Hello everyone, any update about the RHEL exam ISO?

Is it possible to connect the laptop that I'm going to use for the exam with a powerline adapter?

Hi @Monsieur_Samedi ,

Although a standard ethernet cable is recommended, I don't see any problems using a powerline adapter as long as the bandwidth requirements and network tests pass.

Does the RHCSA exam have the option of being done in Spanish or of translating the questions?

[vishals]

Hi @claudiodark ,

I just checked internally and the RHCSA exam is available in Spanish.
Once you access the exam, there is an option to change the exam tasks from the default English language to the available translations.

Hi,

I Have a Windows mini pc with 1 external web camera. Do I need to get another web camera or will that be enough?

[vishals]

Hi @Raghu_Tekumudi ,

You only need one external webcamera for the exam.

Hello,

One question about the environment. I`ve red that laptop (with lid closed) with external monitor is allowed, I know that.

I`m wondering is it allowed to have an exam in the office (alone) with multiple monitors which are powered off and not on the same table where I`m sitting, but distanced ~2m on the left or right ?

Thanks.

Hi @igmarkovic ,

Ideally, there should be no additional monitors nearby, and if present, the proctor will ensure they are disconnected (and moved/covered) before the start of the exam.

If you are taking the exam from an open office, Are you able to prevent other people from entering? Please note that your exam will be suspended whenever someone enters and time will be lost while you guide the other person out. (See the FAQ - https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/certification-remote-exams-FAQ)

Also, the firewalls in many office networks may hinder connection to the RedHat servers. Please ensure you run the compatibility test well in advance if you plan to appear from the office.

Best Regards,
