EX280 Passed

Jump to solution

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.
Best Regards

Thanks for sharing the topics, i have also attempted first time but due to some network issue last exam got cancelled, these topics provide more insights and also Identity Providers and network security are little tricky topics for this exam, good preparation is needed for these before attempting the exam.

It seems that it didn't went through for different topics (don't take this as critic, I am only looking at the grade result which, regardless the RH exam, is - in general - only an evaluation of your performance, which doesn't mean that you are not good).

In the meanwhile I try to collect some insights about what is missing.

Let's see what is the support answer and keep us posted.

Hi,
got reply from redhat support


At your request, I manually reviewed your exam session results and confirmed their accuracy. During this review, I identified several configuration errors on your part, including:

- Omitted required configuration items in certain tasks
- Failure to apply tasks in subsequent exercises
- Functional test failures
- Expected output not achieved on few cases
- Incorrect settings provided for the applications

@fasilcv86 I think now you have ample informations on where it went wrong for you in the exam. Just to add my 2 cents to it - do what is asked in the question exactly including names, labels, output, resource values, items etc. Configuring a task and configuring a task according to the instructions and task at hand is two different things. I would strongly recommend you to revisit the course and labs and this time work on the shortcomings. The lab grading at the end of each chapter lab exercises are a good way to have an idea about how grading works. work on those labs independently without looking at the solutions and then check the grading. When we do the labs in order in the course and make ourselves habituated in the lab tasks - and then exam tasks which are random can sometimes surprise us - because we have support in the labs in the form of solutions and after we practice we kind of remember the commands and results but those are not available in the exams. I will suggest to work on random labs in the course and focus on concepts applied and the objectives of the lab. Remember that, failures are milestones in the path of success and learning. You will clear it in the next attempt.
