Red Hat Environment Practice Tests: 153 Questions Explained

Do you know the Red Hat shell well enough to work fast and safely? These practice tests check the command-line skills a Red Hat Enterprise Linux administrator uses all day: managing files, links, shell expansions, redirection and pipes, editing with Vim and setting up the shell environment.

You get 5 practice tests with 153 questions in total, each on one topic, so you can practise exactly where you are unsure.

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

• Managing files using command-line tools (38): creating, copying, moving and removing files and directories.
• Matching file names with shell expansions; making links (38): wildcards, brace and command expansion, hard and symbolic links.
• Redirecting output to a file or program (29): standard streams, redirection and pipes.
• Editing text files from the shell prompt with Vim (24).
• Changing the shell environment (24): variables, aliases and start-up files.

Take a test, read the explanations for every question you missed, and repeat it a few days later. It pairs well with the Red Hat essentials tests as a second step.
