Taking the IBM 486

Dear all,
I have been reading but not participating in this forum. Thank you all who have helped share their views/experiences on the Test. I will be taking the test on Saturday and have read the two books many times. I will share my (hopefully positive) experience then.
I have one last question: What is the split between theory (without figures) and application (with figures) questions?

I think I remember counting 29 questions with exhibits. about half of these had one exhbit while the others had two or three.
There are a lot of common exhibitsand so I would recommend you try and group the questions by exhibit.
My advice is to ignore any question with an exhibit and complete all the 'theory' questions first.
Then tackle the state, sequence, activity and use case diagrams followed by the CRC and then clas diagrams.
Leave the class diagram questions until the very end. You have to put a lot more effort into these but you will not get any more marks than the simplest of questions.
They are also very hard and so I would miss these questions if I had to miss any.
