Linux Test Results
It is with regret that I report that I flunked the Linux test, which is bad… but not as bad as it sounds.

I think just one additional right answer and I would have passed.
But here is the kicker, the three sections marked with arrows in the table above are in the section for test 102 according to the study guide I am using. I was taking test 101. Half of the sections I studied are now included in test 102. Obviously, the arrangement of the test objectives were changed by LPI and I didn’t know because the study guide I was using wasn’t updated.
So, here is the upside. I already know half of the 102 material because I mistakenly prepared for it for test 101. On test 101, at the minimum I only have to answer maybe two additional questions correctly about either RPM packages or XFree86 and I will pass. What all this means is that I may be able to complete both tests by next Friday. I cant take test 101 again for seven days. So I think I will take test 102 on Thursday and re-take test 101 on Friday. That puts me back on the original schedule which was already week behind.
Still, it is hard not to be bummed out. But my plan is the best I can make of the situation and the end result is better than the original.
