There are no questions which are purely from the book. A lot of the questions require you to know how a Linux system functions in general. Creativity and reasoning will go a long way toward a good score.
Commands which might appear somewhere on the test:

cd
pwd
ls
who
cat
ssh
export
grep
find
w
file
mv
man (a manual reading question)
chmod
fg
killall
