About Solutions Architect
SAA-C03 weights Design Secure Architectures at 30%, Design Resilient Architectures at 26%, Design High-Performing Architectures at 24%, and Design Cost-Optimized Architectures at 20%. The exam is 65 questions in 130 minutes.
SAA-C03 is a design exam, and the practice questions follow its format: each one states a requirement and offers services that could plausibly serve it, and the wrong answers are real services doing the wrong job.
What you get
Complete current outline
Study 70 included lessons mapped to all 35 published topic headings across the four SAA-C03 domains, which the published outline weights 30/26/24/20.
Design decisions under constraint
Each question states a requirement, an availability target, a recovery objective, a latency budget or a cost ceiling, then offers real AWS services that could plausibly serve it. The wrong answers are real services doing the wrong job.
Original practice
Work through 175 original multiple-choice questions with worked explanations, 105 flashcards, 70 glossary entries and 16 optional scenario activities. Timed practice is an original 50-question, 100-minute session drawn in the published domain proportions.
Re-verification deadline
The catalog was verified on 29 August 2026 against the SAA-C03 outline published by AWS, and must be re-verified by 31 July 2027. On that date new purchases and current-alignment timed practice pause, existing purchasers keep the full catalog labeled as archived, and the free sampler stays available.
Core study works offline
Lessons, questions, flashcards, glossary and review tools ship inside the app and need no signal. App Store purchase and restore actions require a connection.
One-time unlock
A single non-consumable App Store purchase adds the paid catalog and the timed practice. There is no subscription and no app account, and the App Store shows the current localized price.

Common questions
What do I get before paying?
The free download includes a fixed sampler spanning all four domains: 12 lessons, 12 original questions, 12 flashcards and 4 scenario activities, plus the full 70-entry glossary. The selection does not change as the catalog changes. The one-time unlock adds the remaining lessons, questions and flashcards, the other 12 scenario activities, and the timed practice.
Which SAA-C03 outline does this cover, and for how long?
It covers the SAA-C03 outline published by AWS, verified on 29 August 2026 and due for re-verification by 31 July 2027. On that date new purchases and current-alignment timed practice pause until separately reviewed replacement content ships, and existing purchasers keep the full catalog labeled as archived. This app is an independent study aid, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by AWS. AWS and Amazon Web Services are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Is the timed practice an official SAA-C03 exam simulation?
No. It is an original study session of 50 questions in 100 minutes, drawn in the published 30/26/24/20 domain proportions. The real exam is 65 questions in 130 minutes, of which 50 are scored and 15 are unscored, and its passing score is 720 on a 100-1000 scale. This app does not reproduce official questions, calculate an official score, or predict readiness.
Are the scenario activities an official AWS exam format?
No. The categorizing, ordering and matching activities are optional study drills written for this app. The SAA-C03 exam uses multiple-choice questions.
Is it a subscription?
No. One non-consumable App Store purchase permanently unlocks the paid catalog. There is nothing recurring and nothing to cancel.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
There is no app account, sign-up, login or account-based sync, and no identifier of any kind. The bundled study content works offline; loading, buying and restoring the App Store unlock use Apple's App Store services and require a connection.
I paid and the app still shows the paywall.
Open Settings inside the app and tap Restore Purchases while online. That asks the App Store to re-check the entitlement, and it reports the success and the no-purchase outcome distinctly. If it stays locked, contact support with the app version, iOS version and exact error message; never send an Apple Account password or full payment details.
What data leaves my device?
None. The app has no networking code, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no third-party packages. Progress, bookmarks and notes are stored on the device and are never transmitted, and the App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. Apple's App Store services are involved only in loading, buying and restoring the unlock.
