FAQ

What can I try for free?

A free account opens one full mock: 16 questions in four 30-minute sections, live scoring on a live cluster. Flashcards stay free. Subscribe for the other four mocks.

Is this a real Kubernetes cluster?

Yes. Each attempt gives you a fresh isolated Kubernetes cluster in your browser. You work with kubectl and helm the way you would on the official CKAD. No local install, no cloud account.

How close is it to the real CKAD?

Same kind of work: a live cluster, kubectl and helm, weighted questions, a timer that does not pause if you close the tab. Five timed mocks, 15 to 22 questions, four 30-minute sections, 100 points. Score above 70% to unlock the next section. One mock is free. It is practice, not the official exam.

Do I need to install anything?

A browser and a free account. No local install. Like exam day, the terminal cannot reach the public internet — images and Helm charts are already on the cluster.

What is the subscription?

€15 a month, instead of €20. Cancel anytime. It unlocks the other four mocks — live rubric, retakes while you are subscribed. The free mock stays. No team plan.

Which Kubernetes version is this?

The mock follows CKAD on Kubernetes 1.35, the version the official exam uses as of August 2026. Questions are re-checked when the curriculum moves.
