How many questions are on the AWS SAP-C02 exam?

The AWS SAP-C02 exam contains 75 questions to be completed in 180 minutes. Questions are significantly longer and more complex than Associate-level questions.

What is the passing score for the AWS SAP-C02?

The AWS Solutions Architect Professional exam requires a minimum score of 750 out of 1000 to pass.

Is the SAP-C02 much harder than the SAA-C03?

Yes — Professional-level questions are 2–3x longer with 5–10 competing requirements per question. Deep knowledge of 100+ AWS services and enterprise architectural patterns is expected.

Do I need the AWS Associate cert before taking the Professional?

No formal prerequisite is enforced, but AWS strongly recommends holding the Solutions Architect Associate (or equivalent experience) before attempting the Professional.
