Week-by-Week Schedule

Week 1— System Architecture

7 days

System Architecture
System Architecture is 15% of LPIC-1 and covers the machine underneath Linux: hardware, boot firmware, kernel modules, and the sysfs/procfs interfaces. Exam 101 tests it through scenario questions on BIOS/UEFI versus MBR/GPT partitioning, GRUB 2 configuration and recovery, runlevels and systemd targets, plus udev and kernel module handling.
📅 Days 1–7🎯 ~2 questions/day⚖ 15% of exam
Study →
- ✓Configuring GRUB 2 bootloader options and recovering a system that fails to boot
- ✓Identifying BIOS/MBR versus UEFI/GPT partitioning schemes and their boot implications
- ✓Managing kernel modules with lsmod, modprobe, modinfo, insmod and /etc/modprobe.d

How to use this 60-day plan

→Commit to 1.5 hours per day — consistency beats marathon sessions.
→Start each domain by reading the objective description, then immediately move to practice questions.
→Don't skip domains with low weight — exam questions can come from any domain.
→When you finish a domain, score ≥ 80% on its practice questions before moving on.
→In the final 3 days, do full mixed-domain practice tests to simulate real exam conditions.
→Review wrong answers immediately — understanding why you were wrong is more valuable than getting it right.
