CentOS - Mar 2018 - why does "rescue" mode bring me to runlevel 5 (multi-user target)?

finishing a week of teaching a comptia linux+ class off of centos
7.4 and wanted to demo how to boot to "rescue" mode, so i rebooted,
selected "rescue" mode at grub menu, which still booted to full
multiuser, graphical mode. what am i doing wrong? or is this a dumb
question?

It's is not what you think it is.

$ yum info dracut-config-rescue

It's not the same as the rescue mode off the DVD.

  ah, gotcha ... so the course manual is definitely misleading.
