RHCSA

[Chaima_KHABTHEN]

I am currently preparing for the RHCSA certification and am looking for advice on how to organize my study effectively. I have Sander Van Vugt's video courses and some practice tests to train with. My goal is to pass the exam within 3 months, and I wish to study independently without a formal instructor.

Do you have any suggestions or a revision method to follow to maximize my chances of success within this timeframe? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Best regards,

This will sound very simplified, but I KNOW the effectiveness:
Know how to PERFORM all of the exam objectives for the exam!!!

Don't study to pass the exam.  Study as though you're preparing
to perform in real world - where you're expected to be able to DO
something, inorder to get paid!

Make sure you can perform all activities without having to look 
through any notes or step-by-step exercises!!!

Finally, if you're anticipating attempting the exam within 3 months,
you'll want to have QUALITY study time 7 days each week!!!

The ball is in your court!

@Chaima_KHABTHEN Congratulations on starting your Linux certification journey! It's a great way to enhance your skills and open up new opportunities. I'm rooting for you!

@TrevorB has very succintly explained what needs to be done straight forward. If I have to add, I will recommend you to always keep the exam objectives  in mind and refer it to practice and learn for the exam. You can refer the man pages for commands to take help when required (including in the exam) and also visit the official documentation and familiarze yourself with it - it can come handy during exam as well.

Since you are preparing yourself - whatever practice you are doing you need to make sure that you are fulfilling the objective's task and your configuration is persistent.

Let us know if you need any help with any items in the objective!

@Chaima_KHABTHENHello!

I completed and enjoyed Sander's RHCSA video course myself. I found the printed text book for it VERY valuable as it had numerous exercises, labs, and several practice exams.

What worked for me is: I read the book and did all the exercises, labs, and practice exams. I then watched the video course, and did all the demonstrations and labs.
I learn best by repetition so, doing the items over and over really helped me learn the content.

Good luck and enjoy the course.
