Not bad.

Since I just failed it again this morning, I'm not sure if I should try to take it again soon, or if I should take a month or so and study, study, study! Tracy ! I've just passed this exams (660-211 and 660-212) at 27 of October (by the way, still have no bundles from Informix). I've studied for 2 days over Training courses related to performance. I can tell you, that this exam purely based on the Performance Course, only few questions are not related to the course materials. I like this exam much more then Admin Exam, because about 50 % of questions I've found on exam was practical, not theoretical. My strong recommendation is to look closely to the monitoring tools and it's output. If you are interested, we can discuss questions that you are not sure in. -- ------------------------------------------------- With best regards, Yuri Dovgart SAP R/3, Informix technical consultant, Informix Certified Professional, Senior System Consultant System Architecture and High Availability Systems, 'Telecominvest' company Email y_dovgart@tci.ukrtel.net ICQ 39284285 > > >
