15 Exams. One Certificate.
5 MCQ exams, 5 short-answer exams and 5 simulated practice terminal exams. Every exam is 30 minutes. You need 60% to pass. If you fail, you can retry after 3 days; if you pass, the next exam opens after 1 day.
Rules
Exam 1 is always open. The next exam opens only 1 day after you pass the previous exam. If you fail an exam, you can retake that same exam 3 days later. The certificate is awarded only after passing all 15 exams. Simulated terminal exams are not real Kali Linux — this is a simulated terminal built for learning.
