Hi, I think speakers may not needed. Since all communication with proctor is done via live chat. When proctor sends you a message you will get a sound notification. I think this is the only purpose of the speakers. But microphone is needed. I used external Blue Yeti microphone since my PC doesn't have built-in mic. Mic is needed so proctor could hear what's going on in your room.

Hey FE thanks for the reply. I did not want to purchase any if they’re not needed. Thanks for the info.

You're welcome. It's easy - they give you new virtual rank or title based on the amount of messages including replies you leave here.

Good Afternoon,

I am schedualed to take the remote EX200k exam. It is my understanding that it is a 20 question test that is worth a total of 300 points. How many questions do you have to get correct out of the 20 to pass? 

[davman]

Not test questions, are practical exercises to pass 210 points over the 300 if i'm not wrong.

Hi @Uzoma ,

RedHat does not specify the weightage for each exam task and the weightage may not be equal for all tasks. You will need to score 210 (70%) out of 300 to earn the certification.

Good luck with your exam!

Best Regards,

Ok. Thank you!

I have an exam tomorrow, I found that I didn’t have enough USB ports to connect everything I needed to my laptop. Can I use a docking station that connects to a computer with type-c and has 6 USB ports and hdmi for connecting a monitor?

Another question, can i use wired mouse with the lid open? Setup: external camera, mouse, laptop. Or if i want to use external mouse the lid should be close so i need the external keyboard and the monitor as well?

Hi @Michael1 ,

Yes, A docking station can be used for the remote exam as long as only the essential devices are connected.
If you are using an external monitor, you will be required to close the laptop lid down and use a wired external keyboard and mouse.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

i will do the RHCE8 remote exam from Germany. . Can i switch to an "de_DE" keymap ? in the os on which run the exam ?  My laptop has a "German (QWERTZ) keyboard".  It would therefore be more pleasant if you could set it up on the host.
