I cant wait anymore

Posted on the June 2nd, 2008 under Certification,Linux,My Life,Redhat,RHCE,RHCT,UNIX by akuadi

I really need go to RH133 Red Hat Linux System Administration and RHCT Exam. I’m planned to take it on 21-25 July or 18-21 August at Training Choice. But if I take the class in August I need to wait for another month coz the exam only will start on 19 Sept. No RHCT Exam on August.

Components of the RHCE and RHCT Exams

The RHCT exam is a subset of the RHCE exam, and is organized as follows:

• Troubleshooting and System Maintenance — 1 hour
• Installation and Configuration — 2 hours

In order to earn RHCT, one must successfully complete all the requirements in Troubleshooting and System Maintenance, and must achieve a score of 70 or higher on Installation and Configuration.

For RHCE exams given on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and higher, the exam is organized as follows:

• Troubleshooting and System Maintenance — 2.5 hours
• Installation and Configuration — 3.0 hours

In order to earn RHCE, one must successfully complete all the RHCT-level Troubleshooting and System Maintenance requirements, and successfully complete enough additional RHCE items to earn a score of 80 or higher overall on the section.
