While attending training classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Exam format

The CKA exam is heavily focused on practical application, as it is a hands-on test of your ability to run commands to perform specific actions. There are no multiple-choice questions in this exam. You will be given access to a command line and will be required to perform various tasks.

Scores and reporting

Official scores for exams come exclusively from Cloud Native Computing Foundation. CNCF does not authorize training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.

Exam results are reported as section scores. CNCF does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.

Exam Duration: 3 hours.

Step 1: Go through the guided practical questions in your Kubernetes Curriculum.

Step 2: Ensure all your concepts are crystal clear. Consult your trainer if you need anything.

Step 3: Go through the exam preparation questions multiple times. Practice sample questions at least thrice before appearing for the certification.

Step 4: Never forget to use man pages if you get stuck or confused anywhere.

Step 5: Appear for your examination and keep a clear mind.
