ExamReady vs ExamTopics
Both are free, but quality matters more than quantity
Quick Answer
Choose ExamReady if: You want verified, high-quality questions with detailed explanations (500-600 words). Quality over quantity.
Choose ExamTopics if: You want maximum question volume (1000+) and don't mind community-sourced answers with varying accuracy.
Warning about ExamTopics: Many answers are disputed by the community. You must verify each answer yourself or risk learning incorrect information.

The ExamTopics Problem
While ExamTopics offers a massive volume of questions (1000+), there are serious quality concerns:
Conflicting Answers
The community often disagrees on correct answers. You'll see comments like "Answer is B, not C" with 50 upvotes, followed by "No, it's definitely C" with 45 upvotes.
Outdated Questions
Many questions reference deprecated AWS services or old certification versions. No systematic updates.
Poor Explanations
Most questions have no official explanation - just community comments that often contradict each other.
Legal Gray Area
ExamTopics appears to use "braindumps" - leaked exam questions. Using these may violate certification policies.
Bottom line: You can't trust ExamTopics answers without extensive verification. This defeats the purpose of practice tests.

What Students Who Switched Say
"I wasted 2 weeks on ExamTopics getting confused by conflicting answers. Switched to ExamReady and FINALLY understood the concepts. Passed AWS SAA with 840!"

- Rachel K., Cloud Architect
"The real-world examples in ExamReady helped me not just pass the exam (880/1000) but actually apply knowledge at work. ExamTopics doesn't do that."

My Honest Recommendation
Having used both platforms, here's my advice:
Best Approach
- Start with ExamReady (FREE): Learn concepts deeply with verified, detailed explanations
- Optional - Add ExamTopics: Only if you want extra volume practice, but VERIFY every answer yourself using AWS docs
- Never rely on ExamTopics alone: Too risky - you might learn wrong information
⚠️ Warning: If you use ExamTopics, treat it as "exposure to question formats" only. Never assume the voted answer is correct without checking official documentation.
