I'm scared how long RHCSA will take me to learn. Will learning the exam(not for certificate) be worth it?<p>I just bought ghada atef's rhcsa practice questions which contains 257 questions. It'd take me 1 day to learn 1 question. I already know basics of Linux but don't know advanced Linux.<p>So, basically it'll take me ~1 year to read for RHCSA.<p>Would it be worth it at the end? I'd miss so many stuffs in life because of this. I also want to learn other technologies. But the fact is that my job doesn't require any advanced Linux at all. So, would it be even worth it?
About 15 years ago I took a RHCE prep class at the local community college. I never took the exam, but the class was very worth while. I learned a lot in it. However we didn't focus on memorization of test questions like you are proposing. It was hands on and we actually implemented what we learned in class.<p>If you really want to learn Linux, the RHCSA/RHCE exams cover just about everything you'll need to know. Setup a lab environment in a few VMs and learn how to execute on the exam objectives. Which if you ever want to know go for the RHCE you have to do anyway, as it is graded on actual implementation.<p>The gold standard for the RHCSA/RHCE exam study material is the Jung book. It is very comprehensive and I highly recommend it. It is not too expensive either.<p>Here is a link to it on Amazon

No. Getting good at the practice questions is not the same as learning the material. This is why the best certification examples are practical exams.<p>The only worthwhile way to learn Linux is to do, fuck up, and then redo.
