Working through the sample exams
“
- Okay, so how are you going to work your way through the sample exams? Well, you have two hours for each sample exam, and I really recommend you take this exam as if it were the real exam. Make sure that you are not distracted and use no other documentation what you find on kubernetes.io/docs. Timing is important. Try to finish all tasks within the two hours provided, and then you run the exam-grade scripts after finishing your work. All of the tasks come with a solution in Lesson 15 and 16, and it is recommended to watch all the solutions, even for tasks that were evaluated positively, because you never know, you might learn something from it.
