RHCE skills test online?

Hi there!

In 2 weeks time I'm going to take a RHCE exam. While understanding that it is a hands-on perfomance test (and I prepare myself on physical machines), I also would like to check myself ticking boxes on some web-based tests. I found some skill evaluation tests at Redhat itself, but, well, I've done them already.

It would be great, if you are aware such resources and can point me to them.

Hi,

i think this will be somewhat difficult, because Redhat does not use multitple choice, so there seems to be no interesst to create one.

I think you are on a good way going to prepare on physical/virtual machines. I used Jang's RHCE Linux study guide in conjunction with comprehensive wirk on dozens of machines, and i found the exam by itself not soo extremly difficult.

Good luck,

As you're already aware it's a lab exam not a return one, so I wouldn't recommend these sorts of tests. Just make sure you're happy with the syllabus as published, and you'll be fine. RHCE is very broad but pretty basic, with little depending on anything else for overall success.

Yes, Jang's RHCE Linux study guide seems to be the right thing, except that it is slightly outdated in terms of exam procedures - but this is just nitpicking. A modern volume by Asghar Ghori is much worse: you end up with other books or just googling and (ab)using maillists and forums
