I downloaded the .iso using Fedora Media Writer but when I select the USB to boot it goes into a command prompt and not the exam environment.

Looks like falling into the GRUB console. Type exit and hit enter, it helps sometimes. If you can finish the boooting and pass the compatibility test, you are ok. In other case, use a different computer. Regards

Please be more specific and precise when describing the issue.
1. Exam ISO cannot be downloaded using Fedora Media writer. FMW downloads only Fedora workstation ISO. EXAM ISO has to be downloaded using Browser
2. What do you mean by command prompt? Grub Terminal? You can post a photo here.

It is really not easy to help when you describe the issue so badly

Go back into Red Hat Exam Scheduler to take advantage of the retake. Exam should be unlocked if it's available.

Also you can email training@redhat.com for assistance.

Hello @maelamrani 

Yes, it is possible to use an external monitor with your laptop along with an external webcam.

For Red Hat remote exams, an external camera is necessary, even if your laptop has a built-in one. External cameras provide a broader view, enabling remote proctors to better observe your surroundings. They are also crucial for performing a complete 360-degree scan of your workspace. A webcam with about 1-meter cable length is required for this purpose.
