over view:

RHCSA came into existence after the launching of RHEL 6. Before that it was RHCT. The RHCSA course consist of two book. SA1(EX 124) and SA2(EX 135). If you take the third book, that is SA3(EX 255) you can write the RHCE exam as well.
RHCSA exam is for 2 and a half hour. This is a performance based exam. Details on questions cannot be given. I have not written a RHCSA exam but have written RHCT exam and also RHCE. There are a lot more topics in RHCSA than RHCT.
