Hands down the best examination format I have ever taken. I have a few certs in this area but the RHCE is an excellent model of how to examine someone's skillset.

I wish more, maybe even most, technical certifications followed this model.

The one down side was the fact they weren't willing to give performance feedback. I got 96.4% overall and was absolutely gutted I couldn't find out the reason I missed (still a respectable score - I believe the average score is a fail).

There was a section at the end with 3 different tasks and you should choose 2. I finished pretty early so I decided to do the 3rd, i reviewed and reviewed my work before I left that workstation, I can't see what else I did wrong. Would love to know.
