Red Hat Essentials Practice Tests: 90 Questions Explained

Can you work on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux command line without looking things up? These practice tests check the essentials every RHEL administrator uses from day one: the basic commands, date and time settings, and how the Linux file system is organised.

You get 6 practice tests with 90 questions in total, each test on one topic, so you can find a weak area quickly and practise just that.

What makes the explanations useful

Each answer tells you why the right option is right and why the wrong options are wrong. The wrong options are real commands and settings that are easy to pick by mistake - that is where most of the learning is.

How the tests are built

• Using Essential Commands, Parts 1-3 (24, 16, 19 questions): users and passwords, file types, paths, listing and viewing files, getting help.
• Time and Date, Parts 1-2 (6, 5 questions): checking and setting the date, time and time zone.
• Describing Linux File System Hierarchy Concepts (20 questions): the standard directories and what belongs in each.

Take a test, read the explanations for every question you missed, and take it again a few days later. If you are new to Red Hat, these tests are a good first check before the environment-level questions of the next course.
