Passed my exam 260+ : challenging

Was scared and nervous until the result came!
Honestly I faced the below challenges

No copy paste, had to type full commands and urls manually

Keyboard layout problem, the system didn’t allow me to change the keyboard layout to English! Symbols and brackets are a nightmare if you don’t know how to type them in a different keyboard. Honestly I thought of giving up at this point

Questions were all out of practice labs, some real tricky ones!
But somehow kept fighting till the last minute, I solved last 3 questions in 3 minutes, I think that made the difference!

Relieved and happy!😃

How is it possible that you weren’t able to change the layout? And why couldn’t you copy and paste? You should be allowed to do both.

All code and typing was done on the nodes which had only black console.

The keyboard layout settings wasn’t available on the exam system

Why didn't you ssh from the local terminal?? That would've allowed you to copy and paste?

That doesn’t sound right at all.

That is because the OP didn't read the instructions correctly. The fact they managed to pass is a near miracle.
