How to work through the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate syllabus
The outline on this page is arranged the way the syllabus itself is: subject, then chapter, then topic, then sub-topic. That last level is what most study plans skip, and it is where coverage actually goes wrong — a chapter marked "done" often has three sub-topics inside it that were never touched.
Weight your plan accordingly: Application Integration, Analytics & Operational Excellence carries 17 topics while Databases carries 9. Giving both the same number of weeks is the most common planning mistake for AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate.
The ~90 hour estimate above is a first pass only: roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic. Revision cycles, past papers and mocks sit on top of that number.
