1. Should be before 24 hours else you wont see a reschedule option (as of my knowledge)

2. If your WiFi is good and you are confident, use that. Test with the Exam ISO and do compatibility check to ensure this. (I had some issue during an exam as the terminal was super slow, so in the middle of exam, I plugged the LAN cable !!!, even I am using a 1GBPS broadband connection)

3. Try the mouse right click, and see what is the option available. as per my experience,

1. Copy: Control+Shift+C
2. Paste Control+Shift+V
   

hope this will help

Assuming no hardware issues, it is likely your ISO was corrupted. I would recommend re-downloading it and writing it into the USB stick again (preferably a new stick to rule out the problem with the old one).

Hi,

If there are any suspicion that the ISO was/is corrupted, then there is a simple verification check: calculate the sha256sum (or using the older, deprecated md5sum as indicated in the getting ready guide):

Look page 27:

How do I check the integrity of the remote exam live USB image I have
downloaded?
The MD5 checksum for the Live USB Image is: 0dd72ac558fc1afbf0c0e1fa4b366f10.

I have verified for you, at the time of writing the md5sum of the currently available iso found at "https://static.redhat.com/downloads/training-certification/rhrexboot.iso" (as indicated in the prep guide) is indeed: 0dd72ac558fc1afbf0c0e1fa4b366f10.

Hi, just wanted to check - can I use a headset for mic and audio?

The only other mic I have is built into the webcam, and it wasn't loud enough in the test.

Thanks.
