Linux Essentials Exam

Just wondering if anyone has taken the Linux Essentials exam? I stepped away from Linux for a few years and thought it would be a good refresher. I've read the Linux Essentials book and am set to take the exam next week.

The only information I was able to find is that you are given 65 minutes for the exam. Does anyone know how many questions it is? Are they multiple choice? True/false? Fill in the blank? Were the questions straight forward or very specific/detailed?

Thanks,

According to the site, its 40 questions in 60 minutes. I just ordered the study guide myself.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how I missed that on their site. Is there any info on the format of the questions? The 65 minute limit was in my Pearson Vue confirmation email.

Thanks

My Linux Essentials book stated that all the questions were multiple choice.

I took and passed the exam this morning. It was 40 questions with a 60 minute time limit. The questions were in the following format:

Multiple choice
Select two that apply
Free form text

There were no True/False.

For studying, all I did was read Linux Essentials by Roderick W. Smith:

Linux Essentials

and take the tests at the end of each chapter. There were a few things on the test that weren't really covered in depth in the book, but for the most part the questions were pretty straight forward.

Thanks
