AWS LAGI. Scam or not?
Successfully, after graduating from the AWS Certified Developer certificate with 100 percent accuracy, several people asked me a few questions. As a very seductive person, I asked them where they have questions and why they think the answer is right or wrong. After a few days without question, 2 guys wrote to me. I won’t name them, but I was asked questions that seemed familiar to me from my exam. I automatically asked them where they had taken these questions from, and they replied that from the awslagi site. I thought awslagi, what kind of page is that? Since I’m really funny, I immediately visited the site and decided to write a review about the verified site.
It lured me to try this page to answer the question about that page to many people if they should buy this course or not. Therefore, I decided to buy the course AWS Certified Developer from where I received 1000 points because I can judge if the provided question is correct or incorrect. The payment has been made quite easily. I paid 22 dollars for the course. Within 5 minutes I received an email stating, that I had been assigned to the list of participants of google drive. When I opened the google drive link, I saw the questions and guaranteed answers to them. I mean the word guaranteed ironically. I wanted to print all the questions to go through all of them to find out if the answers are correct or not. Unfortunately, neither copy nor printing is allowed. Never mind.
Let’s move on to another thing. According to provided information on the webpage, the average score, if you learn all answers, is 96 percent. I was shocked by this value and I immediately started to work. During the reading of the first questions, it looked similar to the questions, which had been in the certification. I do not think they were word by word the same, but I will not put my hand in the fire for that. I did not learn the questions during my exam, but I answered the questions. After I went through the first 100 questions and made a review, I found out 25 questions with the wrong answer. However, this trend continued and after 350 questions I found 74 questions with an incorrectly marked answer. I am not some king of the world and so I checked each of the questions in official amazon documentation. Official documentation agreed with me. So, let’s assume it. If from 350 questions 75 questions had incorrect answers tell me how could be the average passing score 96 percent? A little bit strange isn’t it? I said never mind.
Two guys sent me messages about the page awslagi asking if they could rely on all the questions and answers. I wanted to make a good deed and I sent all the questions with wrong answers and the correct answers to those questions to the admin. Despite the question were mixed I had to write a list like this 55.B, 61.C, and so on. Admin said that all my provided questions will be reviewed by his “experts” and they will check the correctness of the questions. I said to myself all right. I saw on the webpage an event list when they made any edit of answer or g added the questions. After 2 days without any email received, I came back to google drive again and I saw changes of the first questions which I marked as incorrect. I said to myself, hmm maybe coincidence but after I went through all the questions which I sent, they had been edited to my answer. Hmmm. I do not care that they did not even say thank you, but I realized one fact. What is the average percent when you mark all the questions by provided answers if the 75 questions had an incorrect answer? 75 incorrect questions are about 21 percent of questions with an incorrect answer. It is truly unlikely you received all the incorrect questions, but the chance is still here. If we check the question globally the 21% of questions are incorrect, I highly doubt that the average score could be 96 percent.
My opinion on the current topic is as follows. A vision of a certificate is nice, and the word guaranteed success could sound pretty good, but do not waste your money on pages, which show you a beautiful number and guarantee you success. Desired success is possible to achieve only with hard work which will pay you back in the future. If you have any questions do not hesitate to enter to slack channel TechStudySlack where people are always ready to help you with the questions about certification or with AWS services. In case of any question do not hesitate to ask me below or contact me on LinkedIn where I have the same name and surname as on this page. Do not forget to follow and clap. I wish you a lot of success in studying for the certification exam and do it honestly.
