Length of Course: 1 day - test

Overview:
The Certification Lab Exam is bundled with RH300, the RHCE Rapid Track course, but may be taken separately. Prospective enrollees in RH302 should consider taking one or more of Red Hat's RHCE courses in preparation for the exam, but these courses are not required. Candidates are also advised that real-world system administration experience is an important aspect of preparation for the exam, and that study without such experience is unlikely to result in success.

The certification exam consists of three parts conducted in a single day. Two of the three sections of the exam are performance-based, meaning that candidates must perform tasks on a live system, rather than answering questions about how one might perform those tasks.

Section I of the exam consists of four troubleshooting exercises, and lasts 2.5 hours. Section II consists of a one hour multiple choice test. Section III consists of a 2.5 hour installation and configuration exercise.

Each of the exam's three sections has a potential score of 100 points. Candidates must score an average of 80 across the equally-weighted scores of the three sections, and must not score below 50 on any one section. Candidates usually receive their exam results within three business days following the exam.

Audience:

• People who have taken the exam before but have not passed it
• People who have taken the Standard Track (i.e., RH033, RH133, RH253) as preparation for the exam
• People who have taken the RH301 Red Hat Linux Rapid Track course
• People who have taken the exam under an earlier version of Red Hat Linux, but are conversant in the current version and wish to update their certification
• People with extensive system administration experience on the current version of Red Hat Linux, or with extensive experience on a recent version who are also familiar with changes between that version and the current version who have prepared for the exam on their own
• Red Hat strongly recommends that experienced Unix system administrators new to Red Hat Linux take RH300, as it will provide the most direct migration of their existing skills and the most concise preparation for the exam.
