content(blog): P24 ESL +30 minutes draft (draft:true, do not merge)

[nastaso]

DRAFT ONLY

This is a new blog draft (draft: true). Publishing is owner-consent-gated (hard rule): do NOT merge, do NOT flip draft:false. The post is excluded from indexable output while draft.

• File: src/content/blog/aws-exam-extra-time-esl.md
• Slug: aws-exam-extra-time-esl
• Post: P24 "How to Get 30 Extra Minutes on Any AWS Exam (ESL +30)"

Corrected process (the main content point)

The post is written as the CORRECTED, accurate flow and explicitly debunks the common misconception. The ESL +30 minutes accommodation is:

• Requested ONCE, BEFORE registering for any exam, in the AWS training/Certification account: aws.training -> Certification -> Go to your Account -> Request Exam Accommodations -> Request Accommodation -> Accommodation Type dropdown -> ESL +30 MINUTES -> Create.
• Granted WITHOUT documentation (no proof of English level required).
• Auto-applies to ALL future English-delivered exam registrations with all test delivery providers, once granted.
• NOT "automatic at Pearson booking" and NOT selected per-exam at checkout. A "misconception vs real process" comparison table makes this explicit.

Citations used (N1, >=2 outbound authority links in body)

1. AWS "before-testing" exam accommodations policy: https://aws.amazon.com/certification/policies/before-testing/ (cited twice; source of the exact menu path, "requested once prior to registering", no-documentation, and "applies to all future exam registrations with all test delivery providers"). Verified via WebFetch 2026-07-04.
2. Official CLF-C02 exam guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-certification/latest/cloud-practitioner-02/cloud-practitioner-02.html (65 Q / 90 min).
3. Official AIF-C01 exam guide: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-certification/latest/ai-practitioner-01/ai-practitioner-01.html (65 Q / 90 min).

Owner-verify URL flags: None fabricated. The before-testing policy URL was fetched and confirmed to contain the ESL +30 language and the exact aws.training menu path, so no owner verification flag is required. All three URLs are official aws.amazon.com / docs.aws.amazon.com pages already in blog-sources.md or verified live this session.

OWNER marker

Exactly ONE first-person marker, placed where an optional ESL first-person line belongs (after the "Who qualifies" section):

<!-- OWNER (rule 2): optional first-person ESL line here -->

No first-person experience was written by the agent.

Verification results

• npm run build: GREEN. All guards passed (validate-blog-frontmatter, generate-seo-assets, validate-internal-links, check:citation, check:graph, check:person-graph, check:seo-head byte-identical, csp:hash, cf:headers). Build regenerations (functions/_csp.generated.js, public/sitemap.xml) were git restored; only the new markdown file is staged.
• validate-blog-frontmatter: PASS. Tags ['clf-c02', 'aif-c01', 'exam-format'] include recognized cert-code tags (exam logistics applies to both foundational exams). Title 53 chars, description 154 chars (both in range).
• npm run check (astro check + lint + unit tests): GREEN. Type-check clean, ESLint clean, 273/273 unit tests pass.
• Dash check: grep -nP '[\x{2013}\x{2014}]' on the post = EMPTY (no em/en-dashes). US English confirmed (no en-GB slips).
• e2e (PW_PORT=4410 PW_REUSE_SERVER=0 npm run e2e): 94 passed, 20 skipped, 14 failed. The 14 failures are the known env-gated seeded-session baseline (crash-safety, delete-modal-exit-signals x6, mock-exam-hardening, pending-attempt-owner-binding, ux-audit-seeded, weakest-domain-next-action x4); none relate to this markdown-only content change.

Structure notes

• Answer-first lede (N14): opens by stating the exact request path before any preamble.
• Number in title (T3): "30 Extra Minutes" / "ESL +30".
• Real <ol>/<table> structures (T1); descriptive internal-link anchors up to /aws/clf-c02, /aws/aif-c01, their practice exams, and the live aif-c01-vs-clf-c02 post (T2).
• faq frontmatter mirrored verbatim in a visible FAQ section.
