| Examination Description RH - 302 |
| |
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.
The RHCE Exam consists of three sections:
Section I: Troubleshooting (2.5 hours)
Section II: Multiple Choice (1.0 hour), and
Section III: Installation and Configuration (2.5 hours)
In order to pass the Red Hat Certified Engineer exam on Red Hat Linux 9 you must meet the following requirements:
a) an average score of 80 or higher across all three sections, equally weighted;
b) no section score lower than 50 points;
c) 70 percent or more on the RHCT-level skills and 70 percent or more on the RHCE-level skills in Section III. This last requirement is new, and enables RHCEs to demonstrate that they possess both RHCT-level and RHCE-level skills, as well as enabling a person who only has RHCT level skills to earn RHCT if they pass the required competencies. |
