Thanks Kolusu.

Maybe I should have been more clear in my previous posting. I have seen the IBM website and have even been thru selftestsoftware.com for the sample assessment. What I was looking for is something that could give me an edge towards getting better score at the exams by someone who has taken the 703 recently.

I remember someone who had taken 700 recently had mentioned the areas to concentrate for getting better scores in 700. I'm looking for something in that direction.

Regards,
DD

Dashingdude,

If you had gone thru the links listed above, you would have found that the exam contains a total of 63 questions.Candidates are required to score 57% or better to pass the exam and will have 75 minutes to complete the exam.That means you need to get 36 questions correct. And they are divided into seven sections

Section 1 - Database objects and Programming Methods (13%)
Section 2 - Data Manipulation (26%)
Section 3 - Embedded SQL Programming (11%)
Section 4 - ODBC/CLI Programming (13%)
Section 5 - Java Programming (13%)
Section 6 - Advanced Programming (16%)
Section 7 - User Defined Routines (8%)

If you look at it sections 2 and 6 constitute for 42% , so you need to stress more on these areas for a better scoring.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
