Exam format
The Red Hat Preliminary Exam in Red Hat
OpenStack Administration exam is a hands-on, practical exam that requires you to
undertake real-world tasks. Internet access is not provided during the exam, and
you will not be permitted to bring any hard copy or electronic documentation
into the exam. This prohibition includes notes, books, or any other materials.
For most exams, the documentation that ships with the product is available
during the exam.
Scores and reporting
Official scores for exams come
exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize
examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores
on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.
Exam results are reported as total scores. Red Hat does not report
performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon
request.
Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take just
the exam.
While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of your
preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous
experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of
success.
Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat
products are available. Red Hat does not endorse any of these materials as
preparation guides for exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading
helpful to deepen your understanding.
