I have made a lengthy unsuccessfull attempt to set up my laptop for an upcoming exam.
I was able to create the latest live boot USB based on the official guide here:
https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/remote-exams-preparation-ebook
After booting, the live ISO loads itself into memory successfully and a setup screen opens. At that point, the screen start to jitter / flicker at any change. (ex. mouse move). I have checked my bios settings and this did not help either. This renders Red Hat Remote Exam ISO unworkable.
I found people on this forum referencing: rhrexboot-2020-08.iso.
Booting the older ISO resulted in a blinking prompt. After a bit of debugging, I found out that the environment is hanging on “started gnome display manager”.
My hardware:
Dell Latitude 7420
Intel 11-th Gen i7-1185G7
Intel Iris Xe Graphics
@Deanna Is there a possibioity to release a fix for this issue?
ps. I have found some realated bug reports:

I had the same issue for the RHCSA EX200, booting the newst exam iso on my lenovo p50 i7-6820HQ with NVidia M100M, it continued flickering after reboot without the boot stick for more than 4 days and in BIOS it flickers too.
I made my Exam with a lenovo t430s i7 and onbord videocard, iso started and worked fine, but as i connected my Cherry USB keyboard and mouse with external HP Display, the tab - key for autocompletion wasn working (bash-complition was installed) the same with [^] - key. All works fine in the keytest at changing language and setting up keyboard on starting the Boot Iso. This were the reason i didn't pass the exam. It took much more time to list, search and remember all paths and names etc.. And the text Copy Paste didnt work in and between the machines too, just from Exam Questions to the machines.
