HOW THE COURSE WORKS
PreassessmentA quick sampling of questions that shows what you already know. It is not a full practice exam.
Live LabsIntermediate and advanced job tasks in fully functional virtual machines, networks and cloud accounts. Labs take 2-3 minutes to launch.
Guided stepsPrecise instructions with commentary on the choices made. Graded by scripts and quiz questions, with retries allowed.
TasksYou complete an objective and verify the result. A script grades it; retries and hints reduce your marks.
Applied Live LabsGoal-oriented tasks that build on earlier labs. Hints and retries cost about 30% of the grade.
Challenge Live LabsLarger capstone labs for each unit, with stricter scoring such as time taken and optimal path.
Module QuizzesEvery module ends with a quiz that tests how well you recall and apply what you studied.
Exam practiceAppendix A: a full practice exam with 90 questions plus performance-based questions and a 165-minute limit, like the real exam.
