The real exam costs around $500 per attempt, so an hour of realistic practice before you book is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
A private Linux 10 server that only you can reach, with extra disks for storage tasks. It opens in your browser; there is nothing to install. When you finish, it is graded automatically and then destroyed.
No. Linux Admin Simulator is an independent practice platform. The tasks follow the same hands-on, performance-based style as the real system administration exams.
Hands-on labs lock until you choose a plan. Your account and the lessons you've completed stay in place.
You pay once and get everything in Monthly for 90 days. Nothing renews, so there is nothing to cancel. Buying another pass adds 90 more days.
Contact us within 30 days of your exam with your score report while on a paid plan, and we'll add 30 days of access free so you can prepare for the retake.
