I worked at AWS for 7 years and only got 1/20

That's almost impressive; you did 3x worse than random!

Edit: nope, I have no idea. I forgot the number of options and type of questions varies quite a bit.

I was the primary maintainer for one of the services they asked about, and I still got that question wrong. 4/20 for me, but three were lucky guesses

are you saying 420 is reason for not doing well?

They got 4 out of 20 correct on the quiz

420 is a meme name for weed

I think most of us get it, but those sorts of low quality/non-discussion comments are frowned upon at HN.

3/20 and two correct ones were guesses here; I was actually wondering what's wrong with me, asking "Dude, have you ever even seen the AWS console at this point?" (I have in fact stared at it way too much). Goes to show a lot of these icons just aren't very distinctive and don't seem to matter much.

3/20 by purely guessing, out of the big 3 cloud providers it's the only one I have no experience with.

Shockingly, one of those I got right was "select 4 out of 6".

I thought I did poorly with my 3/20 as an Associate Solutions Architect.
