Hello. I don't have an external webcam, I'm using the laptop integrated web cam. The test for the exam was ok. Do  I really need the external webcam?

Yes, absolutely.

"Webcam: One external webcam, even if your laptop has one built-in, with at least a 1m cable."

Hi,

how do I create/connect to the virtual machines in the exam? All this time I was practicing with VirtualBox on Windows since this is what was used in the course I was learning with.

There were no mentions about settign up VMs in the exam objectives (on the RedHat site)

Do I get different options of virtualization software to use during the exam? Or do I just get credentials to already set up VMs.

Testers are given the credentials to prebuilt VMs.

Hi Team!  I am taking a remote exam for the first time tomorrow.  I was very convinced the rhexam would fail, there are several moving parts, USB boot, USB hub, Camera, mic etc...  went great tho!  10 mins from boot to finishing the compatiblity test.  Your docs were very thorough and the whole process went great!

It even found my wireless nic, top of the list

Now, bring on the test!  :)

Hi @VladiPanian ,

just read the instructions and totally confused.

I'm sorry to hear about your confusion. Are you referring to the 'Getting Ready for remote exam' document? The instructions seem pretty straightforward to me, but do post your question here and either I or the community can try to help.

The certification team has chosen to deliver exams through a restricted OS after a lot of deliberation to protect the exam content. If you have suggestions, feel free to recommend them here.

showing the Exam was expaired so what to do now

Hi @ketan88 ,

Exam vouchers/eligibilities are usually valid for one year and need to be scheduled and taken before their expiration.
From the screenshot above, it looks like your exam voucher has already expired a couple of months ago. I can only ask you to contact the support team for assistance (I doubt an extension to the voucher will be provided but try your luck).
