LPI Exams and Command Options

$

0

I've just taken, and failed, the LPI-101 Exam. I am quite sure I know why I failed, I could not remember a good number of the command/program options. For example:

How would you list the contents of foobar.tar without extracting them?

  1. tar uvf foobar.tar
  2. tar cvf foobar.tar
  3. tar xvf foobar.tar
  4. tar rvf foobar.tar
  5. tar tvf foobar.tar

(This question was neither on the Exam I took, and, to the best of my knowledge, is not on any LPI Exam. (The exam has is NDA'ed and Copyrighten))

I cannot remember the correct answer but I know I can easily get the answer if I do:

$ man tar | grep list 

However this is not allowed in the exam, I am expected to remember it.

What I want to ask is, as System Administrators do you remember the options for commands or do you look them up as you need them?

Also any advise on how I should continue, whether I should take the exam again, or a different exam etc, would be most welcome and appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S I hope this is the correct subreddit to ask this, if not could you point me in the correct direction.
