Hi, I have just taken exam 1A. Here are my comments and feelings as a result of this exam. I was not happy that it would take 6 to 12 weeks for my result to be made available to me by mail. One hopes that the result will be available more quickly on the web. It is possible to 'cheat' in a sense for some questions, because you can review your answers, and at least one of the questions' answer is obvious in another question. The question on how many time fields are available for crontab entries can be answered by referring to the other question that shows you a crontab entry or two ... :-) The same may be true of other questions. I felt that the exam was not easy. It was not impossible, but I felt that there were questions in there that required you know exactly what the options of various commands are ... Some of us simply do not carry that around in our heads and refer to the manual pages ... It is clear that someone cannot simply attend a week long course and then sit the exam, which was probably the intent. However, as someone who has designed a Linux course, and has probably taught Linux in Australia more times than anyone else, the test interest me :-) I will probably sit it again to see what the range of questions are the second time around, but I can already see what I need to make sure people who take my courses need to know to pass the test.
