Quick notes and things to review before the exam.

Certification sections

• CKA
• CKS
• CKAD (TODO: section to be added)

Some tips

• Be fast, be fast, and be fast. ;)
• Master Vim to be as fast as possible.
• The documentation is only here to copy-paste code snippets that you already know where to find. However, during the exam, there is not enough time to search for information you do not know or have never tested before.
• If you really do not know something, do not waste time searching.
• Experiment and train as much as possible with Killercoda and Killershell.

Important before taking the exam

• Be 100% sure your connection is fast and stable (check ping delay).
• Review the official list of allowed exam resources: Linux Foundation - Allowed Resources
• Read Important Instructions for CKA and CKAD: Linux Foundation - Important Instructions: CKA and CKAD
• Read Important Instructions for CKS: Linux Foundation - Important Instructions: CKS
• Make sure you know how to copy-paste in the PSI Exam testing environment.
• For macOS: Copy/Paste: shift + ctrl + c / v
• Verify your webcam is able to autofocus (ID check during the admission process).
• For macOS, make sure none of these processes are running before starting the exam.
• Tip: shut down any Apple device (iPhone and iPad) or turn off Bluetooth.
