Study strategy
How does the domain practice spaced repetition work?
For signed-in users, domain practice uses an adaptive algorithm based on your answer history. Questions you get wrong are weighted higher and appear more often. Questions you get right are weighted lower and appear less. Once you build a correct streak on a question, it enters an exclusion window and is hidden until enough time passes. Roughly 20% of each session is reserved for unseen questions so you keep covering new material. Guest sessions use random selection only.
Platform & certifications
What certifications does CloudCertPrep support?
CloudCertPrep currently supports AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) and AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01). Additional certifications, including AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03), are planned. The platform is multi-cert by design and new certifications can be added by the community.
Where can I report a wrong answer or bad question?
Open an issue on GitHub at https://github.com/nastaso/cloudcertprep/issues/new?template=report-question-error.yml. Each practice question shows a "Report on GitHub" link in its review footer that pre-fills the question ID, so the report is one click and a one-line description. Pull requests with corrections are welcome.
How can I contribute new questions or a new certification?
See CONTRIBUTING.md in the repository at https://github.com/nastaso/cloudcertprep. The question JSON schema is documented end-to-end. Pull requests adding questions, fixing existing ones, or proposing a new certification (use the issue template) are reviewed against the validator and merged when accurate. Contributors are credited in commit history.
