How CrushCert gets you exam-ready
Hands-on AWS labs
Build and match AWS architectures with drag-and-drop and work through real troubleshooting scenarios — so you learn the services by doing, not just memorizing.
Adaptive practice
The algorithm tracks every question you miss and serves more of those topics, so your weak areas get more reps and every session moves your score.
Realistic mock exams
Full-length, timed tests that mirror the real exam — countdown timer, question navigator, mark-for-review, and a 72% pass line so you know you're ready before exam day.

Sample AWS Developer Associate practice questions
AWS Lambda is serverless compute that runs your code on demand without managing servers. Every CrushCert question includes an explanation like this.
A DLQ captures events that failed all retry attempts during asynchronous invocation. You can configure an SQS queue or SNS topic as the DLQ to analyze and reprocess failures.
The direct upload limit for a zipped Lambda deployment package is 50 MB. For larger packages (up to 250 MB unzipped), you can upload to S3 first.
AWS CodeBuild is a fully managed continuous integration service that compiles source code, runs tests, and produces software packages ready to deploy.
Secrets Manager stores secrets and natively supports automatic rotation using Lambda rotation functions, including managed rotation for RDS.
