It is strongly recommended that you prepare for the test(s) before the conference. To do so, per applicable test, on Test Information - by product, open the applicable Certification Title and refer to:
job role / target audience - to which the test is built
recommended prerequisites skills - knowledge and skills needed before preparing
test objectives - skills measured on the test
test preparation / training resources - to prepare based on the test objectives
assessment/sample test - to gauge one's readiness for the actual test
Note:
1. Up to two tests may be registered for at one time. Upon completing one test, another one may be registered for, and so on. Book test sessions early in the week, to secure multiple testing opportunities during this conference!
2. The same test may be taken only twice in a 30 day period. Both attempts can be at this event.
3. For each session, test takers are required to sign-in to take the test, and show their conference badge, and one ID with photo and signature.
4. Previous IBM test takers, need to bring their certification testing ID #.
5. Tests are closed-book, and computer-based, containing multiple-choice questions. They are delivered in a proctored environment via Prime, a password protected, web-based tool.
