1. Knowledge about RHCE certification exams

The new version of RHCE certification test is based on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Edition Linux 5). All the tests are for trial use (all on-board operations, without any written test content ). Time: Am-Am (2 and a half hours); PM-am (3 hours), in fact, the examiner with a red hat can choose the Test start time based on the actual situation, but they will guarantee the test time (2 and a half in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon ). The test room is not fixed, and each phase is not necessarily in the same place. Exam question count: 10 questions in the morning, divided into RHCT and RHCE parts in the afternoon, each part is about 8 questions, I can't remember the specifics, in the afternoon, the last three questions are three or two, that is, three questions. You can only do two questions. Of course, you 'd better do both. Pass requirements: you must get 80 points in the morning, that is, the first eight questions must be completely correct or reach 60 points. You can make the next two wrong questions to meet the 80 points required in the morning, the first four questions in the eight questions should be completed within one hour. Otherwise, the chance of obtaining the certificate will be lost, but you can take the test, but you will not be able to get the certificate. If it passes in the morning, the RHCT and RHCE parts in the afternoon require that each part reach 70% to get the RHCE certificate. If only the RHCT part reaches 70 points, you can only get the RHCT certificate (in fact, the RHCE certification exam includes the RHCT Certification Exam ). Learning fee: slightly (you can check it online ). Learning path: It is generally learned through a special RHCE training class, which is also recommended to beginners. Certification materials: the official English teaching materials are used in three editions: RH033 (basic), rh1_( system operation management), and RH253 (Network Service Management ).

Ii. RHCE Examination

Exam process:

On a Sunday that is not Sunday, I brought my ID card, pen, and paper. Five or six people are going to take the RHCE certification test. Before the test starts, the examiner will explain the test-related requirements, including the time of the test, and raise his hand to the examiner during the test. My younger brother spent all his tests in the morning. The first four questions should be completed within one hour. The most challenging thing is that when the time is almost one hour, one of my four questions cannot be completed. Finally, in the last one second, when the examiner was preparing to verify the first four questions, the younger brother finally completed. Finally, I am relieved that the following questions can be safely answered. At this time, there were only three people left in the first round, and the first four questions of the others had been closed (but they could also take the afternoon exam, but they could not get the certificate ). Among the three of us, except me, the two are prawn-level figures. Basically, the questions in the morning have been settled within one hour of the test. Next, I want to finish the four questions (I didn't plan to do the last two wrong questions, but I got 80 points in the morning, so I am not so nervous, but there is still a problem with the four questions (Note: You think the morning test is complete, you can raise your hand to the examiner at any time to stick to it, if there is a problem with the question, he will tell you). Later, he modified the question and asked the examiner to check again. OK. Then, the question passed in the morning. In retrospect, it was a shocking scene! It almost crashes in the morning.

In the afternoon, because of the passing of the morning, I was not so nervous in the afternoon, but I was very careful and serious about the problem, because the examiner did not need to perform the examination in the afternoon. Therefore, if you feel that you have done well, You can instruct the examiner to leave the test room. Because the younger brother's English is not very good, he looks at the question carefully and does every question. Without knowing it, the time is approaching. I just checked some questions, there is not enough time to check all the questions. In this way, my RHCE test is complete. At that time, I felt that the exam in the afternoon was good. When I leave, I need to take the bus and go to a couple of friends for damage.

Test experience:

In fact, the morning is very basic, so you don't have to be too nervous during the exam. Being nervous can only be counterproductive. In fact, it depends on what you think. If you think you have the ability, you can win all 10 questions. You can also choose to win the first 8 questions, or, if you have not answered any of the first eight questions correctly, you can only perform the following two wrong questions. Of course, this requires the examiner to install another wrong system. It should be noted that when you have a problem, you must raise your hand to the examiner. Don't wait until it is all too late. If your machine is really faulty, if it is not your mistake, the examiner will give you a reasonable arrangement. Therefore, you must ask the examiner if you have any questions during the morning exam.

In the afternoon, due to the large number of questions in the afternoon, do not waste too much time on one of your questions. You can do the following questions, that is to say, it is wise to first solve your questions and then solve those questions you don't know. Make sure that all your operations can still be implemented after the system is restarted. For example, some of your network services and firewalls. Therefore, if you have time, it is best to restart the machine after you finish the question, view these items, and test your services with the testing machine given during the examination.

During the morning and afternoon exams, questions are printed on paper and all are in English. Therefore, I suggest you carefully read the questions, each question must be completed according to the requirements of the question. This is important. (For example, iptables requirements and seLinux)
