FAQ
TL;DR: 67 % of 2020 EE.08 practice sheets featured Windows Server tasks [Elektroda, dhapollo, post #18781416] “Time is very little” [Elektroda, karolina2121, post #18790918] Expect VLANs, DHCP, AD, cable crimping; no reliable leaks exist.
Why it matters: consistent task patterns let you study smart, not search shady leaks.
Quick Facts
• Tasks repeated across all reported sheets: DHCP, VLAN, AD or user management [Elektroda, Katonn, #18790179; Elek-, kalina., #18790702].
• Random-draw pool per hall: 3 practical sheets [Elektroda, Rapsik13, post #18794778]
• Typical EE.08 practical duration: approx. 150 min [“CKE Informator”, 2020].
• Linux desktop on exam PCs: GNOME-based Ubuntu/SUSE, supports GUI file copy [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18794218]
• USB screenshots usually supplemental; hardware config checked live [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18793588]
Are there any reliable EE.08 theory or practice leaks?
No. Forum members report zero advance leaks for either part of the 2020 exam [Elektroda, alikatek, post #18773994] Earlier leaks appear only minutes before the sitting and are unverified. Focus on official syllabi instead.
What tasks recur most often in the practical exam?
Reported sheets show a pattern: 1. Switch IP and VLAN setup. 2. Router LAN/WAN and DHCP pool. 3. Windows Server AD or Print Server. 4. Linux user and DHCP or FTP service. 5. Straight-through T568B cable crimping. These appeared in every shared sheet, covering 100 % of forum reports [Elektroda, kalina., #18790702; nawie8, #18793357].
Will the operating system interface be Polish or English?
Expect Polish. One candidate asked about language and no one reported English installations afterwards, indicating Polish builds dominated in 2020 [Elektroda, wojte116055, #18787570; multiple confirmations thereafter].
How many different practical sheets can my hall draw?
Candidates saw a pool of three distinct sheets; the invigilator drew one for the whole hall, not per student [Elektroda, Rapsik13, #18794778; Seba2115, #18794829].
Was a Linux server task actually used in 2020?
Yes. Sheet 3 required Linux DHCP, user creation, VLAN ping tests and lshw hardware checks [Elektroda, Katonn, post #18794419] Another sitting added anonymous FTP on Linux [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18799414]
What configuration steps did the Linux DHCP task involve?
Students edited two files: 1. Interfaces file—bind DHCP to the correct NIC. 2. dhcpd.conf—define subnet, range and one static reservation. They then restarted the service with systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server [Elektroda, nawie8, post #18793625] “Four or five lines were enough,” an examinee noted [Elektroda, Katonn, post #18794419]
How do I copy screenshots from Linux to the USB drive fast?
Mount the stick (GNOME does this automatically), open Files, drag PNGs into the provided folder. CLI alternative: cp ~/Pictures/*.png /media/usb/ then sync. The GUI method avoids path typos and matches examiner expectations [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18794218]
Will missing USB screenshots fail me?
Not always. Examiners mainly inspect live device configurations; USB files serve as backup evidence. One student passed when screenshots were missing but switch settings were correct [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18793588] Edge case: if hardware is unreachable, only screenshots prove competence.
Why did my client obtain DHCP but still not ping the switch?
Posts cite the Windows firewall blocking ICMP as the common culprit [Elektroda, Seba2115, post #18794829] Disable it or allow ICMP Echo in Advanced Firewall. Another failure source is assigning the switch gateway outside the subnet.
What hardware assembly tasks appeared?
Sheet 2 demanded HDD, GPU, NIC and RAM installation, followed by speed tests and spec comparisons using GPU-Z and built-in benchmarks [Elektroda, kalina., #18790702; newtad1, #18791345]. Expect to justify component choice—e.g., “Which card suits Blender?”. At least one mark rewards the written justification.
How can I list hardware specs quickly in Linux?
Run sudo lshw -short > ~/Desktop/specs.txt; the command finishes in under five seconds on typical lab PCs. It covers CPU, RAM, disk and NICs, matching exam requirements [Elektroda, Katonn, post #18794419]
How do I crimp a T568B straight cable on the exam?
- Strip 2 cm insulation; untwist pairs. 2. Arrange wires in T568B order (orange-white, orange, green-white, blue, blue-white, green, brown-white, brown). 3. Insert into RJ-45 and crimp. Test with cable tester. This 3-step sequence meets sheet instructions [Elektroda, newtad1, post #18791345]
