I looked through some of Red Hat's old pages and did some googling and there is nothing that says you must be RHCT certified to receive your RHCE (again for version 5 of the exam). If they don't find your points you may want to ask them about that... Hopefully they give you the points though and this is all a moot point
RHCE requirements: score of 70 or higher on RHCT components (100 points) score of 70 or higher on RHCE components (100 points) RHCT requirement: score of 70 or higher on RHCT components (100 points) RHCT components score: 66.7% RHCE components score: 93.8% RHCT Certification: NO PASS RHCE Certification: NO PASS

/pub/beer/ wrote: » Sorry man. I didn't get my results yet. With the RHEL5 exam you'd need to get the RHCT section passed before your RHCE portion will count. With my exam they separated it out so if I didn't pass my RHCSA, my RHCE exam could still be marked as pass. I wouldnt get my RHCE until I pass my RHCSA. With that said, I was paranoid about a little typo or forgetting to make something persistent blowing my entire score. If I had to predict my results I'd say I got nearly 100 on the RHCSA and 80 on the RHCE. Also I'm fairly certain the scoring is automated by scripts. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I wouldn't count on the results changing.

Computadora wrote: » Why don't they just separate the exam into two different sections one for RHCT and one for RHCE, and make the tester take the RHCT portion first, and if they fail that just end the test there? I mean if you fail anyways if you do not pass the RHCT portion for the RHCE, that is kind of messed up, I guess its a good thing though, at least you get to practice the RHCE portion of the test. Anyways, I hope it all works out for you.

You don't want to risk passing the RHCT and failing the RHCE part because of a simple mistake, then having to take a third exam. Good luck. P.S. - remember the NDA when you begin discussing the exam after your retake.
UnixGuy wrote: » They didn't respond to my first email. From what I understand, my first attempt in the first exam counts to nothing since I didn't pass the RHCT, even if I passed the RHCE part, I'm neither RHCE nor RHCT. So I think I need to take the whole thing again.
darkerosxx wrote: » Yeah, that may sound right, but I don't think it should be. If you pass the RHCE portion of your exam, you should have that done, only needing to get your prereq completed. You should only need to pass the RHCT. If they tell you otherwise, that's BS, imo. I would most definitely push the issue and get a definitive word, but that's me. Having said all of that, you did incredibly well on the RHCE portion, so if you end up having to take it over, you know what you need to study and I'm sure you'll ace it. I do have to give you kudos on such a great RHCE score. That's not easily done. Congrats.

Especially since for the last 2 years I've been working in Cambodia earning a very very modest income, which will be used to pay the $3250AU for the fast-track course and exam. Thanks for posting this. Instead of being arrogant and poo-pooing the RHCSA portion of things, I guess I'd better go over it thoroughly and make sure I'm up to speed with all the 'basics'.

In fact, I'm half way through setting up a small lab to practice on which I'll be making a hole to through my firewall. If anyone would be willing to log into my practice box and 'break' it for me, I'd appreciate it. I'm not talking about `rm -rf /`, more like creating issues with its setup so I have to diagnose and fix them. Riding around Asia on a motorbike for the last couple of years has unlearned a lot of this kinda stuff, but it's coming back pretty quick!

The last was Virgin Blue Airlines where I was an infrastructure engineer, tasked with researching and deploying new technologies on linux hosts (as well as setting everything up). Been playing with Linux since 2.2 setting up free web hosting using my old man's cable connection. That year-long venture was cut short when the ISP pulled the plug and told me to stop dicking around on a residential connection. Basically taught myself everything I know and never really saw the benefit in getting formal qualifications. Between man pages and google I can solve almost any problem, however that's just not gonna cut it for the RHCE from what I gather! The bike? Started off as a backpacker but quickly grew out of that and upgraded to a chopper-style bike. Toured greater south east asia getting up to all sorts of mischief and ended up living in Cambodia. Through my contacts there I've managed to get the ear of the Ministry of Commerce who need a new data centre. That's why I'm back in Australia refreshing my knowledge before I go back and launch into the project. Should be interesting...
