Thank you for taking the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate - Practice (Released February 2018) exam. Please examine the following information to determine which topics may require additional preparation.
Overall Score: 80%
Topic Level Scoring: 1.0 Design Resilient Architectures: 100% 2.0 Define Performant Architectures: 71% 3.0 Specify Secure Applications and Architectures: 66% 4.0 Design Cost-Optimized Architectures: 50% 5.0 Define Operationally-Excellent Architectures: 100%

I was a little concerned after the practice exam.   I spent the rest of the evening studying.    There various blogs which talk about the exam, but it seems depending on the day, exam, the location you could need anywhere from a 65% to a 72% to pass the exam.    Based on the practice I didn’t have a lot of room for error.
