Hi, 
 
Today I cleared IBM 000-486 with 98.21%. Just missed 100% becoz of one question  :(  
 
This exam is going to retire soon and hence its better to take this exam at least to mark our experiance/knowledge of OOAD by clearing this exam. 
 
IBM's this exam is based on all practical scenarios and not on theoretical questions.
 
Following two books are sufficient to clear this exam with good score
1) Addison-Wesley - UML Distilled, 3rd Ed [Scan, OCR, Fowler] - 2003 !!! - (By Laxxuss)
 
2) Applying UML and Patterns - An Introduction To Object Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process, 2Ed - Prentice Hal
