Hi Friends, I am happy to inform that I passed the CKAD yesterday with 97 score. Thank you very much to @Mumshad Mannambeth the best course on Udemy, Killer.sh scenarios, @Alistair Mackay and Slack community. I followed all the advise already given by gurus, so only one additional comment I could add that - what made me ace was that I only had to review the browser documentation for 1 question, rest all of the questions I was able to do via imperative commands or had idea of yaml fields due to extra practice of kubectl/yaml edits. So, one thing I did which I found was faster is to create a ‘tmp’ object for which I m looking for yaml syntax, and then copy from that tmp object’s yaml, to get the code. After that delete the tmp object, it was faster, as browser search is always slow and scrolling takes time etc. At the end I had 22 mins left, which I used to do Network Policy question, it was confusing one until I got it, and was also able to verify it, and then reviewed few other Qs, to double check before ending exam with 5 mins left. Thank you again all.

Alistair Mackay:
Great score!
Bet you’re wondering where those 3 marks escaped you!

What’s next?

Vin:
Ya, i m wondering about those 3 points still :slightly_smiling_face: … maybe i will stop soon and put my thought to CKS next :grinning:

Alistair Mackay:
I take it you already have CKA and it is still valid? It is a requirement that it is still valid on the day you appear for CKS

Vin:
Yes, I got CKA 2 months ago

Alistair Mackay:
You could probably manage it in another 2 months if you’re OK with linux - there’s much more linux in this than the others. Often there are discounts around Easter.

Vin:
Do you mean another Linux course or Linux cert for Easter discount?

Alistair Mackay:
CKS requires more knowledge of linux basics than the other two. Linux Foundation exam discounts at Easter - usually applies to all the exams they offer, can be 30-40%

Alistair Mackay:
So that being the time to purchase a CKS exam

Vin:
I see, thanks for the advise. Actually, for CKS, I already bought yesterday :slightly_smiling_face: with Feb 30% discount
