Free AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Practice Exam - 5 Real Questions, Instant Feedback, No Sign-Up
AWS Cloud Practitioner is the entry point to the entire AWS certification ladder, and it is as much a vocabulary exam as a technical one. The hard part is not depth - it is the sheer breadth of service names you have to recognise on sight before exam day. The five questions in this free preview are pulled from the same item pool as the paid AWS Cloud Practitioner mock. Each scores instantly. No credit card. No email required to start.
Why we give the first 5 AWS Cloud Practitioner questions away free
The AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam costs $100 USD. Most candidates spend another $100 to $400 on practice exams before they sit. That means the question candidates ask first is rarely "is this practice exam comprehensive?" - it's "is this practice exam any good?" You can't answer that from a marketing page. You can answer it by taking five real questions and watching how they're written.
That's why this page exists. The five questions in the free AWS Cloud Practitioner practice test below are not throwaway warm-ups. They are pulled from the same item pool as the paid AWS Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 practice exam. The grader, the explanations, and the question rendering are identical. If you don't like how the first five feel, you've lost six minutes - not the cost of a competing practice product.

Who the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner is for
The broadest AWS audience - not just engineers. Sales, project managers, finance, and leadership take CLF-C02 to speak cloud fluently. It is the most common first cloud certification and the standard on-ramp before SAA-C03. Most candidates take 20-40 hours over 2-4 weeks for total beginners; 10-15 hours for candidates with any cloud exposure.
AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam blueprint coverage in this practice test
The full FigigExams AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exam mirrors the official blueprint weights so your score gives a realistic readiness signal. The five free questions in this preview rotate across the blueprint so you see questions from every part of it, not just one.
| Domain | Weight | Key concepts you will see |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud Concepts | 24% | Benefits of the AWS Cloud, cloud economics (CapEx vs OpEx), the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF), the six Well-Architected Framework pillars, and core design principles. |
| Security and Compliance | 30% | The AWS shared responsibility model, IAM (users, groups, roles, MFA), security services (Shield, WAF, GuardDuty, Inspector), encryption with KMS, and compliance resources (AWS Artifact). |
| Cloud Technology and Services | 34% | Compute (EC2, Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk), storage (S3, EBS, EFS), databases (RDS, DynamoDB), networking (VPC, Route 53, CloudFront), and global infrastructure (Regions, Availability Zones, edge locations). |
| Billing, Pricing, and Support | 12% | Pricing models (On-Demand, Reserved, Spot, Savings Plans), billing tools (Cost Explorer, Budgets, Billing dashboard), consolidated billing with AWS Organizations, and the AWS support plan tiers. |
The full mock has 65 questions calibrated to the live exam difficulty profile, with a passing benchmark of 70% to give you a conservative readiness target.
The AWS Cloud Practitioner question formats we mirror
One of the most common reasons candidates fail on the first attempt is unfamiliarity with the exam's specific question formats. This free preview exposes you to every format the live exam uses, so nothing on test day is a surprise.
Single-answer multiple choice (dominant)
The bulk of the exam. Questions are short - often one or two sentences - and test recognition: which service does X, which pillar covers Y. Overthinking is the main trap; the correct answer is usually the obvious one.
Multi-response (select TWO)
A minority of items ask you to select two correct answers. No partial credit. Read the answer-count specifier before you commit.
No scenarios, no exhibits, no labs
Unlike SAA-C03, CLF-C02 has no long architecture scenarios and no performance-based questions. If a study resource is drowning you in 120-word scenarios, it is over-preparing you for this exam.
Definition and "which service" recall
A large share of points come from matching a one-line description to the correct AWS service. Flashcard-style recall of the core service catalogue is the single highest-ROI study activity.
Free AWS Cloud Practitioner trial vs full FigigExams mock vs Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams
If you're shopping for AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exams, you've probably already opened a tab for Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams. Tutorials Dojo is the most-recommended paid practice product for CLF-C02, and its explanations double as a mini study guide. If you can spend $15, their set is the safest single purchase. Here's an honest side-by-side so you can pick the right tool for where you are in your prep.
| Feature | FigigExams AWS Cloud Practitioner | Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 trial, $18 for full mock | $10-15 per Tutorials Dojo set |
| Aligned to CLF-C02 | Yes | Yes (their flagship product) |
| Question style | Matches live exam (short recall items) | Matches live exam |
| Number of practice exams | 4 versions, 65 questions each | 6+ timed sets plus review mode |
| Concept-level Exam Coach | Yes | No (per-question explanations only) |
| Lifetime access | Yes | Yes (Udemy lifetime) |
The honest answer: if your budget allows it, candidates often use both - FigigExams to find your weak concepts cheaply, then a final readiness pass with Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams if you want the industry-standard item bank. For most candidates, just FigigExams plus the official study guide is sufficient.
