The Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) EX200 exam contains approximately 20 hands-on tasks with a 150-minute time limit. This is a 100% practical exam — there are no multiple-choice questions. You perform all tasks on a live Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system and your work is evaluated by automated scripts after the exam.
Tasks include managing users and groups, configuring file systems, setting up network services, managing SELinux, configuring storage (LVM, NFS), and troubleshooting boot issues. Each task is graded by automated scripts that check the final state of the system — partial credit may be awarded for partially completed tasks.
