Hi @bardo,

EX407 will be available as a Remote Exam pretty soon.

Please refer to my comments at https://learn.redhat.com/t5/General/Questions-about-getting-ready-for-your-Red-Hat-remote-exam/m-p/1...

You should be able to see an option to cancel your existing schedule (or reschedule to a much farther date to avoid a no-show). Once RE option is released in about a week or so, you can switch it.

Regards,

Shefeeq

Do I need sound/speakers? I do have an external microphone/webcam combo, but I do not have speakers. Can the exam be fully completed and proctored using only the chat tool?

Hi @tomS1 ,

Speakers aren't needed for the exam and its only use would be to alert incoming messages from the proctor. (There is a visual notification alert on the chat tool/icon, which alerts messages either way). 
The microphone/webphone combo should work for the exam but please check if the microphone is detected on the RE image . (Boot to the RE image, go to settings > sound > select the input device)


Can the exam be fully completed and proctored using only the chat tool?

The proctor will communicate with a candidate, only via the chat tool and the exam will be proctored using the audio/video feeds from the microphone/webcam. So, you should be good to go as long as all other requirements here are met.

Hope this clarifies.

Best Regards

Hi @Sharma ,

Have you read the Getting Ready document, listing the requirements?

https://learn.redhat.com/t5/Certification-Resources/Getting-Ready-for-your-Red-Hat-Remote-Exam/ba-p/... 

FAQ:

https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/certification-remote-exams-FAQ 

 

Webcam: One external webcam with at least a 1m cable.

 

A DSLR would not be accepted by the proctor, it would be a smart device, explicitally forbidden (see FAQ).

Can I use my country national identity card to clarify my identity in the remote exam?.....(this national identity card is in my mother language not in English )...I don't have a driving license or a passport....Is their any alternative to clarify the identity except above method?

Hi @charith1994 ,

The scheduler application is smart enough to identify countries with a non-English ID and prompts to upload it while scheduling an exam.test.png












Our language experts will then validate your ID and approve it prior to the exam. The candidate will be required to produce the same pre-approved ID during the scheduled exam.

If your country uses a non-English ID and the scheduler application does not prompt for it, please write to the Certification team here.

4. Monitor - Dell 25" QHD monitor - no issues at all (exam workspace could be a little bit larger but I had no issues with terminal window/web browser)

How big is the exam workspace? Enough space for two or three teminal windows?

Hi @JZ2 ,

It's a Fedora 32 desktop, I think the max resolution is 1920*1080p (well probably it was like that due to my screen)... And it depends on your screen size, some people take the test on a 14" laptop...some take it on larger screen.

You can even use tabs for terminal windows, if required.