The Personal Exam Coach (after you finish the full AWS Cloud Practitioner exam)
Most AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exams give you a score and a domain breakdown - "you scored 48% on Domain 3" - and call that a result page. That's not actionable. Each domain has many topics. You need to know which topic specifically.
When you finish the full 65-question AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exam (not the 5-question free preview), the FigigExams Personal Exam Coach analyses your answers at the concept level:
- Concept-level miss patterns instead of broad domain percentages.
- A prioritised study plan ordered by estimated score impact.
- A pass-confidence score based on item difficulty and your error pattern - a real readiness number, not vibes.
- A follow-up chat where you can ask things like "explain why option C was wrong on question 23" and get a tailored answer.
It's the part of FigigExams that passing candidates mention most.
AWS Cloud Practitioner exam day tips that actually move your score
- Build a one-page service cheat sheet grouped by category (compute, storage, database, networking, security) and drill it until you can name each service from its one-line description.
- Memorize the shared responsibility model split cold - "of the cloud" (AWS) vs "in the cloud" (you). At least a couple of questions hinge on it every exam.
- Know the four support plans (Basic, Developer, Business, Enterprise) and the one differentiator that separates each tier - it is reliable points in the Billing domain.
- Do not over-study. Candidates routinely burn weeks preparing for CLF-C02 as if it were SAA. If you are scoring 85%+ on full-length practice mocks, book the exam.
- Spend one hour in the AWS Free Tier console before exam day. Launching one EC2 instance and one S3 bucket cements more service names than an afternoon of reading.
Free AWS Cloud Practitioner Practice Exam - Frequently Asked Questions
Is this AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exam really free?
Yes. Five real AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner questions, instant scoring, no credit card, no email required to start. You only create an account if you decide to unlock the full 65-question paid mock after.
How many free AWS Cloud Practitioner practice questions can I take?
Five on this trial page. You can refresh the trial as many times as you like - each session reshuffles the answer order. To get a larger question set, take the full 65-question paid exam, which draws from a much larger item pool.
Are these questions the same difficulty as the real AWS Cloud Practitioner exam?
The questions are written to match the cognitive level of the live AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam. The average item is calibrated slightly above the live exam mean - so a 75% on our practice exam typically corresponds to a comfortable pass on the real exam, not a marginal one.
How is CLF-C02 different from the older CLF-C01?
CLF-C02 has been the only version since September 2023. It refreshed the service catalogue (more coverage of newer services and the Well-Architected pillars) and rebalanced the domains, with Cloud Technology and Services now the largest at 34%. CLF-C01 material is mostly still conceptually valid but references a stale service list - prefer CLF-C02-specific practice.
Do I need hands-on AWS experience to pass Cloud Practitioner?
No. CLF-C02 is designed to be passable from study alone, which is why non-technical roles take it. That said, an hour in the free-tier console launching an EC2 instance and creating an S3 bucket makes the service names stick far faster than reading alone.
Should I take Cloud Practitioner or go straight to Solutions Architect?
If you have less than six months of AWS exposure or you are non-technical, take CLF-C02 first - it builds the vocabulary SAA assumes. If you already have a year of hands-on AWS work, skip CLF and save the $100 by going straight to SAA-C03.
How long is the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification valid?
Three years. You renew by passing the current CLF exam again, or automatically by earning any higher AWS certification (such as SAA-C03), which extends all lower-level certs you hold.
Is AWS Cloud Practitioner worth it in 2026?
For career switchers, non-technical staff at cloud-adopting companies, and anyone testing whether a cloud path suits them, yes - it is inexpensive, fast to earn, and a recognised resume signal. For experienced engineers it carries little weight on its own; treat it as a stepping stone to SAA rather than a destination.
How is FigigExams different from Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams?
Two practical differences: price ($18 per exam vs $10-15 per exam set (Udemy or direct) for Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams) and the Personal Exam Coach - concept-level diagnosis with a follow-up chat that no major competing AWS Cloud Practitioner practice tool currently offers. Tutorials Dojo (Jon Bonso) CLF-C02 practice exams remains a strong choice if you want the industry-standard item bank.
What does the full AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exam cost?
$18 per exam. That includes lifetime access to the 65-question mock, full per-question explanations, the Personal Exam Coach analysis, and the follow-up Coach chat.
Will this AWS Cloud Practitioner practice exam work on my phone?
Yes. The exam UI is fully responsive. All interactive question formats also support tap-to-place on touch devices, so phone and tablet candidates get the same experience as desktop.
Do you offer practice exams for other certifications?
Yes. Browse all FigigExams practice exams for the full list - including CCNA, CompTIA Security+, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, CISSP, PMP, and CompTIA A+ Core 1.
