My exam is schedule at 20th july 2022. For internet network can I connect mobile internet with USB cable on laptop. Is it allowed in exam? My laptop is new and in that wifi option is not available.

As long as it is stable and fast enough, it can be definitely used.
I used an USB Modem in all of my 10+ remote exams.

FWIW I pulled a third copy of the ISO based on the "Getting ready for your Red Hat remote exam" doc (tr-remote-exams-preparation-ebook-f27382-202103-en_2.pdf) just in case and its sha256sum is the same. In a mad scientist moment I added the legacy boot flag to partition 1 and then 2, still no joy.

I have a ticket open now and when we get this resolved I'll loop back here and share how we resolved the issue in case anyone else bumps into it.

I got another quick question: can I acess gnu.org during the exam? I'm asking because even in --help or man pages the explanation of some command options is more compressed compared to gnu.org. I just want to clarify if it's allowed or not? Or maybe there is another allowed dedicated resource you can search for the needed info? Thanks.

You can only use what's in the test environment.  It's all in there, perhaps a bit terse at times, but it is in there. I suspect part of the reason, beyond exam integrity, is showing that we know how to use the tools in the OS.

Hello,

Few questions about the name on the Red Hat account vs. the Govt. issued IDs. My full name happen to be bit long so I always use just a part of it in most places possible.

Since there is an ID verification at the exam, I have updated my name on the Red Hat account to have the full name.

1. Exam scheduler Red Hat Exam Scheduler is still showing the short name. Does this mean I need to wait or get a support case logged to have it fixed before I can schedule an exam ?

2. Is it not possible anymore to use a "preferred name" instead of the actual full name on things like the certs?

[yajith]

Looks like name change is reflected on the exam scheduler automatically after a delay, I just needed to wait

Really wish I could get an answer to my issue before my test in the morning. When I boot to the live USB, all i get is an option to 'Try Fedora' and an option to 'Install to Hard Drive' neither one gets me to any live environment. Please help.

Which Fedora ISO are you referring to?

The Exam Fedora ISO will not ask you to choose like that.
