Hello @binyam 

I see you got answers already, and some small delays in releasing a particular exam made a small discrepancy with the "Ways to Test" page. 

I was not refering you to a paying way, I was talking about this:

That is an extract from the Red Hat exam scheduler tool:  once candidates have the exam entitlement, they are supposed to be able to choose how it will be delivered in a flexible way. That is rather new (less than a month old), that is why asking if you checked.

Hope that clarifies, and good luck with your exam in advance!

Hello 

I just found out about this today after I missed my exam. This link https://learn.redhat.com/t5/Certification-Resources/Getting-Ready-for-your-Red-Hat-Remote-Exam/ba-p/...

suppose to be  available on the time whenyou schedule or register for your remote exam.

I have no idea this is needed before the exam all i did is register and schedule . I was thinking it would be some thing through the browser like LPIC  cert not that you have to do all that to get to remote exam.

Why wouldnt they have some thing like this or email when schedule a remote exam sent about the exam preperation. ??  or through a reminder  or any thing.

Strange.

I've received an e-mail 3 or 4 days before exam with the reminder of exam and detailed description how to test RemoteExam environment.

Please check your spam folders - maybe e-mail was filtered?

Yes. The title of the email would have been "Your Red Hat Individual Exam Reservation Has Been Confirmed".

Best Regards,

Can I install a webcam driver software after booting from the USB ( based on the fedora iso image distributed)? 

[PiotrS]

As far as I know you can't modify Exam ISO and you have no access to OS of this environment. So the answer is - no you can't install.

Hi @binyam 

@PiotrS is correct, you can not modify the "Live Remote Exam Environment", so you can not install anything (except what could be asked in an exam instruction, for example some packages, and that is limited to some exam related virtual machines ...).

Hi @crixus1 ,

Candidates receive the information by email, after the purchasing process.

It contains a link with all the instructions.
