Hi everyone, I just took the IBM Certified Developer - XML and Related Technologies, Test 141. It is a tought exam, more difficult than the sample test on IBM web site, but finally I passed it. Thanks for all help from this forum and xml@whiz. My score is 73% Architecture : 72% Information Modeling: 66% XML Processing : 73% XML Rendering : 83% Testing and Tuning : 83% From my exerience, it is important to remember DOM2, SAX2 concept and all interface, XSLT structure and elements, XML Schema structure and elements. Because time is tigh, it must be quick enough to answer every question, do not spend too much time if there is one question you don't know. I completed all answer and have nearly 7 minutes left.

Congrates William Li Thats Grate. Let me know some thing abt the test on tejas464@rediffmail.com
Hi, all, Here are some of my experience regarding 141 test: books: Professional XML 2nd version XML bible Professional XML Schema Professioanl XSLT programmer reference 2nd version web site: w3c.org ( check for XMML specs ) IBM developerWorks XML Zone There 5 modules of this test, Architecture: have some "pattern" of questions, for example, B2B (company-to-company) application must do XML validation, rendering to various client(handheld, pad, etc) do transform on server. the situation suitable for "just-in-time" transform and static transform. Information Modeling: there are more XML schema question than DTD, content model, simple/complex type, ID/IDREF, key/keyref, when to use attributes and elements. XML Processing remember the some special points of DOM2, SAX2 interface, and their methods. this module have most score (33%) XML rendering XSLT structure, XSLT elements(output, key, sort), white space, etc Testing and Tuning check IBM sample test.
I spent two month before the exam. This test is really not easy, prepare carefully and enough before you take it. William Li

To be honest, I felt the questions in xml@whiz is not so difficult than those in real test, the questions in real test are more comprehensive, I got more than 90% in the simulato tests. William Li
