Hi ... Even i cleared my wps v5.1 certification yesterday with 67%. Well it was much tougher than the questions given in the sample test offered by the IBM Prometric for $10. I could get 75% in the sample test.
I will put up the questions here tommorow as i have saved them in my personal system.
Well the Exam consisted of many questions on Install, configure, debug mode and testing/troubleshooting the portal installation. Also, it had a couple of questions which werent clear in their options.
