Question 1

What is the AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) exam?

Accepted Answer

CLF-C02 is the foundational AWS certification covering cloud concepts, security, AWS services, and billing. It validates a high-level understanding of AWS and is the starting point for most AWS certification paths.

Question 2

How much does the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam cost?

Accepted Answer

The CLF-C02 exam costs $100 USD. AWS occasionally offers 50% discount vouchers to people who have already passed other AWS exams or attended specific AWS events.

Question 3

What is the passing score for AWS Cloud Practitioner?

Accepted Answer

You need a scaled score of 700 out of 1000 to pass CLF-C02. The exam contains 65 questions and you have 90 minutes to complete it.

Question 4

How long should I study for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam?

Accepted Answer

Most candidates need 2 to 4 weeks of focused study. With CertForge's adaptive engine, the average time-to-readiness for active users is 18 days at roughly 45 minutes per day.

Question 5

Is CertForge free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the app is free to install. The free tier includes 100 starter practice questions plus 20 fresh questions every day you log in (one daily claim, resets at midnight local time). Unlocking the full 800+ question bank, the timed exam simulator, and advanced analytics costs $4.99 per month or $14.99 lifetime.

Question 6

Are CertForge questions similar to the real AWS exam?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every question is mapped to the official CLF-C02 exam guide and written in the same multiple-choice and multiple-response format used on the live exam. Domain weights also mirror the official blueprint.

Question 7

How is CertForge different from other AWS prep apps?

Accepted Answer

Most apps are static flashcards. CertForge tags every question by domain, subtopic, and concept, then routes new questions toward your weakest concepts. After every wrong answer you get a three-step explanation, and your live readiness score predicts whether you would pass right now.

Question 8

Does CertForge cover the latest CLF-C02 update?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The full question bank is built against the current CLF-C02 blueprint, including new services and the updated domain weights.

Question 9

Can I use CertForge offline?

Accepted Answer

Practice sessions you have already started will continue offline. Progress syncs the next time you connect, and the full mock exam simulator requires an internet connection.

Question 10

Is CertForge available on iOS?

Accepted Answer

CertForge is launching on Android first via Google Play. An iOS version is on the roadmap once the Android version is validated in production.
