CKA tips : 1 - What to do if you mess up the CKA Exam

CKA expands to Certified Kubernetes Administrator

I messed up my CKA exam in October 2022. I planned to take the exam from office in my office laptop thinking that I could use the reliable internet and quiet meeting room. I performed system check multiple times, I had admin rights on the system and I was able stop antivirus/firewall also. So I did not expect any issues.

But on the exam day when I launched exam it was giving an error something like "unable to connect to server". I did not have a plan B. I was absent for the exam. I became desperate and could not do anything for few hours after that.

Then I decided to contact the support team and explain my situation. I found only some FAQ documents in all support links. Then after a thorough search I found the proper channel. I wanted to explain the exact steps to contact LF support team to those who need it. That is the reason for this post. I will explain the ticket opening steps in detail here.

  • Click "Get Help" > Support

So my advice to those who are planning to attend online exam using "PSI Secure browser" is never use office laptop for examinations. Always use personal devices.
