The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam checks a broad understanding of the AWS Cloud, independent of job role: its value, the shared responsibility model, security, core services, and pricing and support. Our mock matches the real format: 65 questions in 90 minutes, in the official share for each domain. Studying Azure too? See our AZ-900 practice test; both exams are on the same pass.

Common questions
How many questions are on the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam?
65 questions in 90 minutes. 50 count toward your score and 15 are unscored questions AWS is trying out; you cannot tell which is which, so answer every one. Each question is multiple choice (one right answer of four) or multiple response (two or more right answers of five or more).
What score do you need to pass CLF-C02?
700 on a scaled score of 100–1,000. The scoring is compensatory, so a weak domain can be made up by a strong one. AWS does not publish how raw answers convert to the scale; our mock shows your points, a score for every domain and an estimated scaled score from a straight-line conversion.
Is CLF-C02 still the current version?
Yes. CLF-C02 is the current AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam, and AWS updated its exam guide to version 1.3 on October 29, 2026. AWS publishes guide updates about a month before they reach the exam. No CLF-C03 is announced (checked November 2026).
Which domain is the largest?
Cloud Technology and Services at 34%, then Security and Compliance at 30%, Cloud Concepts at 24% and Billing, Pricing, and Support at 12%.
How much does the exam cost, and what if I fail?
The exam costs 100 USD. If you fail, you wait 14 calendar days before retaking it. There is no limit on attempts, and each attempt costs the full fee.
Do I need technical experience?
No. AWS suggests up to six months of exposure to the AWS Cloud but does not require it, and designs the exam for people new to the cloud. Coding, architecture design, troubleshooting and implementation are out of scope.
Are these real AWS exam questions?
No. Every question here is original, written to the CLF-C02 exam guide and its in-scope services list. AWS treats real exam content as confidential and says using leaked exam items, even by accident, breaks its certification agreement.
How long is the certification valid?
Three years. You can renew by passing the latest Cloud Practitioner exam or an Associate- or Professional-level AWS exam.
