The 050-733 exam is the official Novell / SUSE exam behind the SUSE Certified Linux Administrator 12 (CLA 12) certification, validating the skills measured by the Novell SUSE Certified Linux Administrator 12 credential. It sits at the Associate level of the Novell / SUSE certification program. It also connects to SUSE Certified Linux Professional, SUSE Certified Engineer, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The 050-733 exam contains 60-70 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the ActualTestsIT test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the 050-733 exam is 70%, and the official registration fee is USD $125 - $150. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 100 practice questions on ActualTestsIT, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

No mandatory prerequisites; recommended SLES 12 experience or equivalent training Requirements can change when Novell / SUSE revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
