It doesn't really matter what is on the exam or not. In the real world, you won't always have a means to access the gui and/or access the gui programs via X redirection. Instead you'll spend the majority of the time in an ssh session connected to remote hosts which may be miles away. Also consider this, the gui environment is only available to you in run level 5...so you'll only be effective in one run level and if your machine can't boot it, you're going to be killing time reading man pages.
