The sample test is designed to give the candidate an idea of the content and format of the questions that will be on the certification exam. Performance on the sample test is NOT an indicator of performance on the certification exam. This should not be considered an assessment tool.
This exam has an Assessment Exam option: A9510-418 Assessment: IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V9.0 Core Administration
Assessment exams are web-based exams that provides you, at a cheaper costs, the ability to check your skills before taking the certification exam.
Passing the exam does not award you a certification, and it is only used to help you assess if you are ready or not to take the certification exam.
You can register for it at Pearson VUE and it will provide you a score report, showing you how you did in each section.
IBM recommends using a variety of resources to prepare for certification exams. During your preparation, it is important that you review the exam objectives periodically to make sure that all the material in the exam objectives is covered in your choice of preparation methods. It should be noted that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between these preparation methods and the exam.
Review the exam objectives to see the complete listing of possible topics for the exam. Use this as your checklist to determine your strengths and those areas where you will need to focus more attention in your studies and preparation. This information also includes recommend prerequisite skills and knowledge.
Actual hands-on experience is a critical component in preparing for the exam. Direct application of the skills learned cannot be substituted by any one other resource listed here. You must spend time using the product and applying the skills learned. The exam is looking to measure how well you know how to perform tasks, not how well you memorize features and functions.
