The boot will guide you into a couple of configuration prompts, then log in to the Red Hat site. Once that is done, you will be in a start screen where you first verify your equipment is ready to go. Once that is then, you will be ready to access the exam environment once link to use it is active.

I'd also suggest logging in beforehand because in my case I experienced an issue while testing my mic. Believe me, you don't want to encounter any serious hardware issues just before the exam starts...

Got a new question. This was not on my test, but rather in practice labs. Set account expiry date for 90 days from now. Seems to me you can use 'usermod -e date', but Red Hat labs indicate the use of 'chage -E date' instead. Both methods set the 'account expires' in chage -l to the requested date. My question: If I use usermod, but Red Hat wants chage, do I get the question wrong?

[Fran_Garcia]

Exams only care about the outcome, and are assessed automatically. Whether you use usermod, chage or edit stuff manually in  /etc/shadow, /etc/password it should not matter as long as the modification is done successfully.

Thanks for confirming that. I would hate to think I'm being graded on my process for getting to the desired result. After all, a reboot is a reboot is a reboot!

After it reaches 100% when loading into memory, it stays like this forever. Anyone knows the fix? Was told by support to visit an exam center as they don't know the solution

This is with the old ISO and secure boot disabled. I use AMD CPU and ASUS motherboard

[PetrCihlar]

It has nothing to do with Secure Boot. It is a compatibility issue often seen on AMD Ryzen CPU and some discrete Video cards, on newer chipsets.
Just like in the Wintel world. Windows 7 cannot be installed on brand new laptops and Windows 11 on some older ones. People use variety od computers of different type and age. Redhat is doing all they can to make the ISO most compatible. It will never be perfect. Cannot be. I believe the support for your hardware will be added in some future releases of the ISO. For now, the only way is using some older and mainstream type of computer or attending the exam center. You may please contact tech support and share your actual configuration with them. Thank you
