Thank you @Mumshad Mannambeth and everyone at KodeKloud. I would not have achieved this without the resources and encouragement from all of you.

I had some issues getting ready for the exam.
My web camera would not focus clearly on my ID. I had to scramble to find another camera. I would recommend actually holding up your ID to your web cam and confirming that it can in fact focus correctly on your ID.
I used Ubuntu 20.04. The default wayland is not supported with the PSI exam. I had to log out, switch from wayland to xorg, and then log back in. I was lucky I knew how to do this and didn’t have to look it up.
The exam browser did not automatically download on my Ubuntu machine. I had to click the download button. After download, I had to manually extract the file. After that, I just double clicked the extracted file and the test browser ran fine.

Congrats Paul! What sort of advice would you have for someone just beginning the certification journey?
Paul Wroe:
For me, I built a Raspberry Pi cluster so that I could experiment at will rather than wait for an ephemeral environment to spin up. I think that helped. Also, I went through the Mock Exam Series about 5 or 6 times. I hope that helps!
