I'd agree with that so far

So far it's very high level and "let's build a wordpress site in multiple AZs with an RDS instance and an ELB"

not "Ok - we have a site that gets millions of hits a day; currently uses 1 LB, 1 NFS shared file server and 3 web servers, and 1 dedicated DB server. Let's rip everything apart and move it to AWS with as close to 0 downtime as possible"

I just didn't want to go into this almost completely blind. The price of the exam is "negligible" (not to call $150 / exam insignificant - to some, I'm sure it's a lot) so... why not. I'll have a good base to start with when I finish and at least can speak to it where before, maybe I was speculating.
