Book: LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell
Section: Preface
Organization This book is designed to exactly follow the Topics and Objectives established by the LPI for Exams 101 and 102. That means that the presentation doesn't look like any other Linux book you've read. Instead, you can directly track the LPI Objectives and easily measure your progress as you prepare. The book is presented in two parts. Part I covers Exam 101 and Part II covers Exam 102. Each part contains sections dedicated to the LPI Topics, and each of those sections contains information on all of the Objectives set forth for the Topic. In addition, each part contains a practice exam (with answers), review questions and exercises, and a handy "highlighter's index" that can help you review important details. There is also a glossary at the back of the book, which you can use to help familiarize yourself with different Linux-related terms. Parts 1 and 2: LPI Level 1 Exams 101 and 201 Part I and Part II each contain these sections: - Exam overview
-
Here you find an introduction to the exam along with details about the format of the questions. - Study guide
-
This section offers a few tips for preparing for the LPI Level 1 exams and introduces the Objectives contained in the Topic sections that follow. - Topic sections
-
A separate section covers each of the Topic areas on the exam (five for Exam 101, nine for Exam 102). These sections provide background information and in-depth coverage for each Objective, with On the Exam tips dispersed throughout. - Review questions and exercises
-
This section reinforces important study areas with review questions. The purpose of this section is to provide you with a series of exercises that can be used on a running Linux system to give you valuable hands-on experience before you take the Level 1 exams. - Practice test
-
The practice test is designed to be similar in format and content to the actual LPI exams. You should be able to attain at least an 80 percent score on the sample test before attempting the live exam. - Highlighter's index
-
This unique section contains highlights and important facts culled from the Topic sections. You can use this as review and reference material prior to taking the actual exams. Each Objective set forth by the LPI is assigned a numeric weight, which acts as an indicator of the importance of the Objective. Weights run between 1 and 10, with higher numbers indicating more importance. An Objective carrying a weight of 1 can be considered relatively unimportant and isn't likely to be covered in much depth on the exam. Objectives with larger weights are sure to be covered on the exam, so you should study these Topics closely. The weights of the Objectives are provided at the beginning of each Topic section. | | |
