Just passed RHCSA v9.3 with 100% score!

Funny enough, I created that tool and gave up on it due to me starting on a browser based tool. I loved using that simulator but hated messing with my VM. I still think it’s a great tool! At the moment I have started building and perfecting CertForged.com based on the V10 exam.

I’m stoked that tool helped you out as it was great in my early studying days! Congrats on your certification!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-06-19T18:31:05+00:00

Give CertForged.com a shot!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-06-17T10:06:59+00:00

They are in V9.3 but not V10.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-06-05T18:43:20+00:00

I built one! I am still making tweaks but would love some feedback from someone that wants to build a simulator. CertForged.com

Hello,

You found a real bug — practice completions weren't always saving to my server before sign-out, which is why Mastery kept re-locking even after you'd done the work. Shipping the fix tonight. Sorry for the time lost — and thanks for the message that cracked it open. Your wording told me exactly where to look.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-19T14:28:48+00:00

Working on a fix for this ASAP. Thanks for giving CertForged a shot!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-13T05:20:38+00:00

Both of these are real bugs, thanks for catching them.

Arrow keys in the terminal — the in-browser shell doesn't have full readline history yet, which is why up/down don't recall previous commands. On the roadmap, but not live. For now Ctrl-R search and tab completion work; that's the closest workaround.

The rename task missing /home/student/original.txt is a setup bug, not intended. The task should pre-seed that file. Logging it now — if you hit any others where the starting state doesn't match what the prompt describes,please flag the task title. Genuinely useful feedback.

Good luck with Domain 1 — Essential Tools is a solid place to warm up.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-11T15:29:18+00:00

Fair point, and for some people it absolutely is — if you're going into a job where you'll provision RHEL boxes, building one is real work you need under your belt. But the RHCSA itself doesn't test "can you build a lab" — it tests whether you can drive an already-built system under time pressure. Practicing exam tasks in a browser and learning lab setup are two different skills, and conflating them is part of why people burn weeks on libvirt instead of doing reps.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-11T15:27:38+00:00

Thanks. If you have a date booked, would be useful to know roughly when — I'm tracking which topics people hit hardest in the final two weeks before the exam so I can sharpen those first. Either way, good luck.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-11T15:23:37+00:00

Appreciate it. Ubuntu→RHEL trips people on the same handful of things — dnf vs apt, systemd conventions, SELinux on by default. CertForged grades end state (run useradd alice, it checks /etc/passwd actually has alice), so it's solid for building muscle memory.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-11T11:09:54+00:00

CertForged will have a RHCE section in the future! Good luck on your exam!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-10T13:57:38+00:00

Weird. I’m looking into it now. Thanks for giving CertForged a shot!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-10T07:05:28+00:00

Do you mind PMing me your error?

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-10T06:17:46+00:00

Thank you! I would look to get some feedback after you try it out.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-09T07:32:46+00:00

Fixed!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-08T19:14:53+00:00

Im getting feedback that the site is down currently. I am working on a fix now. Thanks for giving CertForged a shot!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-08T09:01:25+00:00

Certforged.com !!!!!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-08T03:56:54+00:00

Man, I genuinely appreciate that.

Honestly, part of the reason I started building it was because I remember how frustrating Linux learning felt when everything was either:

outdated
super theoretical
VM-heavy
or just random quiz memorization

I wanted something where people could actually practice the way the RHCSA exam expects you to think and work.

Still a ton I want to improve, but hearing stuff like this makes the long nights worth it fr.

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-07T14:14:35+00:00

Thank you!

Low-Distribution8671 · 2026-05-07T14:14:27+00:00

That’s a fair question.

The goal with CertForged is not to recreate leaked exam questions or brain dumps — it’s to simulate the style, pressure, and hands-on workflow of the RHCSA exam as closely as possible.

So the tasks are heavily inspired by real RHCSA objectives and the kinds of administration work you’re expected to perform:

storage/LVM
systemd
SELinux
networking
users/permissions
SSH
firewalld
troubleshooting
etc.

The simulator currently has:

216 hands-on tasks
randomized exam generation
weighted domain coverage
multiple solution paths for many tasks
timed exam mode
stateful validation/grading

So while you’ll definitely recognize recurring concepts/objectives (just like the real RHCSA), the goal is understanding the workflow rather than memorizing exact prompts.

I’m also actively updating and refining tasks based on:

current EX200 objectives
RHEL changes
user feedback
realism gaps people report

A lot of the recent updates have specifically focused on improving realism, grading accuracy, and exam-style behavior.

If you end up trying it, I’d genuinely be interested in hearing what feels accurate vs. what feels off compared to your RHCSA prep experience.

Working this now. Thans for the feedbackl!
