general thoughts #

• being good with linux seems to be rewarded as well given the high marks for some questions (like the node troubleshooting)
• environment was quite good.
• questions were precise. Copy and paste of names and contexts is easy
• weighting is a bit fucked up so there is room for strategy
• no pass/fail message. results will be sent exactly 36 later
• CKA Mock Exams from Mumshabads Udemy course are spot on.
