My experience with the LFCS exam

Yes, it's official now: I am also LFCS certified. Not because I need it for my resumé, but because I want to be certified for every class/course I teach.

Yesterday I mentioned I took the LFCS exam. I'd been wanting to do it for a while now, out of professional interest, but I kept putting it off. Spurred on by December's success with LPIC-1, I decided to take the plunge.

It was fun. I truly enjoyed the LFCS exam and preparation.

As I mentioned in yesterday's review of the big four Linux sysadmin exams, the LFCS fee includes two exam takes, but also two practice exams! That's some great value!

Like with my CKA Kubernetes exam, the practice exams are arranged via Killer.sh. They offer excellent exam simulations, which work exactly like the real exams! I mean: the user interface and the process are the same. Of course the assignments are not. ;)

As many have said: the Killer.sh practice exams are actually harder than the real LFCS exam. On my first practice round I needed 90 minutes for 17 assignments. When I did the real exam, I only needed 60 mins for 17 tasks.

The exam environment is solid, the interface is good, the assignments/tasks are clear. I absolutely love that every task has its own VM/container! With RedHat's exams you get one system for all your tasks and if you break that system you outright fail the whole exam. That's not a risk you run with Linux Foundation! Great stuff.

I can heartily recommend this exam; it's my favourite of the four!
