Oracle Linux Exam Help!

Question

Hello!
I will kindly ask for your honest opinions as I want to study for an Oracle Linux exam and I need to get the below indicated topics covered, but unfortunately I could not find a book to cover them all (as I did for Oracle 11g).
Please help me locate a book, two or how many are necessary to help me study for the exam and cover the following topics:

How about posting this question in the Certification Forum
Since Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can use and search "RHEL books". There should some.
