I'm not too surprised, given I've only been studying for almost two months - I was supposed to take it exactly one month ago - but given the family matters that've interfered in the meantime, it's probably still a feat.
I "squeaked out" a 78, but as they say, all that matters is that you passed.
My breakdown:
1. Architecture (18% of
test / scored 70%)
2. Information Modeling (27% of test / scored 73%)
3. XML Processing (33% of test / scored 77%)
4. XML Rendering (14% of test / scored 83%)
5. Testing and Tuning (11% of test / scored 100%)
There were only two distinct exhibits they used during the test, neither of which were very complicated. Almost nothing on Formatting-Objects, and nothing on security.
Well, my next goal is IBM 483 (
J2EE) in two weeks, followed by IBM 486 (OOAD with UML) either in late February or early March.
Wish me luck!
