The first time I took the exam I got 55% also. That was a bad memory. As for the study material for WSAD,.. well there isn't any good detailed reading materials. Most of the reading I found are too easy. The exam askes some very detailed question about WSAD and WAS. The only way to prepare for them is to develop and deploy not only EJB, but also web components, and clients. Make sure you know the functionality of each little button or check box of the WSAD/WAS window. I didn't do well in WSAD/WAS part either.. those questions were tought and picky.
Here is my score by section
1. enterprise components: 87% (15%)
2. Servlets JSP: 90% (19%)
3. Clients: 25% (8%)
4. database connectivity 100% (4%)
5. EJB transactions: 50% (11%)
6. WSAD: 37% (15%)
7. Assemble & Deploy 85% (13%)
8. WS tools to validate aspects 37% (15%) (62% last time.. humm)
jawa lal:
here is the study link
http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/wsdd/library/presents/AE_SkillTrans.html As for the best practice material, I have that in a pdf file. I can send to you if you want it. The article I have only cover some of the best practice example,.. not all.
Lastly, I would like to say the relief I got from passing this test is much better than the relief I got from the toilet every morning.. oh man, that feels good
good luck, folks
