Throughout the book, figures, tables, screenshots, examples, warnings, notes, and exam tips are furnished to support explanation and exam preparation. There are four sample RHCSA exams that are expected to be performed using the knowledge and skills attained from reading the material, following the in-chapter exercises, and completing the end-of-chapter challenge labs. The labs and the sample exams include hints to relevant topics and/or exercises.
