I passed IBM
Test 486 with 90% by following the study advice on this forum. I added the following twists:
1) I copied IBM's test objectives into StarOffice then filled in all the objectives I could with quotes and page numbers from Fowler and Larmar. It seemed like Larmar matched a lot closer to the objectives.
2) Each time I took the practice test I printed the questions I wasn't sure about and used keyword search to find all discussion of those questions in the forum.
Just like others on this forum I scored 5 points higher on the real test than I did on the IBM practice test.
Now I'm on to
SCJD. See you in that forum!
