The latest rhrexboot.iso is not working for me. I am using same laptop last 3 years. What to do next? 

From where can I download older version of rhrexboot.iso  ?

Please try rebuilding the live USB by downloading the ISO again from the link http://red.ht/rhrex, burn it on to USB using Fedora Media Writer and boot from it and check. It seems to be working now

I am unable to write the remote exam ISO to USB through Fedora Media Writer. I tested it with another ISO and was able to write it. Apparently the ISO downloaded from the "Getting Ready for your Red Hat Remote Exam" document
is corrupted. What should I do?

Hi,

Fedora media writer has issues burning the latest iso. You can try with RUFUS app or DD utility to burn the iso to USB.

Hi,

Is it possible to use a headset with microphone in the exam if this is the only microphone?

Thanks!

[PetrCihlar]

I guess it must be possible. Just leave the headset on the desk, do not put it on your head. Than its gonna be accepted
Reminding, speakers are not needed for the exam, RH just need to "hear" your room.

RHCSA exam -  system surviving a reboot? What can I do to ensure that the terminals survive a reboot? This is the result of the exam.

At the end of the exam, before being graded, all candidate systems are rebooted.
Unfortunately, your's one of the systems did not reboot to a usable state and could not be graded.

You need to make sure all your configurations are correct. Once you are done with the exam you can reboot the exam vms and verify its status.

Exam creators, can you build a "self-check" capability into the exams?  Like those in the class labs "lab grade <module>" the exam grading scripts are too much of a black box.

Fully agree with this ... I find the question wording to be so succinct and ambiguous, and so open to (mis)interpretation.

It would be a real help to know for each task - "you got it", or "you didn't"
