Realistic practice exam based on the most recent AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty exam.

• Just like the actual exam this practice test has

  • Test 1: 34 questions

  • Test 2: 65 questions and takes 170 minutes

    
    

• Questions are mapped based on the actual exam domains:

  • Data Engineering

  • Exploratory Data Analysis

  • Modeling

  • Machine Learning Implementation and Operations.

• Suggested background knowledge

  • Data Engineering

    • AWS services:

      • Glue, EMR ( Apache Spark, Hive metastore), Athena

      • Kinesis family (Streams, data analytics, firehose, video streams)

      • S3, QuickSight

      • Data/File formats (Avro, Parquet, CSV, protobuf recordIO)

  • Exploratory Data Analysis

    • Handling missing values (Imputation: median, mean, most frequent, using ML model)

    • Feature scaling
