Got a pass with 288/300 and reclaimed my RHCA as well

[Ravi_Shanker]

Today got the sweet result of all hard work. In my previous attempt had scored 204/300 and missed by 6 points was very disappointing and unbelievable. Closed the gaps and with this attempt renewed my RHCA which had expired on 7th July 2025.

Hope to keep my RHCA current for next 8 years at least but the caveat is (ROI) Return on Investment on time and money for these exams. My first RHCE in year 2002 on Red Hat Linux 7.2 had better returns on investment looking at my career graph then and now   

The results of your recent EX316 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Virtualization Exam are as below.

Exam domain number:    15
Passing score:          210
Your score:            288

Congratulations, Ravi! This is so inspiring. Coming back to smash the exam with a 288 after a near miss shows real character. Your long-term dedication since 2002 is incredible. A well-earned RHCA renewal!

@Ravi_Shanker -

Congratulations very exciting. Love the goal of staying current for the next 8 years. I've set some of those goals and wanted to become more certified while maintaining my RHCA, but instead, I'm going the opposite direction and getting less certified with time. I understand the struggle of remaining current and tracking expirations, so kudos on the renewal!!!
