That is 54/61.
Hi, ranchers!
I was given the "Examination Score Report" by Prometric today, which
states that I had passed the exam having answered correctly for 54 questons out of 61.
Maybe, my preparation details could not be used as a guideline for success
(due to the relatively low pass score as well as for the too long time
it took (5 months)) but, in compliance with the heritage/traditions of
this forum, here are them:
1. I used the Panda's "EJB 3 in action" book as the jamping-off point
into the
EJB 3.0 world (I strongly recomend to
use (not only read) it:
sample code/application which is shipped with it is of really priceless help;
furhtermore, when I started the preparation I had made decision to develop
a lot of sample applications in order to understand the EJB 3.0 technology
better (maybe, that is it why my learning was so long) - and sometimes
the "Auction Bazaar" application helped me to understand why my code
does not work properly);
2. Read the specs + MZ's notes (continuing development of sample applications
testing newly discover aspects/features of the technology);
3. Enthuware mock tests helped me to identify areas that need improvement.
Software used:
Ant, Eclipse, GlassFish, MySQL, Toplink.
I would like to thank all participants of this forum.
P.S.: Surprisenly, I flopped on "EJB 3.0 Overview" section (only 66%) -
so be aware: it seems that the simplest section is of most danger.
