types of multiple choice questions on the examination. The traditional type has one correct response and three incorrect responses (distractors) . The second type has two correct responses out of a total of five options. Always choose the best response(s) . Incorrect responses will be plausible, and are designed to be attractive to candidates who do not know the correct response. Unanswered questions will be scored as incorrect; there is no penalty for guessing.  \nYour examination may include non-scored items that are placed on the test to gather statistical information. These items will not be identified on the form, and will not affect your score.  \nContent Outline  \nThis examination blueprint includes weighting, test objectives, and example content. Example topics and concepts are included to clarify the test objectives. They should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all of the content on this examination.  \nThe table below lists the main content domains and their weighting on the examination.  \n\n| Domain | % of Examination |\n| --- | --- |\n| Domain 1 : Design Resilient Architectures | 34% |\n| Domain 2: Define Performant Architectures | 24% |\n| Domain 3: Specify Secure Applications and Architectures | 26% |\n| Domain 4: Design Cost-Optimized Architectures | 10% |\n| Domain 5: Define Operationally-Excellent Architectures | 6% |\n| TOTAL | 100% |\n\nDomain 1: Design Resilient Architectures  \n1.1 Choose reliable/resilient Storage  \n1.2 Determine how","cbCaijE0nbOsc5oG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijE0nbOsc5oG","pdf",280260,"English","# Introduction\n# Recommended AWS Knowledge\n# Exam Preparation\n# Exam Content\n## Response Types\n## Content Outline\n## Main Content Domains and Weighting\n## Domain 1: Design Resilient Architectures\n## Domain 2: Define Performant Architectures\n## Domain 3: Specify Secure Applications and Architectures\n## Domain 4: Design Cost-Optimized Architectures\n## Domain 5: Define Operationally-Excellent Architectures\n# Exam Scoring and Results","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the SA1-C01 AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate exam blueprint?\",\"answer\":\"It describes the knowledge and skills required to demonstrate how to design distributed systems on AWS and explains the test objectives, weighting, and example content.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics are covered across the five exam content domains?\",\"answer\":\"The blueprint covers resilient architectures, performant architectures, secure applications and architectures, cost-optimized architectures, and operationally excellent architectures, each with specific sub-objectives.\"},{\"question\":\"How are multiple-choice questions scored, including non-scored items?\",\"answer\":\"The exam uses two multiple-choice response formats, and incorrect options are designed to be plausible.
