Students go for these courses because of the sheer number of recommendations it has received from others who have passed with flying colors over their other competitors. So here&#8217;s a heads up &#8211; take these two courses, and study hard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give special attention to the basic commands and concepts. It\u2019s better to practice basics \u200band simple concepts over and over again until you\u2019re absolutely comfortable before moving on, rather than rushing into advanced concepts that can leave you baffled.

Reviews &amp; revisions should be done along with hands-on practice.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might form a habit to go through all the theories at one go &amp; then come back one-by-one to do hands-on. However, this is not a good strategy for preparation. Learn theory &amp; do hands-on practice together.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studying once a week would not work in an exam such as this. Make sure to set some time aside each day to really concentrate on the concepts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_resources_for_practice\"><\/span>Best resources for practice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s highly recommended to go through all the questions present <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/dgkanatsios\/CKAD-exercises\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in this Github repo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The questions are quite close to what one can expect from the actual exam and are great for building the basics.

Why? Well, the proctor has a process for making sure your ID matches its record and that the room you&#8217;re sitting in is really the one you registered for. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The proctor may ask you to turn on the webcam and roam around the room with the camera on, to make sure there is no one else in the room and no cheating material is in your possession.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the formalities before the exam don\u2019t take too long,\u00a0 the candidate should not panic if the proctor doesn&#8217;t start the exam straight away. Basically, it\u2019s best to let them do their job and when they&#8217;re confident you&#8217;re in the right place at the right time, you can get started with your test! <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The exam has different kinds of questions &#8211; some will have several objects that are created and need to be named during a scenario, on account of being timed, take special care to properly name the objects as mentioned in the question &#8211; simply getting them all set up will not be enough as the exam judge is going to look for objects by an exact name.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Donts_for_the_exam\"><\/span>Don\u2019ts for the exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is probably the most important section of this post because we are going to talk about what you should NOT do when preparing for your CKAD exam. Do not spend the last week before your certification exam cramming up on Kubernetes documentation! And don&#8217;t freak out if you feel like there&#8217;s just not enough time in the day to prepare yourself. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One great way to remove some pressure from yourself is to focus on just a few core concepts and make sure you really get a good grasp on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_Questions_about_CKAD_Exam\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Frequently asked Questions about CKAD Exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4>Q1.

That said, if you practice enough and take note of the exam&#8217;s advice, you&#8217;ll be able to do well regardless of whether or not you have experience with Kubernetes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope this article helps all future test takers prepare better for the CKAD certification exam.
