Running Labs vs Mock Tests

The SRE Learning Platform provides both labs and mock tests to help you prepare for certification exams. Understanding the difference between them and how to run each is crucial for maximizing your learning experience.

Mock Tests

Mock tests are designed to simulate the actual exam environment and conditions. They help you practice under timed conditions and test your knowledge and skills comprehensively.

Labs

Labs provide hands-on, interactive learning experiences. They focus on specific topics or skills, allowing you to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Key Differences

• Purpose: Mock tests simulate the exam environment, while labs focus on hands-on learning.

• Structure: Mock tests are typically broader and cover a wide range of topics, whereas labs are more focused on specific skills or areas.

• Execution: Both mock tests and labs can be run using similar commands, but they serve different educational purposes.

By understanding and utilizing both labs and mock tests, you can ensure a well-rounded preparation for your certification exams.
