A sample SAP question
One question written for this page, in the same style as the questions in the bank.
Security

Which approach meets the requirement with the LEAST ongoing administration?
- AAttach an IAM policy denying cloudtrail:StopLogging to every IAM user and role in every account.
- BApply a service control policy at the organization root that denies the CloudTrail write actions. — Correct answer
- CRun a scheduled Lambda function in each account that re-enables CloudTrail if it is stopped.

About the SAP exam
How many questions are on the SAP exam?
75 questions in 180 minutes. Only 65 of them affect your score; the other 10 are unscored questions AWS uses to trial new items, and you cannot tell which is which. ReadyForCert papers use the same 75-question, 180-minute format.
What score do I need to pass SAP?
AWS reports a scaled score from 100 to 1,000 and the minimum passing score is 750. The scale is not a straight percentage of questions answered correctly, but it is a higher bar than the Associate exams, which pass at 720.
Should I take SAA before SAP?
AWS removed the formal prerequisite, but the professional exam assumes the Associate material rather than retesting it. Most candidates who pass SAP have two or more years of hands-on AWS design experience.
Are these the real SAP exam questions?
No. These are practice questions written against the published exam guide. Real exam content is under NDA and AWS rotates its bank, so memorising a leaked dump is the fastest way to fail a refreshed exam. This bank is tagged to the exam-guide version its source material follows, which is older than the current one.
