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.

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.

It depends on the course requirements. Some courses have 1 task you have to complete. Other courses have 2 tasks while one class may only have a proctored exam to take when you're ready. The tasks can be tedious as there's a bulleted list of items that need to be included in your work and explained within the task, as well as citing sources correctly. This means incorporating sources into your work, explaining why the quote fits, and correctly citing it. The proctored exam is a pain because of the platform they use. Your laptop MUST meet the requirements of the platform in order to even take the exam. With the tasks, you're also depending on the course instructor to grade your paper based on the requirements listed within the task.

All in all, pass the task, you pass the course.

I have 3 courses left in my MS ITM program that I'm hoping to have completed by the middle of December.
