Validates foundational knowledge of cloud concepts, core AWS services, security and compliance, and AWS pricing, billing and support.
CLF-C02 is 65 short multiple-choice and multiple-response questions in 90 minutes, mostly "which service or concept fits this need", with security and billing wording as the usual traps. We compared the main options on exam-style wording, question volume and price.
Most people should start with AWS's free 20-question set, use Tutorials Dojo as their main bank, and finish with AWS's Official Practice Exam. Add a Udemy set only if you want more volume.

Twenty questions written by AWS to show the exam's style, with feedback on every answer choice and links to study material. Retakes reuse the same questions in a different order.
Great fit if you want to see AWS's own question style before spending anything.
Poor fit if you need more than one short set; move on to Tutorials Dojo or the Official Practice Exam.
Seven timed exams with matching review-mode sets, four section tests and a randomised 65-question final test, all with explanations and reference links. Reviewers call the questions harder than the real exam.
Great fit if you want one main bank with domain-level drills and thorough explanations.
Poor fit if you want a scored, official-style rehearsal at the end; add the Official Practice Exam.
A 65-question, 90-minute exam with the real exam's length and scaled scoring, plus feedback on every answer. Retakes reuse the same questions in a different order, so save it for your final week.
Great fit if you want a timed, scored rehearsal built by AWS shortly before your exam.
Poor fit if you want a one-off purchase rather than a subscription.
Six 65-question exams written from scratch, with explanations and diagrams. Candidates describe the wording and distractors as trickier than the real exam, and many score lower here than on test day.
Great fit if you took Maarek's course or want extra full-length exams with harder wording.
Poor fit if you want section tests by domain; Tutorials Dojo has them.
Six timed exams with explanations, a score report and links to Neal Davis's training notes. Digital Cloud Training's own platform adds a final-exam simulator drawing on a pool of 500+ questions.
Great fit if you have finished another bank and want a different author's questions, or you study from Neal Davis's notes.
Poor fit if one paid bank is enough for you; Tutorials Dojo costs far less.
Eighteen quiz sets with 300+ questions, updated May 2026, sold alone or bundled with videos, hands-on labs and a sandbox. Candidate reviews of its question quality are mixed.
Great fit if you want practice questions and hands-on labs in one purchase.
Poor fit if questions are all you need; Tutorials Dojo is the stronger bank.

Yes. AWS gives away a 20-question Official Practice Question Set on Skill Builder (free account needed), and Digital Cloud Training offers five free sample questions plus a 20-question practice exam. The full-length Official Pretest and Official Practice Exam need a paid Skill Builder subscription.
Candidates most often say Maarek's exams and Tutorials Dojo's are harder than the real exam, with trickier wording and more distractors, and several passed after scoring lower than they hoped on Maarek's. AWS's own questions are written to match the real exam's style.
Two or three full-length exams on questions you have not seen, each followed by a full review, is enough for most candidates. Fill gaps with section tests rather than retaking a mock you remember.
Multiple choice (one correct answer from four) and multiple response (two or more correct answers from five or more). There are 65 questions in 90 minutes and 50 are scored, so a practice exam should use the same two formats.
