2.1 Exam Preparation
LPI Exam 101 is thorough, but you should find
it fairly straightforward if you have a solid foundation in
Linux concepts. You won't come across questions that intend to
trick you, and you're unlikely to find ambiguous questions.
Exam 101 mainly tests your knowledge of
facts, including commands and their common options, important
file locations, configuration syntax, and common procedures.
Your recollection of these details, regardless of your level
of Linux administration experience, will directly influence
your results.
For clarity, the material in the following
sections is presented in the same order as the LPI Topics and
Objectives. However, you may
choose to study the Topics in any order you wish. To assist
you with your preparation, Table
2-1 through Table
2-5 list the Topics and
Objectives found on Exam 101.
Objectives within each Topic occupy rows of the corresponding
table, including the Objective's number, description, and
weight. The LPI assigns a
weight for each Objective to indicate the relative importance
of that Objective on the exam on a scale of 1 to 10. We
recommend that you use the weights to prioritize what you
decide to study in preparation for the exams. After you
complete your study of each Objective, simply check it off
here to measure and organize your progress.
