Response Types
There are two types of questions on the examination:
 Multiple choice: Has one correct response and three incorrect responses
(distractors).
 Multiple response: Has two or more correct responses out of five or
more options.
Select one or more responses that best complete the statement or answer the question.
Distractors, or incorrect answers, are response options that an examinee with incom-
plete knowledge or skill would likely choose. However, they are generally plausible
responses that fit in the content area defined by the test objective.
Unanswered questions are scored as incorrect; there is no penalty for guessing.

Unscored Content
Your examination may include unscored items that are placed on the test to gather statis-
tical information. These items are not identified on the form and do not affect your score.

Exam Results
The AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate (SOA-C01) examination is a pass or
fail exam. The examination is scored against a minimum standard established by AWS
professionals who are guided by certification industry best practices and guidelines.
Your results for the examination are reported as a score from 100–1,000, with a minimum
passing score of 720. Your score shows how you performed on the examination as a whole
and whether or not you passed. Scaled scoring models are used to equate scores across
multiple exam forms that may have slightly different difficulty levels.
Your score report contains a table of classifications of your performance at each section
level. This information is designed to provide general feedback concerning your examina-
tion performance. The examination uses a
Compensatory scoring model, which means that you do not need to “pass” the individual
sections, only the overall examination? Each section of the examination has a specific
weighting, so some sections have more questions than others. The table contains general
information, highlighting your strengths and weaknesses. Exercise caution when inter-
preting section-level feedback.
