RHCE Mock Exam 1: 18-Question Practice Exam

This is a complete RHCE EX294 practice exam modeled on the well-known Lisenet sample exam. It runs on the same five-VM topology as the real exam (1 control node + 4 managed nodes) and exercises all exam objectives end to end.

The exam is organized into five task groups containing 18 exam items in total:

• Group 1: Control node setup, inventory, and configuration
• Group 2: Roles, Galaxy, and content collections
• Group 3: RHCSA automation -- storage, users, groups, and SELinux
• Group 4: Templates, handlers, and error handling
• Group 5: Vault, conditionals, loops, and scheduled tasks

Work through the groups in order, just as you would on exam day. Set yourself a three-hour timer to simulate exam conditions, read every task before starting, and verify each playbook with ansible-navigator before moving on.

Note on duration: This lab is intentionally exam-length (around 3 hours) rather than the usual 30-45 minute lab. It is a capstone assessment, not a tutorial.
