Test King Exam Products

[jpor2003]

Hi All,

Looking at AIX Certification study guides on the net and came across a product from testking.com in relation to questions and answers for the 000-222 tests for $69.99 with free updates to questions and answers. At the moment I have taken a couple of on-line mock tests, and have found that the IBM Study guide doesn't cover all of what is being asked in these Multiple Choice questions. For example I was asked a few question on Hot swap PCI and the answer was drslot. This is something that is not covered in the IBM Study Guide.

Just wondering if anyone has purchased and tried the testking product?

Thanks.

Never tried them, but after a quick google found this $29

Thanks. Will look into this a bit further.

Anyone else looked into or purchased any of these products to aid them in taking the AIX test? If so, are they worth the money?

If it were me (and because I'm from Yorkshire) I'd just go with the free redbooks from IBM.

Yes. Tried taking the exam by using the Redbook study guide. Took the exam and found the questions being asked were not even covered in the Redbook study guide. I.E Host swap devices. And the best question of all. What severity do you log a call with IBM for a problematic command that won't work, but you have a work-a-round for....

I'd say whatever severity you feel appropriate, and don't mention the work-around!

Machine down 1
Anything not a 1 is a 2
General question is a 3

Cheers guys. But I'm really looking at a central learning resource to help me pass the exam. I believe this product can achieve this. But was wondering if anyone had any experience with this product, before I spend out money on something that may turn out to be completely useless.

Those type of questions are put in so that even if you know the subject at hand through and through, you probably won't get full marks.

I have never failed an IBM test - either personal knowledge/experience or (if I felt like it) a quick read through of the redbooks did me fine.

Do I know all the options for the snap command? NO.
Do I know all the options for the drslot command? NO.
Do I know all the different feature codes available for the system p servers? NO.
Do I get close to 100% on all tests? NO.
Do I get 100% on some sections of the tests? Yes, occasionally.

My point is, don't worry about these type of questions you mentioned (I don't), worry about general AIX knowledge.

If you don't want to fail (an expensive test) again, perhaps you should try the testking material. But I have no experience with them.



HTH,

Thanks for the tips P5wizard. The last test I took I missed the mark by 5 correct answers.
