I took a few of these exams and I think if you can pass them you really know something about AWS.
But I don't like them. They are very broad and often ask quesions about legacy services. You don't need to know all the intrinsics of EC2/VPCs if all you use is Lambda.
If you want to get a good overview over AWS tech, take the associate exams.
If you want to learn every detail about AWS, take the speciality and professional exams.
But if you wanna build something good quickly, your time and money is better invested in courses focusing on specific problems or technologies.

Definitely found myself thinking, "ok, technically this is now correct but that's only been true for a few months; this question probably actually wants this other answer that used to be true."

I've been doing AWS for 13 years (which is basically $MAX years) and I definitely get tripped up on some of those questions, even though I know what they're asking about, because they use phrases directly from the documentation that I don't know.
