LFCS Passed : A Small Review

muneebkalathil

Yes, Got the mail today morning. Passed LFCS with 84% Mark.


Review: -

It was not Too Easy or Too Difficult. But got some tricky questions.
Read the questions carefully.
Time . Time . Time . Its very important. Only 2 Hours. Need to manage time.
Dont waste time by managing tmux or screens.
Finish the questions first that you know.

Study well users & group management, Process management, hard disk partitioning, nfs, searching etc.
Prepared using linuxacademy materials. But I think its not just enough. You need to search more things.


And thanks to linux foundation for the retake. I failed first time . I got just 34%. Well, actually I thought it would be easy. But, no.
Later Prepared again and written the exam. And, this time had some technical issues. Terminal gets restarted in the midlle of the exam frequently. They offered a free voucher to do exam again. Got 73% for that exam . Pass percentage is 74%.
And Last, cleared it. My first Linux certification - LFCS.

So any doubts, love to share

Did you not set up your own lab to practice with? I have a voucher and training for LFCS, but have not used it yet and it expires in december.

Thanks for the info. This exam also counts towards an Azure MCSA. Who can't love a Linux exam? Who can't love Linux (says a guy writing this on a Windows machine!)
