Prepare An Office That Will Make You Work: 

A lot of people find work from home more stressful than actually going to the office. It might sound surprising, but the truth is that if you do not separate your living space and working space things get ugly pretty soon. Just because you are at home, never take your laptop and start working while you are in sweats or on your couch. The environment makes you more sluggish and works more tediously. 

Have a table, a comfortable chair, and let your family and friends know that you are at work. So, when you establish a routine, once you are done with your work, you can take out time and prepare for the exam. Since you have created a work-friendly environment, studying will come with ease and you will stick to your schedule. 

You Are The Boss, So Pick What You Want: 

Well, you might not be the boss at your workplace yet, but while you are picking an online course to prepare for the AWS certification, you can choose what you think works best for you. Find out what kind of courses worked best for you in the past. Do you like to learn the theory first and then jump into practical labs? Or, are you a more kinesthetic learner who learns while you get your hands dirty? The major benefit of having so many options to learn online is that you get to pick the one that calls out to you. Another major benefit is that you are the person that gets to rate you. Since you are the best judge of what and how much you know, you can always revisit the topics that you need support with. In case there is something basic that you have doubts about, you can pause the course and restart it once you have learned the essentials. This is the most flexible and easy way to work things out. 

I Wonder What The Online Exam Looks Like: 

Since not a lot of us have experience with taking exams online at home, this is a common question. It is actually a whole lot easier than you will ever guess. All you need is an online proctor who will monitor you while you take the exam. 

With these exam slots being there all through the day, you can choose the time that fits you best. You will need to log in 30 minutes before the exam to upload your selfie and your ID card for verification. Once this is done, the proctor will let you into the exam. 

Remember, there will be no breaks that you can take during the exam. Find yourself a calm and quiet place. This is important because if the proctor hears noises of any sort, there is a chance that you will be failed. 

After you enter the test, the proctor will want to see the place that you have chosen for the test to make sure there are no notes or books of any sort in your reach. You need to have your webcam and audio switched on during the test. The rest of the exam is no different from anything you might have taken all your life. 

SO, if you are looking to add some glamour to your resume, use your time wisely. Good luck!
