Familiarize yourself with the official Red Hat Process Automation Manager documentation for
the version used in the exam (RHPAM 7.3). The exam environment includes a snapshot of the
official RHPAM 7.3 docs so being familiar with them will significantly help if you need to look up
anything during the exam. In addition to the official documentation for the product version
being tested, there may also be sample files or additional documentation included with the
product itself. We will not strip out anything that is normally included, but you will not be able to
use the Internet to search for or use other documentation. It's a good idea to keep these
restrictions in mind as you study. Make sure you're familiar with, and only rely on, the official
product documentation for the version specified. Due to technical limitations in the exam
environment, we strongly recommend that you use the +HTML-SINGLE+ version of the docs as
that is the version that is easiest to use and view during the exam.
