EX280 Passed

[rhnoname]

Dear Community,

I am so glad to share that today I (finally) cleared the EX280 on OCP v4.14 at my second attempt.

Lessons learned:

• Don't try this exam unless you are very confident and you have a lot of experience on OCP
• Study very well and storage assignments as well
• READ CAREFULLY TASK QUESTIONS
• Know OCP documentation and oc explain (it has been very useful to me)
• Questions can be tricky, pay attention to the small details. They are very important.

Awsome Ansible learning path !!

[rhnoname]

Yeah I totally agree. I have to refresh my skills pretty much like the old EX447.

Congratulation! I gave EX280 (ocp v4.6) two years ago and it seems that the essence is maintained.

I failed the EX280 4.14 exam for the third time, even though I was able to generate all the expected outputs, particularly for storage and network policies. I’m not sure what went wrong. I was very confident going into my third attempt.

Could you please advise on what I might be missing or how I can improve?

Ahhhhh.... !

I am so sorry about your result.

We all know that OCP exam is definetely challenging. In some cases it is really very hard, too.

However, regarding your exam, it is pretty weird but - you know - if you forgot some other detail, the risk is to literally "f**k up" the whole exam.

If you could share the percentage or the topic you failed, I can get some clues what you could have missed. (Even with a DM)

But first I would ask to RH support to perform a re-grade of your exam, if it is not too late. Sometimes happen that the grade script doesn't report the correct grade score. I personally never experienced this one but I've seen some people getting the right one and the exam cleared.

Let us know

Hi,

Yes, I have doubts about the script being mistaken. Even though I used the project template and tested it by creating a new project, the result is still ‘0’ (Enable developer self-service).

I have already reported this to Red Hat Support today (today I did exam)
