Why am I failing my RHCSA V9 exam?

[Wael_Abdellatif]

 Hello Everyone, 

I have been retaking the EX200V9K (RHCSA) exam and I can't even reach the passing score. 

This is how my exam results looked like, and I do appreciate your thoughts on how to improve:

         OBJECTIVE: SCORE
         Manage basic networking: 100%
         Understand and use essential tools: 56%
         Operate running systems: 33%
         Configure local storage: 50%
         Create and configure file systems: 50%
         Deploy, configure and maintain systems: 88%
         Manage users and groups: 100%
         Manage security: 100%
         Manage containers: 67%

It has been like this for the many times I have retaken the exam. 

Appreciate your suggestions on how to increase the score of every objective.

Thanks,

Wow, I was able to complete all but one of the tasks and ensure they survived reboot, but I only got 71 points. The test is easy, but trying to figure out how to get the scoring script to acknowledge your work is impossible.

Same happned with me and got same score i.e. 71.

I found test very easy as well..

@irandom419 Did you figure out what went wrong. I am planning for my second attempt based on your Input.

*Red Hat EX200 Exam Pass Summary *

- *Exam Attempts*: 2 attempts, passed on the 2nd attempt
- *Gap Between Exams*: 15 days
- *1st Attempt*:
- Score: 71/300
- Confidence: 100% sure of answers, but score was very low
- Issue: Red Hat responded that one node (with 12-14 questions) didn't behave as expected
- Mistakes: Missed logging back into machine 1 after reboot
- *2nd Attempt*:
- Score: 286/300

- *Key Takeaways*:
- Ensure all machines are in a known good state before leaving the exam
- Log back into all machines after reboots to avoid penalties
- Strategic rebooting (only when necessary) can help

Hope this summary helps for future reference!
