I took a test (at the request of an IT Recruiter) by a company called Proveit?
There was a half dozen questions on "iostat" about the "-t" flag and "-sy" flag
means.

The real question is "Griag, the system seem to be really sluggest today, what
up( or down)?"
The answer :  iostat, vmstat, top ....etc?

I passed that one with a 75%.

You talking about 101 and 102 correct?
Was it all mutiple choice? or did you actually have to type in some of the
answers ?
Do you know if it was adaptive i.e. if you got a question on a subject right it
ask you another?



Thanks for you comments
