Yesterday I PASSED the AWS Machine Learning Specialty certification!!! ????????’?? ?????? ?? ???????????????? ?????? ???????? ?? ???????? ???? ??????????!
750/1000 is a passing for this cert. I passed with a score of ~860/1000 after roughly 2 months of studying for 8-10 hours per week
?????? ?????????????????? ?? ????????:
1/ ???????????????? ?????????? - To validate my knowledge, I used hashtag#Skillbuilder by AWS (https://lnkd.in/eqgefjyf) and hashtag#TutorialsDojo Practice Exams by the LEGENDARY Jon Bonso (https://lnkd.in/e7ChTbSH). I can't advocate for the Tutorials Dojo practice exams enough. I was passing practice exams with ~70-75% before the real exam
2/ ???? ???????? ???????????? - If you're new to ML, you will need a comprehensive course. The best one out there, in my opinion, comes from Stéphane Maarek / Frank Kane. There are others out there. I'm sure they are good too. But I am a super-fan of Stephane and what he does with his Udemy content. (https://lnkd.in/ePYwCVZX)
3/ ?????????? ?????????????- I regularly used the PDF deck that came with the Udemy course, AND the Tutorials Dojo "Exam Guide". I found these all that I needed in terms of "note cards" and "study guides" for the exam. The Study Guide will direct you to additional AWS Skillbuilder trainings that I found very helpful while studying new services/concepts. (https://lnkd.in/ekdZsz5r)

4/ ???? ?????????????????? - This was my SECRET WEAPON. I ALWAYS had my Partyrock.aws AI assistant ready to answer questions, provide example code, and break down complex concepts. This was a massive help, and also forced me to develop the 'muscle memory' of going to my AI assistant when Im blocked. (https://lnkd.in/eB8KtV93)
5 / ???????????????? - I spent 1 month watching the Udemy training videos, familiarizing with data science concepts and getting hands on. I spent a 2nd month focusing on practice exams and review. Going into the exam, I felt like I would barely pass. So I was surprised that I passed with such a high margin
6 / ?????????????? ???????????????? - Overall, I feel like this exam marks the START of my AI and ML journey. I was able to cram a lot of knowledge in a short period of time, but I still need to get more hands-on practice in order to call myself an ML engineer.
That said - This was the PERFECT exam for someone who has a strong AWS background and wants to jump in headfirst and drink from the ML firehose!!

5 个月I passed the exam with just 2 weeks of studying and scored a 910! Your tips were definitely helpful. On top of that, I used?https://skillcertpro.com/product/aws-certified-machine-learning-specialty-practice-exam-questions/ mock exams, and let me tell you, they're practically the same as the real deal. If you're consistently scoring above 85% on their mocks, you're golden for the main exam too. I got nearly 80% from these sets.
