1) What if I have to go to the bathroom? Is this allowed?

There is a break for every completed hour and each cannot exceed 10
minutes. Timer does not stop and a room scan should be performed after each
break.

2) I have Red Hat and other vendor stickers on my laptop. Is that allowed?

I have one sticker and did not cause an issue in all of my 10+ remote exams.

- break is allowed with the approval of exam proctor. But the timer will
not stop. Read the exam guide -
https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/remote-exams-preparation-ebook

- stickers and all doesn’t matter if they are on the backside of screen. If
those are on the main area (near keyboards) then not sure they will ask to
remove. Better check with the support team

Hi,

I have a Mac M1 and I can see that the ISO only supports MAC Intel based laptops.

I have a scheduled exam for this week and looking for confirmation if I can use the ISO for MAC M1 based laptops. 

Please confirm else I will have to cancel it

Hi there!

You need an Intel-based PC or MAC to use the ISO.

The ebook here shows you how to create a USB boot stick for your exam:

Hi, tomorrow I have scheduled an exam and now I am trying to test my environment, the laptop booted successfully from my USB drive and the redhat environment stuck to 100%. Do you have other links to download other version of redhat's OS?

[arbhati]

It takes time after 100% boot up. After this you will be asked to login into your RH account and test the system

[Stegarescu]

@arbhati usually how much time is taking? I have waited for 10 minutes and the login box didn't appeared

The ISO image provided to take the exam won't mount.  I've tried downloading it on two browsers.  Where can I find a working image?
