Contributing

Thanks for helping keep this CLF-C02 study repository accurate and useful.

What contributions are welcome

Good contributions include:

  • correcting stale AWS terminology
  • fixing broken official links
  • updating exam-scope changes
  • improving confusing explanations
  • adding original practice questions that map to public task statements
  • clarifying service comparisons
  • improving accessibility or navigation
  • improving exam-day guidance without exposing private candidate information

Source standard

For scope-sensitive changes, please cite an official AWS source whenever possible.

Preferred order:

  1. CLF-C02 Exam Guide
  2. Domain task statement page
  3. In-Scope / Out-of-Scope service page
  4. Current AWS service documentation
  5. AWS Skill Builder / Certification Prep

Community sources can support a study-strategy discussion, but should not override current AWS documentation.

Practice-question rules

Practice questions must be:

  • original
  • scenario-based where useful
  • clearly explained in the answer key
  • aligned to public AWS documentation

Do not submit:

  • exam dumps
  • recalled live-exam questions
  • leaked exam content
  • reconstructed live exam questions
  • screenshots or recordings from a live exam
  • material advertised as “real current exam questions”

Keep exam scope clean

AWS changes quickly. A service being modern or popular does not automatically make it CLF-C02 material.

If adding newer services such as Bedrock or AgentCore:

  • verify whether they are in the current CLF-C02 scope
  • otherwise label them supplemental / beyond CLF-C02

Keep examples generic

Do not add unnecessary personal information, employer-specific examples, private URLs, account identifiers, phone numbers, emails, or personal project names.

Prefer examples such as:

  • Project=WebApp
  • Department=Engineering
  • Environment=Production

Public-sharing safety checklist

Before committing anything copied from an exam booking, email, screenshot, terminal, cloud console, or personal note, check that it does not contain:

  • full names when they are not necessary
  • personal email addresses
  • phone numbers
  • home, work, school, hostel, or testing-location addresses
  • passport, national ID, driver's-license, or other identity-document numbers
  • photographs/scans of identity documents
  • candidate IDs, registration IDs, order numbers, appointment IDs, or voucher codes
  • Pearson VUE or other exam-launch links containing private tokens
  • QR codes, barcodes, or verification codes
  • score-report identifiers or private certification-account details
  • AWS account IDs
  • access keys, secret keys, session tokens, passwords, API keys, private keys, certificates, or connection strings
  • private repository, dashboard, console, storage, or signed URLs
  • employer-, school-, client-, or project-specific information that is unnecessary for the learning example
  • screenshots that may contain notifications, browser tabs, usernames, file paths, or metadata outside the intended content

If a personal experience is useful, keep only the learning value. Generalize the location, remove identifiers, and describe the event without exposing booking details.

Exam-experience contributions

Personal exam-day experiences are welcome when they help other candidates prepare. They should:

  • focus on setup, study strategy, accessibility, time management, or general proctoring lessons
  • clearly state that procedures can change
  • direct readers to current official instructions for authoritative rules
  • avoid publishing exact private appointment details
  • avoid sharing or reconstructing live exam questions

Before opening a change

Please check:

  • the official link still works
  • the service name is current
  • the change does not blur exam scope with broader AWS learning
  • no PII or private data is included
  • no credential, token, secret, or private key is included
  • no copied live-exam content is included
  • no TODO or unfinished placeholder remains

Thanks for helping learners study from current, trustworthy material.
