RE: Types of 000-066 certification questions that got me

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Thanks for posting your thoughts on this exam.  I passed the V4R5
version and have been considering whether I should take the current
test.  My understanding of the 066 (and 067) exam is that it is designed
for those technical persons who work for business partners selling and
installing iSeries hardware and upgrades.  These certifications are
required in order to maintain business partner status with IBM.  In that
light, I'm glad its difficult because that means that at least one
person in the partner's firm has demonstrated some knowledge of how to
get from point A to point B in an upgrade.  For those who have been
burned by business partners with inadequate expertise, I am glad that
IBM is making the exams difficult.

I have found it a difficult test to study for and your suggestions are
helpful.

Thanks,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
