Hi Guys,
I'm planning to take the RHCE exam soonish. If anyone here has taken the test I would be interested in getting your thoughts and experiences.

Hmmm, the first thing you do when you take the exam is signing a non disclosure agreement ... so asking about that test on a list is maybe not a good idea .... :o) Reading manuals, labs, labs and again labs is the way to go ...

yes but i doubt it will cover this:
if you are good enough, taking the RH300 will ensure your pass. If you do not take the RH300, you will likely get the RHCT if you do not pass and you will get the RHCE the second time round...
Are you taking the RHCE based on RHEL5? Getting a RHCE based on RHEL4 seems rather a waste with RHEL5 round the corner...
if you are good enough, taking the RH300 will ensure your pass. If you do not take the RH300, you will likely get the RHCT if you do not pass and you will get the RHCE the second time round...
This is something I wasn't aware of. Are you saying that if I take the RH300 fast track course and do OK, at the very least I'll end up a RHCT?
That's a nice idea.

PS. I'm not asking anyone to violate an NDA, just looking for general information.

Nope. Taking the RHCE exam (RH302) doesn't necessary mean that you will end up with RHCT - you still must be able to complete all the required RHCT competencies in order to earn the RHCT certification.
Here's the typical route for an "experienced" or "good enuff" :: Attend the Rapid Track (RH300) and then take the RHCE Exam (RH302) where the requirements of the exams are as follows:
#### https://www.redhat.com/training/rhce/courses/rhexam.html
The two parts of the RHCE Exam consist of: Section I: Troubleshooting and System Maintenance (2.5 hours) Section II: Installation and Configuration (3 hours)
In order to pass the Red Hat Certified Engineer exam under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, you must meet all of the following requirements: a score of 80 or higher on Section I, consisting of five compulsory and five optionals problems; successful completion of the five Section I compulsory troubleshooting problems within one hour of that section's start time; 70 percent or more on the RHCT-level skills in Section II; 70 percent or more on the RHCE-level skills in Section II.
These last two requirements enable RHCEs to demonstrate that they possess both RHCT-level and RHCE-level skills, as well as enabling a person who only has RHCT level skills to earn RHCT if they pass the required competencies.
Candidates will be emailed exam results within three business days following the exam.
There is only two parts now? Sheesh, long time since I took it. I had to go to Triangle Park back then. Stayed a week to take the course and then the test in three parts took all day. I did extremely well on it. The things that got me was that at the time I was a SCO guru and I got a couple of the commands wrong because of the slight difference in the way they were handled.

If you are good enough to get the RHCE and i mean that you actually have the required knowledge and skills, the RH300 will definitely set you up for certification. When I took my exam, I went the RH300 route...I did not know whether I had the stuff so I thought I'd just take the RH300 course to make sure. On the exam day, I met others who were taking the exam but did not take the course. I asked one he was gambling on the exam without taking the course. He pointed out that two exams were less than the cost of the RH300 course/exam combo.
The RHCE is really pretty basic (or was anyway...did mine on RH7.1 five years ago) and you don't have to memorized pesky command line arguments or out of date and incorrect concepts like swap should be twice the amount of RAM as you would if you were taking the LPI. I would encourage taking the RH300 to learn a thing or two :). I certainly did when I did mine. I almost got full marks (messed up the kernel name on the kernel compilation...lame excuse is that i was too tired after four full days on which i had to also conduct computer classes in the evening) and I had practically zero work experience on Linux besides teaching Linux classes. :P
