,

Thank you for your inquiry. To give more clarification, there’s a total of 140 unique questions (1 Diagnostic Test with 10 questions, 2 full sets of 65 questions each) in the AWS Certified Security Specialty Practice Exams 2020 and each question contains detailed explanations, references, and cheat sheets.

The premium version contains at least five training modes: (1) Timed Mode, (2) Review Mode, (3) Section-Based Tests, (4) Final Test, and (5) Bonus Flashcards.

The Timed Mode has 65 questions per set. It simulates the exam environment and trains your mind to answer questions under time pressure. The questions on the Timed Mode can also be found in Review Mode, Section-Based, and Final Tests. It’s just that the questions are presented differently in each mode.

Review Mode – allows you to view answers as you go through each question. There’s a fixed number of questions per set (65 questions for Security Specialty) and at every load, it randomly selects and generates a 30-item question set.

Section/Topic-Based – also allows you to view answers as you go through each question and each set contains questions only on a specific domain/topic. There’s also a fixed number of questions here (maximum of 30 questions) and each load of the tests, it just displays the same set of questions in random order.

Final Test – randomly pulls questions across all sets to gauge your final exam readiness.

If you want to go through all the questions, you need to take the exam in Timed Mode. The other training modes are just additional features to help reinforce the concepts learned. The key to passing the exam is understanding the concepts and explanations we gave in our practice exams.
