Failed RHCSA twice: it seems configuration not saved

I have been practicing redhat Linux in my virtual machine quite a lot and I am quite confident.

I felt really really bad to fail the exam twice.

It seems my node2 work was never saved in the previous exam and in this exam. 
Actually I have booted the node 2 twice and I definitely saw the storage related configuration was there. But I lost all the scores for this area. Last time, I got the reply that " one of your system did not reboot to a usable state and could not be graded"

I do not know what happened. It must be a very small, but extremely critical point I have missed. This never happen in my local virtual machine environment.

Can anybody help and give your hint?

Many thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Pls I need help!

I sat for my EX200 Red Hat v9 exam today and I failed. I discovered that my node 1 was not graded deu to lost of configuration after rebooted.

During the exam, I nocited that my network configurations used to change to initial IP address after I rebooted the node 1.

Can the IP address lack of persistence caused the configarations of node lost?

Pls how can i mitigate against this problem when am retaking the exam?

Thanks in anticipation for sharing your thourth.

I think it's very interesting to see that many people here are reporting that they scored exactly 200 points, with 17% in the "operate" category. It's very odd and it suggests that either you're all making the same mistakes, or there really is something wrong with the scoring scripts at Red Hat.

Like @Shert , who made a topic just today.

-> https://learn.redhat.com/t5/General/ex200-exam-failure/m-p/34136

 

But, comparing the scores from Shert and @cserban I do notice differences in the scoring percentages...

Hi again Tess,
to be precise I scored 25% on my first attempt and 17% on the second,
so my secondattempt was actually aligned with the one from @cserban

I appreciate your effort in traying to look at the issue with a neutral approach.

have a nice one

M.
