LPIC Level 1, Being Certified
I made it finally.
In the morning, train delayed with heavy snow. 10:00 a.m. was due. I had planned to get on a train starting at 8:35 a.m., left home 8:22 p.m., saw the lights of level crossing blinking. The train of 8:20 a.m. was delaying. I wanted to catch that, because otherwise I wasn't sure I would get the venue in time.
The delay turned out to be about 20 minutes and arrived at Kita-Sendai station a few minutes past 9:00 a.m. From there I took the subway. I got to the venue at 9:35 a.m.
Time, IDs were OK, and it was time for the exam. I put my properties into a locker according to the exam policy, and got into the room. The procedure was the same as how I took the LPIC 101 exam. I sat in front of the exam PC, read terms of the test, accepted them, and then I started answering questions.
In a few minutes I started answering, I was surprised because I saw a question which I was asked also in the 101 exam. From then on I answered every question carefully, checking question expressions, how many answers were required and whether I need to type the command only, the command and the suitable options and arguments, or the full path of the command or the file.
After I finished the test, I knew I did quite well, but not perfect. I made at least 3 mistakes, because correct rates of 3 sections aren't 100%. I have found out two and how I made mistake with those questions.
One is about the ntpdate command (With this a host communicate to a NTP server, but not the reference clock directly.). Another is the format of /etc/group (,which has password field, but not comment, unlike the user file /etc/passwd has the comment field).
I'm not sure what was the rest of my mistakes.
At home I checked the official site, logging in with my account, and checked my status. At 3:00 p.m. my status hadn't been updated. Probably by tomorrow my status will have been updated and officially certified as LPIC Level 1.
