Hi Aravind, please find my answer inline

• How were the length of the questions and the answers wrt wording/verbiage? For example, lot of people taking SA-Pro exam seem to have commented that we see long stories in questions/answers and so more than technical knowledge, SA-Pro is more of comprehension, reading skills evaluation as well. Is security cert like SA-Pro in that sense? Or is it more like SA-Associate with more compact question and answer? Do we need to worry about time management in security cert (like SA-Pro where we need to budget 2 min per question) or is it more like SA-Associate where there is more than enough time to go through all questions and then have more time left at the end?

>> I would say at least 50% of the question is a scenario-based question which means it involves a lot of wordings.

• What score did you get in Security out of 1000?

>> I never worried about score :-)

• How many minutes did you have left at the end of the exam?

>> 30 minutes which I intentionally left to go through all the question one more time

• What was your strategy wrt multiple passes? e.g. did you skip long questions and come back to these once you had answered all the questions, or, did you answer each question one by one without skipping any?

>> That depend upon the type of question and type of aws service, for eg: there is some question related to Active Directory which I don’t believe is my strong area, so I skipped those question after skimming through it and picked it later.

• How many total questions did you get?

>> 65 question in 170minutes, roughly 2min and 30 sec per question
