Appreciated your answer, now I am able to do the compatibility test. Thank you so much and have a great day

@Thyea You can download the exam image (ISO) and create the live USB anytime (even before scheduling the exam) and test your hardware setup for compatibility with the ISO. You can use the same live USB again on the day of the exam and boot from it and access your exam.

Also, the same live USB can be used anytime in the future to take up any Red Hat certification exams as long as there are no upgraded version of ISO is released. We just need to make sure we have the latest version of ISO available with us always.

For more information, current version of ISO is 202306 and you can download it from below link - https://red.ht/rhrex

I would like to be able to take the test from my car.  My home is rather busy (and sometimes loud) with 4 kids homeschooling.  In general, will it be acceptable to take the RHCSA exam while seated in my car?

Of course assuming I meet all the other requirements (bandwidth, no other people around, external web cam, etc).

I can ask the proctors personally But I think it depends... They would ask the windows not to be transparent, to start with

The windows are fairly heavily tinted.

I ended up clearing my home office desk.  Still need to put stuff away...

Just didn't want to add additional stress.  But had to kick the family out of the house (they had other plans mostly anyway).  Had some issues with the documentation being broken.  The proctor ended up giving me some extra time, but it really set me back in the beginning and there was no chance of coming back from it.  Gonna have to retest.

For others, if something doesn't work, request that the proctor fix it right away, or stop the clock (not sure if that is possible).  I spent 3.5 hours on the exam and I'm gonna have to retake it because I couldn't access parts of the exam because the documentation was not accessable.

Proctor was pretty nice, but as soon as I started asking for help he started asking for room scans which ended up taking forever.  This made no sense and caused additional delays and for my questions to be unanswered.  I eventually found a solution, but it caused delays.

The menu on the right in the docs was broken and pointing to external resources that were not available.  Basically, they pointed to Red Hat's online docs and not the local copy.  Eventually I figured out I could just scroll down, but it was a lot of scrolling and a major time suck.

[JustinR]

Maybe when I do the retake I'll try out of the car.

How can you make the terminal font size bigger during exam? 

Font size is hard to read and sometime text in terminal overlap so letters are unclear of what is in the terminal window

@RedhatChris72 as far as I can remember I did use the same as I use in my VMs - ctrl + shift + "+"
