Any idea if taking remote exams would be supported on bigger screens in the (near) future?
It seems the resolution is limited to some size.
On several occasions, having multiple applications side by side (the examquestion, the lab-settings, a terminal, provided documentation and a textpad) does not fit very well.
Scrolling and switching between apps is something you want to avoid as much as possible when taking a time-limited exam
Had an exam couple of months ago on a quad-hd 48inch wide monitor, but unfortunately the exam was only a little part of that.

Hi Ivan
FULL HD (1920 x 1080) is the max supported resolution. Do not start the exam on a display with higher resolution set, you would end up with small desktop framed with big black borders.
I am not aware there are plans to higher this limit. The reasons are two in my opinion.
1. Candidates should have at least similar conditions. Not all of them have have high-res big screens available.
2. Technical limitations with transferring, recording and proctoring of the exams

I downloaded the new iso to do my EX288 exam. Compatibility checked failed....not enough memory on computer, I had to reschedule and buy new computer. Word of advice -- please run compatibilty test way ahead of exam if you recently downloaded the new iso. 

[PetrCihlar]

Yes, unlike the olders ISOs, the new version requires 8GB RAM at least

Hi @PetrCihlar 

Is the old ISO still accepted? If yes, do you have a sense of until when?

My "exam" PC has only 4GiB of RAM and I have an exam scheduled in a couple of weeks

Hi,

When I am trying to download by using official link it is actually downlaoding from another link.

I tried this link :https://static.redhat.com/downloads/training-certification/rhrexboot.iso

But getting downloaded from this link : https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.redhat.com-training-certification/rhrexboot.iso

This is fine ? This image we can use ? Or this is an error??

Yes,the Amazon S3 URL is perfectly valid.
