Tips for passing Red Hat Certification exams
kind regards,

Indeed it was helpful.
It takes a lot of time to pass the self check question 1 for me, though I can quickly give yes to question 2.
Thanks @Rudolf -- You say many of the same things I tell my students.
I love when I find things like this.
From the article:
"Aim to understand, not to memorize"... "Make sure you can do things, not just understand them".
The advice is golden. I am happy he wrote the article.
Hello,
Thanks @Rudolf for that great article !
Having taken more than 10 RH exams so far, I'd like to share my own unofficial tips Here they are.
Before the exam:
During the exam:
What about you ? What tip would you give to someone taking a Red Hat exam ?
Very importent tip:
1. Favour a classroom exam over an individual exam. You'll have a desktop computer instead of a laptop, which implies a higher screen resolution to arrange your workspace and a better sitting posture for your neck. Your local lab environment will be more responsive and with no reserved shortcut keys. Even better: you won't be interrupted for the random security check at some point during the exam, and you won't waste time for that security check. Additionnaly, you'll be handed out a worksheet.
Wow, those are all amazing tips. Thanks for sharing all that.
About keyboard layouts, I'm french, but I have been practicing hard on using US keyboards. It took a bit to adapt, but it's always better, and saves ton of time.
I forgot that one : master the vi text editor !
A few other command-line text editors may be available in Red Hat exams' labs, but some administration tools such as visudo, vipw or 'oc edit' open a vi editor by default.
Besides, editing with vi is much faster, once you've learnt key tricks such as copy/cut/paste lines, search (and replace), navigate to the top/bottom of the file and to the beginning/end of a line.
That is also going to be very useful for your career in general, not just for Red Hat exams.
