Step 1 of 2

Rate how each content domain went

Your AWS score report may include a table that shows how you did in each domain. Use it if you have one, or rate how each domain felt to you. So the priorities in your plan come from your own answers, not from an official score.

The 4 official content domains

Leave a content domain blank if you’re not sure. Blank ones keep their official share with a little extra time; the planner never guesses.

Cloud Concepts24% of the exam
Security and Compliance30% of the exam
Cloud Technology and Services34% of the exam
Billing, Pricing, and Support12% of the exam

Add your dates and the time you have

Used only to check the earliest retake date against the official waiting rule.

Wait 14 calendar days after a failed attempt; no limit on attempts, but each one costs the full fee. A passed exam cannot be retaken for two years unless a new version with a new exam guide and series code is released. After Testing

Your answers stay in this browser tab. Passy records only that a plan was built, never your ratings or dates.

How the plan sets your priorities

Your AWS score report may include a table that shows how you did in each domain. Use it if you have one, or rate how each domain felt to you. So the planner asks you instead: the content domains you mark as hard start your plan, mixed ones are strengthened, and confident ones get lighter review. Your answers are a self-assessment, not an official result.

Each content domain starts from its share of the exam in the official outline, multiplied by its priority: 3× to start, 2× to strengthen, 1.5× if you leave it blank, and 1× to maintain. A quarter of your time is mixed practice across all content domains. This is Passy’s planning method; it doesn’t estimate a score or a chance of passing.
