Congrats, any advices ? how much of time you done the mock exams and score you attempted ?

#3

Augusto:
Hi.! To be honest, I don’t know how many times I practiced. (Maybe 6 or 7 times each mock test). And I’m just was trying to be fast enough in order to finish these mock tests in 20 min or less (marking 100 in each one). Then I did the killer.sh 3 times (never couldn’t finish it before the 2 hours). But this is different because is harder than the real exam. But if you deep understand these questions, you will be more than prepared for the exam.

Ashwin Dora:
@Augusto did you practice only the mockTest 6 to 7 times only or the practiceTests as well ? I am about to give the test next week so wanted to check

#9

Augusto:
Lighting + mock test (6 or 7 times). Trying to finish them very quickly. And killer.sh 3 times understanding well the questions (trying to solve first by myself and then seeing the proposal solution).

#10

Augusto:
Killer.sh is harder. So if you do a reasonable mark there, you’ll be fine for the real exam.

#11

Augusto:
Killer.sh is included in your purchase of the CKA.

Ashwin Dora:
thanks for the input. @Augusto one thing is I am finding networking as the tough part on my end. Struggling with few things and also like kubernetes installation of the hardway , I havenet tried that. So how much of importance is these 2 topics?

#13

Augusto:
I didn’t do anything related to the hard way. Only kubeadm.

#14

Augusto:
And networking (how is explained in the course) is more like a deep explanation of how the things works inside kubernetes. But for real, You just need to know how coredns works, kube-proxy with services. Kubelet is responsible for the CNI and no much more than that. Maybe Practice a couple of exercises with ingress (you only have a few scenarios).

Ashwin Dora:
Thanks a lot @Augusto . Even though I have completed the entire course spending a lot of time and putting effort I still feel I have to practice and go through the exercises again. Anxiety is killing lol . Its time to practicse the mock and loghtininglab as much as possible I guess

Augusto:
Yes. Practice is the key!
