I am going to sit for the RHEL 9 version of the ex294 exam soon. Does anyone have any general exam tips for the ex294? If anyone has sat for the RHEL 9 version, care to share (within bounds of the NDA) any insights?

    I’m not familiar with that exact exam. But mine had me write out man pages from memory.

        Red Hat exams since RHEL 6 have been completely practical in nature. You are given access to a virtual environment and a series of tasks to accomplish within that environment. You are free to accomplish the tasks however you see fit, so long as the required end state is achieved. This testing methodology is specifically why Red Hat exams are held in high regard by IT professionals.

        EX294 (RHCE) is heavily ansible-focused, as I’m sure you can surmise from looking at the test objectives. Know the structure of a playbook, yml syntax, basic scripting, and general RHEL network/OS administration concepts, as well as how to integrate all of these things to achieve a defined system state.

          -What does this have to do with OP saying part of the exam had him reciting a manpage effectively?

          Edit: I see so they shouldn’t be that way anymore since OP was doing RHEL 5 exams
