Caution: It is not possible to choose RHEL 6 at the LFCS exam anymore. You have to select RHEL 7.
LFCS Exam Presentation
Here you will find resources (tutorials, book review, quiz, sample exams, etc) about the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator) exam for RHEL 6 / CentOS 6.
You can use this website like a study guide if you’ve got already some basic Linux experiences.
The exam is a performance-based exam in English lasting 2 hours, focusing on basic to intermediate system administration from the command line only. The pass mark is 74%. One free retake per exam purchase is granted. It must be taken within 12 months of the date of the original exam purchase.
You need to choose between 3 Linux distributions (CentOS 6.4, OpenSUSE 13.1 and Ubuntu 14.04) before the beginning of the exam.
A webcam, a microphone and the Chrome browser are required. A compatibility check tool is available.
You can take the exam in any quiet location. Your session will be remotely monitored by a proctor.
The exam may be scheduled anytime within 12 months of purchase. The cost of the exam is $300 and is valid for 2 years.
By achieving or renewing a higher-level certification (typically LFCE), you automatically extend the validity of your lower-level certification.
All the exam details are available in the candidate handbook.

I am taking this exam tomorrow at 9AM EST – I created a practice test for myself that hits on all of the core competencies that I would love to share with the certdepot community. I think the practice test is BEYOND overkill for the LFCS cert – It has some stuff in there that is more RHCSA but it’s all good practice.
You can find the practice test at mathematicbren.blogspot.com – I have not included answers yet.
Wish me luck!
I will look at your practice test.
And good luck for your exam!
Update to this: I was granted a retake for free. However, the Linux Foundation’s stance was basically this: Assume you are working on a COLO machine at all times and test things before implementing them. If you lose your shell like I stupidly did, it’s your own fault.
So while it is important that you know how to use things like GRUB and emergency/single user mode, they maintain that you shouldn’t need them if you know what you are doing. Users beware!
Thanks for this feedback.
Algorisms, did you pass the 2nd time?
I’m updating the new link to the handbook. Thank you.
