KCSA practice questions, dealt by the exam blueprint
Multiple choice, on paper, with no documentation at all. So this drills recognition until it holds, and a full mock of the paper — 60 questions in 90 minutes.
flashkube is a flashcard game for Kubernetes certification. Miss a card and it comes back sooner; answer it well and it rests. That is spaced repetition, and it is the whole engine.

6 islands · 16 landings
229 cards written for KCSA, across 6 islands and 16 landings — counted from the cartridge itself, not written into this sentence. Cards are tagged per exam, so this is what a KCSA candidate actually gets, not the whole library.

How does the KCSA exam run, and what does that change?
60 questions · 90 minutes
Multiple choice, on paper, with no documentation at all.
So the cartridge drills recognition and nothing else: no typing drills, no documentation practice, because the exam has neither.
No lab is needed for a written exam: the whole preparation is what you can recall on the day, and recall is exactly what this drills.
What does KCSA prep on flashkube cost?
$29, paid once. Nothing renews and nothing lapses — and every card written after you buy is already yours. Three islands of free water, from wherever you land, and ten KCSA questions dealt by the blueprint free, with no account.
