Failed a Linux exam. Scored 35%.

Hmmm I don't understand what you are saying you bro :feelssus:
 
Sat an exam to test Linux skills and failed with a 35% score. 70%+ was the pass mark.
Shit, my condolances. Try harder next time and you'll pass bro.
 
I failed the resit with 55% this time.
 
Sudo format all
 
Tomorrow is my 3rd attempt at the exam.

First time I've read about that option.

I took a large (almost size of a single bed) map of the world, flipped it to the blank page and made a massive poster of all the exam topics and main commands.

anyway terminal commands is just entry level fuckery, the real shit begins with things like systemd, pam, networking etc

True, true and containers, SELinux, autofs, firewalls. I should be studying but I'm browsing .is instead.

yeah, terminal is literally like 5% of everything you will have to learn in order to manage real-world linux systems. I could never get into it, too much new stuff to learn
 
Another failure. This time 65%. Pass mark is 70%.
 
Better luck next time bro.
Thank you. I did a remote exam this time ( to save travel money) on a 14" laptop. The OS loaded in a browser window and the font type was tiny I could hardly read it. Ctrl++ worked for web pages but not for the console or terminal. Nothing ever goes easy or straight. Online proctor was no help at all I'm getting fed up. Next attempt will be the 4th.
 
it reminded me of when I failed the linux course but there was a retake and I passed it.
 
Was it open book? It should be, since Linux is open source.

No, it's very strict. Just /usr/share/doc and the man pages allowed. They monitor with two cameras and they say they use AI to track eye movements for cheating. I've got to run a camera over the walls, ceiling and under the desk and cover up any screens other than that for the exam with a sheet. They check hands, forearms. Not even a bit of paper and pen to make notes.

It's the RHCSA exam by Red Hat. I might have passed on the third attempt but took the exam remotely on a 14" laptop and the font was tiny, could hardly read it. I was told by the proctor to use Ctrl++ to increase font size but it didn't work. It's Ctrl+Shift++ I've since learnt and I'm taking the exam using a cheap 19" monitor I bought from a second hand shop so I'm hoping I'll be able to read the screen this time.

The thing is that I've had to teach myself how to learn and that's been the most useful lesson.
 
4th attempt and failed again with 65% same as last time.
 
What's the endgame?

Syseng? Regular job?
 
I might do and I would run it on a laptop like this, open hardware, they are made for each other:

I'm only sticking with Red Hat Enterprise Linux because most jobs ask for it.


Looks like a cool machine. I'm just put off by the price. I feel that I want my computers, especially the ones I bring outside of my house, to be somewhat disposable and replaceable. That's why I run a cheap thinkpad. I wouldn't compromise my freedom on cherishing a physical object because then that object would control me.

Tomorrow is my 5th attempt.

I think I know why I'm failing. YouTube, TV Shows, Movies and the Internet is making me stupid.
Are the attempts identical in questions?

Many of the questions are but I can't get the answers right. I think the problem is the Internet. It's making me unable to focus and just lowering my low IQ even further.

I'm trying for the Red Hat System Administration v9 exam. There are two course PDF's, total 1,000 pages. 3 hour exam and every minute counts.

I have Linux work experience, studied the course material but still can't pass the exam.
