RE: IBM certification, especially RPG

My   guess is that if you can  pass the sample test  You  have a  reasonable
 chance of passing the real test. At  least that is how it worked for the
exams
 I took.  Yes the samples can  be challenging. I remember one  question I knew
 the  answer - it was   suggested I  did not,I tried the other choices  one
by  one 
and none of them were marked correctly, It  was the only  question on the
topic
else I could not say that.

Advice  do not read anything into the questions  None are meant to contain
tricks
but  they do seem to go in directions IBM  wants to have you  use the
system  in
the future scheme of things.
