Failed Linux Essentials Test

Good Morning alll,
I took my Linux Essentials test yesterday evening and failed My score was 440

The Linux Community and a Career in open source 71%
Finding your way on a Linux System 50%
The power of the command line 10%
The Linux Operating System 75%
Security and file Permissions 57%

The few command line questions I had were things I had not done in labs before. I plan on working on what I missed and doing better for the next test

Any suggestions to improve are welcome

I would skip the Linux essentials exam and focus on Linux+ or LPIC, then go learn the Linux CLI. Get on youtube and find some Linux+ videos & follow along with the CLI so you can be practicing those cmds as you go. Read a couple of books before attempting it again, that way you will absorb the material better. Follow the exam objectives and go through each one until you "know it", repeat.

First to thing to say would be don't get disheartened. I failed my CompTIA A+ first time around but hasn't prevented me from moving on with my career.

I would recommend having a look at the Linux Academy course on Linux Essentials, they'll cover everything you need for the exam: https://linuxacademy.com/linux/training/course/name/lpi-linux-essentials
