Exam format and scoring
The exam has two equally-weighted sections, each worth 50% of the total score.
| Section | Weight | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple Choice | 50% | Knowledge questions across all five domains |
| Performance-Based Test (hands-on lab) | 50% | Three live VM challenges |
You receive a pass/fail result and a per-topic score report. Both sections are scored together.
The three performance-based lab challenges are:
- Using Slurm in BCM to troubleshoot a cluster
- Using Kubernetes to run a workload
- Using BCM to add a node to a cluster
Recommended experience: Linux CLI, containers, GPU concepts at a high level.
