This :), I should've listened to everyone last year and completed my RHCSE instead of trying LPIs which I still say try trick you in the exams.

Been through the the exact same.

LPI exam is a ****ing parrot contest that tests zero real world ability.

Yeah my colleagues and buddy were saying that and I was like nah. Got to the second exam and the freaking multiple choice questions had similar answers with one flag different, even the xserver stuff was maybe slightly off. Sigh I failed by 2%. Whereas the RHCSA which is similar in level I aced without an issue, as if there was something I forgot, man pages or just real world knowledge.

This is why I back Red Hat as a vendor and why i'm trying to become a Red Hat Architect.

You simply cannot cheat those exams. You must complete a set of tasks and your VM either boots at the end of the exam, or it doesn't.

You get graded and a simple pass or fail is given. If you don't know what you're doing you'll fail.

Thats what they said about the CCIE. How can you dump a practical exam lab, but it has been done.
The CCIE lab ranges has 30+ routers and devices depending on the track, there is a ticket troubleshoot session, and then a set of tasks that you need to complete. Some build on each other, some are done in order to break something else if you do it without thinking.
Certain parts have outputs of protocols which you then have to figure out how to get your configurations and lab to match.
The lab is marked by a script firstly, then by an invigilator across the globe to try prevent on premises cheating.
And yet, people still managed to cheat

Fair enough - they can dump what they remember, but it's all very situational. You can dump whatever you like but if RH disable an additional service or config and you don't know to look for it you'll fail.

Not saying its impossible to dump, just saying very hard to do so as a lot of items are very situational...
