Several issues with The mock exams of RHCSA course

Mock Exam 1 issues

These mock exams are great however I had trouble with numerous questions.
Some I think are wrong whereas some just have very pedantic validation rules.

Q2 - fails to validate even though I ran the exact same commands in the “Solution” window.
I think it is because the original file examresults has the same entries repeated a few times so the new file has duplicate entries ?
Sorry no screenshots of this one.

Q4 - The instructions are clear about the archive "should not contain the /opt/assets directory itself.
The solution given includes /opt/assets/.
This is the answer I gave but it was marked wrong

/usr/bin/tar -C /opt/assets -jcv --absolute-names -f /home/bob/asset_backup.tar.bz2 .

Confirming that Mock Exam 1, Question 2 is a valid issue. Let me forward it to the team and continue checking the mock exam.

Hi @kodekloud25

I just checked with the team, and they are working on creating new mock exams to replace the old ones. They should be updated soon.

Hello.

This course itself is outdated and too compressed with the material, but it gives the fundamental knowledge, I must say. It would be the best approach to update this course. Thank you.
