Getting Ready for your Red Hat Preliminary Exam

[PetrCihlar]

Unlike Certification exams (e.g. EX200, EX280), Preliminary exams (PE124, PE180) do not require downloading an ISO file, creating a bootable USB drive, and booting from it. Preliminary Exams can be taken directly from your Internet browser.

Learn more about Red Hat Preliminary Exams or see the attached Getting Started and Detailed manuals. Make sure to pass the Compatibility test (Google Chrome recommended) before you schedule your exam.

Hi Artem. I do not know what link it is. You may open a ticket for support. The email is in the Getting Started manual pdf.

Thanks @PetrCihlar. Here is the answer, I think. The exam is now simply unavailable...

Is there a alternate cost effective(Preliminary Exams) way tp get certified. Please advise.

@Moeins the preparation exam is a tool to help you get ready for the actual exam, but only the actual exam counts toward your certification or final result. For example PE180 used to be a prearation tool for EX280, PE124 a preparation tool for EX200.

Thanks for the prompt reply. If thats the case how do we prepare for the actual exam  Are there plans for new preliminary exams.
