A chief executive wants to make sure cloud spending speeds up the company's digital transformation and produces clear business outcomes. Which AWS CAF perspective focuses on this?
The Cloud Practitioner pass rate
AWS does not publish a pass rate for the Cloud Practitioner exam. What you can measure is your own readiness, domain by domain, against the passing standard AWS does publish.
| Exam | CLF-C02 |
|---|---|
| Questions | 65: 50 scored and 15 unscored, multiple choice or multiple response |
| Time | 90 minutes |
| Passing score | 700 on a scale of 100 to 1,000 |
| Official pass rate | Not published by AWS |
What AWS does publish
| Domain | Share of scored content |
|---|---|
| 1. Cloud Concepts | 24% |
| 2. Security and Compliance | 30% |
| 3. Cloud Technology and Services | 34% |
| 4. Billing, Pricing, and Support | 12% |
Your own odds
- Your share right in each domain, weighted like the exam, tells you more than any national figure.
- Fix the weakest heavy domain first: a gap in Technology costs nearly three times what a gap in Billing does.
- Sit a full 90-minute practice exam before you book, to test your pacing as well as your knowledge.
If you do not pass
You must wait 14 calendar days before you are eligible to retake. There is no limit on attempts, but each one costs the full registration fee.
