How CrushCert gets you exam-ready

WHAT SETS US APART

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 75% pass line so you know you're ready before exam day.

Sample AWS Solutions Architect Pro practice questions

Sample — Networking
Which service connects many VPCs and on-prem networks through a central hub?
A) VPC Peering
B) AWS Transit Gateway ✓
C) NAT Gateway
D) AWS Direct Connect

AWS Transit Gateway acts as a central hub to connect many VPCs and on-prem networks at scale. VPC Peering is point-to-point; Direct Connect is a dedicated link; NAT Gateway provides outbound internet. Every CrushCert question includes an explanation like this.

Sample — Migration Planning
Which migration strategy involves moving applications to the cloud without changes, then optimizing later?
A) Rehost (lift and shift) ✓
B) Replatform (lift and reshape)
C) Refactor (re-architect)
D) Retire

Rehosting (lift and shift) moves applications as-is to the cloud. It's the fastest migration strategy and works well as a first step before optimizing for the cloud.

Sample — Design for New Solutions
Which AWS service lets you run containerized workloads on serverless infrastructure without managing cluster capacity?
A) Amazon EKS on EC2
B) AWS Fargate ✓
C) AWS Batch
D) Amazon EC2

Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers (works with ECS and EKS). You define your container requirements and Fargate handles server provisioning and scaling.

Sample — Design for Organizational Complexity
Which AWS service provides a centralized way to manage accounts, apply guardrails, and set up landing zones?
A) AWS Service Catalog
B) AWS Config
C) AWS Organizations
D) AWS Control Tower ✓

AWS Control Tower automates the setup of a well-architected multi-account environment with guardrails, landing zones, and account governance based on AWS best practices.

Sample — Migration Planning
Which AWS service can orchestrate a complex migration involving multiple interdependent applications?
A) AWS Transfer Family
B) AWS Migration Hub ✓
C) AWS Application Migration Service
D) AWS Database Migration Service

AWS Migration Hub provides a single place to track the progress of application migrations across multiple AWS and partner migration tools.
