Hi, I need clarification on whether or not an audio output device is required to take the RHCSA (EX 200) exam. For example, during the compatibility test on the liveUSB after testing microphone input, you are asked to listen to playback of the recorded audio. If you are unable to hear the audio due to not having an audio output device are you still eligible to take the exam? If not are external devices such as a usb speaker permitted?

I was curious if there is a way to see the available dates for remote exams before purchasing them? If not, what has been the typical time as of now between purchasing and the first available time slot people have experienced for RHCSA exams?

I think there is no method to do that but typically, for all remote exams,
you can easily find exam time slots in the range between 25 hours and let's
say 32 hours or little more. You can also easily find time slots after 3 to
4 weeks, plus some random few time slots in between.

As long as it is stable and fast enough, it can be definitely used.
I used an USB Modem in all of my 10+ remote exams.

Guys, I have few questions:

1) Are the snacks (i.e. small crackers) and water allowed or it's up to the proctor to decide if I can have it or not?

2) Can I have 1 break or it's up to the proctor to decide if I can have it or not?

3) When using an external webcam, where should I place it? Above the monitor or near the monitor at some angle, so the proctor could see me, my table, keyboard, mouse and monitor?

4) Should I move the camera around the room, so the proctor could inspect the room?

5) In case of loss of power or internet connection the exam will be instantly considered as failed, right?

6) Not related to the online exam. Please tell if these 19 locations are the only locations in US where I can go and take RHCSA exam? https://rhtapps.redhat.com/individualexamscheduler/#/PublicLocations

Thank you!

  1. Yes, you are allowed to have snacks and water as long as the proctor is aware of them.
  2. Yes, at least one and the proctor will let you know when you can take them.
  3. Generally, far enough that the webcam shows your face, the keyboard, and your hands.
  4. The proctor will instruct you when to move the camera.
  5. No, but you won't get extra time to compensate for any loss of time.
  6. No answer on that, somebody official will probably need to answer that.
