hi there,

any tips and inputs about the certification. i'm trying to take the aix 5.3 system support and admin certification. i already passed the V4R3 but for system support level only. Just asking if anyone have successfully passed the exam.

thanks.

I passed my IBM Certified Specialist - AIX exam about 2 years ago mate, best bit of advise is to read the Redbooks on System Administration, Performance Tunning and Backup and Restore.

Thanks

i did pass the exam couple of weeks ago. since v4r3, you are in this platform and i am sure it will be easy for you.

for your additional info: sample test is available on IBM website. i took this sample exam and got some idea about the actual exam and that helped a lot. if you are interested in taking sample exam..just pay $10 and get sample test from ibm site.

let me know if you have any questions

the website topcat2 is well out of date now since all AIX exams are done to AIX 5.1,5.2 and not 4.3. It maybe a good guide line tho

seems a bit expensive to me.

Hi Guys,

I'm too thinking about taking test 222. From what I have read the pre-requisites require you to have so many months/years of AIX exposure. Seemingly I have been working with AIX 4.3.3, 5.2 & 5.3 for over 4 years I hope this qualifies me to taking the test.

Quick question to those who have taken the test. Is the test mainly built up on multiple choice questions? A bit like how Microsoft do theirs?

 

[Germo]

jpor2003,

Yes the question are all multiple choice.

Germo, Thanks.

Thanks.
