Sam Cheng:
the new exam browser is terrible…
Trung Tran:
They’re not stable, some (including me) had good exp with the new PSI exam, some faced lag or even being kicked out while doing the exam, what we can do is submit a ticket to CNCF & ask them for resetting our attempt if we failed because of the bad exam environment!
Sam Cheng:
Thanks for your sharing. I can’t continue the exam 10 mins after entering the exam as I can only use my laptop screen which is very small (13 inch).
Trung Tran:
You should submit the ticket and share your experience, and for the screen, you should use a bigger one (>= 15") as CNCF recommendation.
Sam Cheng:
Yep, a ticket has been submitted. Waiting for their reply. I have a bigger external screen but I don’t have an external webcam. So I have to use my laptop screen… It was not like this before.
Sam Cheng:
Before means last year when I passed CKAD.
Trung Tran:
I used laptop and a bigger screen, I disabled laptop screen (windows + P, then select second screen only), the laptop used just for the camera, this set worked well, you should try.
Sam Cheng:
Sounds like a solution! I will try that. Thanks!
Tom Davidson:
I’ve got a whole bunch of experience here to share, stand by…
Tom Davidson:
Was a pretty stressful nightmare!
Had huge issues getting the 200+MB exam app to run on my corporate Mac and eventually had to abandon due to being unable to find and stop a Remote-Anywhere Master process. For the record, none of the following can be running on a Mac:
• any Browser
• any Terminal app
• any Cloud storage app (OneDrive, Dropbox Google Drive etc.)
• the update agents for Cloud Storage apps above
• Activity Monitor
• Apple Photos
• …and maybe more
You also need admin rights on a Mac and need to allow Screen Recording in System Preferences.
On Windows had similar issues with the 300+MB exam app trying to stop Dropbox related processes. Could not kill DropBoxUpdater.exe or dbsvc.exe processes (IIRC) and eventually had to resort to running Task Manager as Administrator to be able to kill them. For the record, none of the following can be running on Windows:
• any Browser
• any Cloud storage app (OneDrive, Dropbox Google Drive etc.)
• the update agents for Cloud Storage apps above
• Task Manager
• Windows Photos
• …and maybe more
You’ll also need admin rights to be able to install and/or kill stuff.
The questions were definitely less hard than https://killer.sh/|killer.sh so if you can perform alright on those within the time limit, you should hopefully be in the right ballpark.
Tom Davidson:
I also had my broadband drop out mid exam and had to go the the whole verification process again before I could resume (time did pause thankfully).
Alistair Mackay:
The exam is not suitable for taking on corporate devices, unless you have administrator rights, for the very reasons above.
dexterous neo:
@Tom Davidson I am glad, for you time did pause, in my case it did not 
I lost 50+ minutes

I then raised a ticket with LF and got a resolution
Sam Cheng:
Just to update. I raised a ticket on last Thursday and requested to reschedule my test. I got replied today (Monday) and my request was kindly fulfilled. Thanks, Linux Fundation!
