I self study RHCSA certification therefore I would like to know more about following.
1) I have heard that the candidates are working on the virtual machine instead of physical machine. What virtual machine package are the candidates working on during the exam? How do we access and login to the virtual machine?
2) In what state should we leave the virtual machine as when we finish our exam (shut down or leave it on or is there a button for "Complete exam"?)
3) In what situation do we allow to use GUI instead of console? or every question have to be done with console.
4) Do we allow to take a snapshot for the virtual machine and recover it later if there is problem?
Any (and every ...) such exam is designed to mimic the actual situations that you will encounter frequently on-the-job. Your task is to "get a machine in an unknown-to-you starting state, to a specified ending state, and verify, correctly, that it is now so." (Ordinarily, virtual machines are used, partly because most server installations are virtual machines of some sort or another.)
GUIs are very nice, but GUIs are also a bit of a crutch. You need to know what's going on behind the scenes. You need to know what files to look at, what commands to issue, and how to find information accurately and quickly to enable you to complete a task.
This is ... what you will be expected to do, by the people who might hire you to do something.
