Hello Don, I found this forum almost by accident today and I wish I had done it much earlier (I'm scheduled to have the exam on next Saturday). I've been studying for the 486 exam for some months now. I got 100% at the beginning of the week. Which questions/area are you failing or have doubts ?

Hello Don, I found this forum almost by accident today and I wish I had done it much earlier (I'm scheduled to have the exam on next Saturday). I've been studying for the 486 exam for some months now. I got 100% at the beginning of the week. Which questions/area are you failing or have doubts ?
Sorry for the delay, I just got the last one right. Now it is 100% correct finally! ================================================ 56) Which of the following are good practices to use while designing for reuse?

Yingtang, My pleasure. Good luck with your exam! By the way, I love IBM exams. Because they provide sample tests. That is much better than Oracle. Personally, I think Oracle exam is the toughest. [ April 02, 2002: Message edited by: Don Liu ]

Hi Don, I have few queries regarding the for question.48 There is a non-OO legacy application which interacts with back-end systems. It is now required to redesign this application into an OO system that caters to high volume of requests. Which of the following need to be considered while modeling the system? Here you say the answer is option a. where we are not clear about the legacy application mentioned contains only the flow or there is legacy database.I mean you also need to have persistent data to be maintained. For question no 36. I feel the right answer should be (b) if you have a seperate class to that monitors the InventoryProducts and the triggering it. Question 33 UML interfaces are used to: In this there can be perspective one from the client side and one from implementation point of view.So it can also be (a) from client perspective. Kindly do let me know about the same. Regards Malay
Malay, For question 48, think "layer of abstraction". You want to shield your applications from implementation specifics of the legacy app. By focusing on the behavior instead of replicating the implementation (remember, replication is bad) legacy app, your application is less likely to break and require parallel changes if the legacy application's implementation is changed, i.e., you can keep your application loosely coupled to the legacy application.
25)A resulting benefit of using polymorphism is reduction of: a) methods in the associated classes. b) subclasses needed to accomplish the same functionality. c) case statements and conditionals. d) coupling between classes in the system. Single Select - Please select the best answer (one and only one choice must be selected).
please, can you helpme with this, im sure the answer is 'd' but i see our friend DonLiu say that the right choice is c. i understand c can be, but d is not more right !? thanks in advance.. ---------------- Alexandre Veloso SCJP2, SCJD2, SCWCD

20)Which of the following are TRUE about software architectures? a) Two tier software architectures do not scale to as many clients as three (or more) tier architectures. b) Two tier architectures lead to more reuse than three or more tier architectures. c) Thin clients are restricted to GUI parts. d) Dividing the application architecture into Model, View and Controller layers leads to flexibility. Multiple Select - Please select all of the correct answers (this question has 2 correct choices).
why c is false ------------- Alexandre Veloso SCJP2, SCJD2, SCWCD

ok, the command line interface.. but and the question 25, any comments??
Hello, Can someone please let me know how close the sample ICE test scales to the actual exam. More specifically, 1) What is the length of scenario-based exhibits of the real exam w.r.t the sample one? 2) Is the % of scenario-based questions(out of the total no. of questions) of the real exam same as the sample one? 3) What about the difficulty of the questions, w.r.t ambiguity in the question? 4) Are the testing conditions the same (37/56 correct answers in 135 minutes). Thanks, Jayadev.
Jayadev, I think it would be better if you started a new thread for that question. [ May 19, 2003: Message edited by: Ilja Preuss ]
