How are the classes at WGU? Are exams proctored?
Is it possible to speed run through the program in 6 months to a year?

Hell yeah. I slick wanted to do it, but school really isn't for me.

Classes range from easy ( study in a few days) to yikes ( put a couple of months aside to study)

This is coming from someone who has no IT experience

Test are proctored, the process is a pain in the ass

If you have experience yea you can knock it out in that time frame, but that's not the norm.

Can you ChatGPT your way through this and maybe get a B or C on the proctored exams?

Exams are like 30% of final grade.

Nope. You only take an exam to pass the course.

So there is no quizzes, midterms etc...
Just passing the exam is enough to complete a course?

RHCSA done. Going for the RHCE and doing a Python boot camp before the end of the year to wrap it up. Where we at w it y'all boys?

Im currently studying for the RHCSA exam.

What are the resources you used I'm currently using the Red Hat RHCSA 9 Cert Guide: EX200 book by Sander Van Vugt.

And how was the exam setup? Was it difficult?

I started with the RH199 to try and blow through it, but ended up using Sanders v9 and v10 video courses (I ended up doing the v9 exam because I wanted to do containers), his book for concepts that I wasn't fully grasping from the videos or just wanted to know more about, and a little bit of Michael Jang's and Asghari Ghori's books for more detail or practice. Sanders courses really are enough, but I over-studied. If you do his course until you can pass the practice tests without getting forreal stuck, you'll walk through the exam. If anything, his tests were harder.

The exam setup was this:
You boot up a version of RHEL they give you from a USB and you get that environment. It was relatively easy. I was mostly done after an hour.

Nice work.

Thank you cuddy
