Practice Questions 1

A newly created AWS account has default settings only. The company is concerned about security of the root user. Secure the root user following best practices. What should be done?

Creating IAM users for daily admin tasks is correct, but “disable the root user” is not possible in AWS. The root user always exists and retains full privileges. Trap: It may look plausible because it mentions a related AWS feature, but the scenario is about root user security baseline.
This is the best-practice combination: use IAM users/roles for day-to-day administration and enable MFA on the root user. MFA significantly reduces the risk of account takeover if the root password is compromised.
Generating an access key for the root user and using it for daily tasks is explicitly discouraged by AWS. Root access keys provide long-lived programmatic access with unlimited permissions, increasing the likelihood and impact of credential leakage. Trap: It may look plausible because it mentions a related AWS feature, but the scenario is about root user security baseline.
Sharing root credentials for daily administration is a major security anti-pattern. It prevents accountability (no individual attribution in CloudTrail), increases the chance of accidental misuse, and expands the blast radius if the credentials are exposed. Trap: It may look plausible because it mentions a related AWS feature, but the scenario is about root user security baseline.

The app questions were harder than the actual exam, and a few of the same questions appeared.

Study period: 1 week

I focused on identifying the exact requirements, which was the most important skill, and made sure I fully understood 200 questions through detailed review notes. The real exam had much shorter prompts and felt similar or slightly easier. I expected to fail, so I was thrilled to pass. Thank you for the huge help!

Study period: 1 month

I do not know how many questions I solved in four days with the app, but after spending a month learning basic AWS concepts and drawing out practice scenarios, I passed. The exam was more confusing than expected, but the extra 30 minutes let me review the questions I had flagged.
