I just completed the certification. Its not that difficult. But you should have hands on experience on aws. I went for a course on udemy and that was quite useful for me. The curriculum is designed is such a way that you get exposure to almost each and every service that is important. You get familiar with aws.
I would seriously recommend everybody to go for this course.

I love this exam. It is a great brain tester and tests the nature of understanding we have with AWS. What is more exciting is the time in which we should answer intelligently. Good luck all. I had my chance !!
