This was one of the more difficult exams for me, nearly as tough as the SA Pro, mainly because of the nitnoid detail that you have to know off the top of your head instead of looking up the options in the man pages. On a scale of 0-800, with 500 being a pass, I got an 570, which is a humbling experience. Always good to be reminded that you may not be as smart as you think, and need to dive deep to learn all the details. Here are my scores:

System Architecture: 87%
Linux Installation and PKG mngt: 45%
GNU/Linux Commands: 80%
Devices, Filesystems, FHS: 66%

I'm a bit surprised about the last score, but the 45% in package management sounds about right as I couldn't remember the right flags or specific commands to do the alternative install activities. Outside of yum update -y and rpm -ivvh I need to look it up in the man pages.

The other challenge of this test is the fill in the blank answer, which doesn't allow for autocomplete or spelling errors. You know it or you don't.

So, could have been better, but I'll take this pass and focus even closer on the 102 exam, which I expect to take in 2-3 weeks.

My primary review course was, of course, from Linux Academy, and I also created a set of flash cards from their study guide.

I did also use Exam-Labs for practice, which gave me a chance to understand the question format. Wasn't a great test taking tool, but worth the $10. I'll probably buy a practice exam for the second one as well.
