Red Hat lists the following two objectives for RHCSA 6:
According to the second line, should you be expected to use automount to mount those file systems?
- Mount and unmount CIFS and NFS network file systems
- Configure systems to mount ext4, LUKS-encrypted and network file systems automatically
According to the second line, should you be expected to use automount to mount those file systems?

Sorry, I must have explained myself poorly.
I don't mind studying the automounter, I'm happy with it, but I would like to know if during the exam, either RHCSA or RHCE, one is expected to explicitly use the automounter -as per the exam instructions- or if one is expected to use the usual mount command instead.
I'm asking this because from reading the objectives this isn't too clear, at least to me. -

The general rule on RH exams is: if there is an objective on the list you should prepare yourself to do the tasks related to this objective.
Automounter could be a part of exam but you should be prepared because there are different sets of tasks for each candidate.
So IMHO you should prepare for ALL objectives. -

Study everything in the RHCSA objectives in depth. You won't lose out by knowing it all because the point is to be able to use it on the job. -

My interpretation is as follows:- Mount and unmount CIFS and NFS network file systems
- Configure systems to mount ext4, LUKS-encrypted and network file systems automatically
