Yes. No idea. I didn't even know Red Hat had an OpenStack exam!

I'm gonna assume this is the one from the Openstack Foundation? How does it compare to the RedHat Openstack Cert?

- Skip tasks! Get to the end and come back for the harder tasks. Keep a list, as a file in the exam system, of skipped tasks.
- Practice everything in the CLI *and* the GUI. Many exam tasks can be accomplished much more quickly in the CLI. Some tasks are not possible in the GUI, as far as I can tell.
Some tasks are quick and easy. Some have a *lot* of parts and details. Some are *really* hard. The exercises are not interdependent. Since neither the complexity nor the amount of effort is consistent from task to task, it makes sense to do the things you can do quickly or easily, first.
I don't think I passed, but I think I get a free retake, so barring a miracle, I'll be taking it again in a couple weeks.
