Hi All,
I have passed IBM 484 with 73%. Eventhough, it is not a great score I'am happy because I had minimal if not zero preparation. I was planning to reschedule the exam for the nth time, but I had the exam on a Monday ,so had to take exam or forgo it since I didn't know the exam was on Monday and didn't reschedule it the previous week. However, I took the SCBCD exam one month back. So that helped a LOT.
Should have taken this exam immediately after the SCBCD, but I wanted to brush a little bit of other topics. So kept rescheduling IBM 484 but didn't get a chance to review anything as things got very hectic at home and work.
Anyway, I'am glad its behind me now.

Hi Archana,
Congratulations on your result ! I am planning to take the exam sometime in December. Apart from the study material mentioned on the IBM site, did you use any exam simulators??

I used the sample exams of both IBM 483 and 484 on IBM testing site ( ICE ).
My prior preparation for the SCBCD helped a lot. So sharpen your EJB skills for this exam in particular, apart from a solid understanding of J2EE technologies. Sun's J2EE tutorials are helpful for brushing up.

Congratulations, man!
What's your next step ? Are you also working for the "IBM certified enterprise developer" certification ?
