Week-by-week module breakdown

A 6-week CLF-C02 plan walks the 4 domains in syllabus order. Heavier domains get more time; lighter ones may pair with adjacent material on intensive paces. Review and mock phases follow the coverage modules.

Module 1 of 3
Week 1

Cloud Concepts + Security and Compliance

Cover Cloud Concepts (24%), Security and Compliance (30%) in this week — paired because their individual weights are light or the intensive pace requires combining adjacent syllabus sections. Read each objective, flashcard the key formulas, and run one quiz across the group before moving on.

Phase: Review
Weeks 4–5

Review

Weak-topic drilling. exclam.ai surfaces topics where you underperformed during coverage and re-quizzes them. Daily FSRS flashcard reps across all 4 topics to prevent decay. Start doing timed question batches focused on the heaviest-weight sections.

Phase: Mocks
Week 6

Mocks

Full-length CLF-C02 practice exams under timed conditions. Target one mock every 3–5 days. Same-day error review: for every question you miss, re-derive the solution from scratch. Taper in the final 3 days — light flashcards only.
