JBoss Advanced Training and the certification Exam

[srinravi]

Dear All,

I don't know if this is the right place to post this,but i couldn't find any other relevant forum..so i am going to ask anyway..

I plan on attending the JBoss Advanced training in a few weeks time.After the training finishes we are supposed to take an exam(75 questions-90% should be correct for certification!!)..

Since my company is paying for the training and exam i would like to take this opportunity and do my best..Can anybody share their experiences on this?has anybody taken the exams?can i get some sample questions?how difficult is it?

I have 3 yrs on JAVA and around 1.5 on EJB and J2EE..i've been using jboss for a year now for development.i think i satisfy the requirements for the training

Is the exam very difficult to pass for say an above average programmer?is the exam so earth-shatteringly difficult that only single digit percentage of people pass?please help me with this-whoever has taken the exam...

Regards,
Ravi

Hi,

I have the same question. Should I volunteer and go for the certification or
not. I am planning to go for the san francisco training session in december. Is there any one who is going there?

I am interested in
Certified JBoss Developer/Consultant

The prerequisite says :
To prepare for the JBoss for Advanced J2EE Developers course, and to ensure that you have all the necessary skills to be successful, it is highly recommended that you satisfy 1 of 2 options: (1) Attend a JBoss for Java Developers training course prior to registering for the Advanced course; (2) Pass the Middleware Placement Exam.

I want to know if it is necessary to take the Jboss for Advanced J2EE Developers course to appear for the exam or I can just prepare on my own and appear for the certification exam.

Please let me know,
Thanks.
