      DB2 Exam C2090-313 Practice Questions - Robert Wingate

      Introduction

      Welcome

      Congratulations on your purchase of DB2 Exam C2090-313 Practice Questions.  This book is meant to help you pass IBM Exam C2090-313 and become an IBM Certified Application Developer - DB2 11 for z/OS.    The questions and answers in the book offer you a significant advantage by helping you to gauge your readiness for the exam, better understand the objectives being tested, and get a broad exposure to the knowledge you’ll be tested on. 

      Why You Should Certify

      Earn More Money

      According to the 2017 IT SKILLS and SALARY REPORT, the salary difference between certified and non-certified IT staff is $8400 or about 11.7 percent more!  See page 6.  Certification pays!

      https://mindhubpro.pearsonvue.com/v/vspfiles/documents/2017_Global_Knowledge_SalaryReport.pdf

      Get Better Work Assignment

      When you are recognized as a certified expert in a technology, you are more likely to be assigned to high profile assignments.  Get DB2 certified and be recognized when the new projects are staffed!

      Master Your Profession

      Getting certified requires you to learn more about DB2 capabilities and features than non-certified staff who have often used only a small percentage of DB2 capabilities.  Through certification, you gain greater mastery of your profession – you become an expert!

      How to Pass the IBM C2090-313 Exam

      While this book will be a great resource in helping you to pass the IBM C2090-313 exam, obviously you’ll need additional resources for an overall study strategy that will prepare you to demonstrate your knowledge of DB2 11.  After all, that is what the exam is intended to measure. 

      To maximize your chances of passing Exam C2090-313, I recommend that you acquire three things:

      1.    Knowledge of DB2 11.

      2.    Experience with DB2 11.

      3.    Practice with answering DB2 11 exam questions.

      Knowledge of DB2 11

      My personal experience with IBM exams is that IBM does not ask many tricky or convoluted questions.  But Exam C2090-313 will seriously test your knowledge of DB2 11.  Even if you have several years of experience with DB2, you may find yourself challenged by some of the topics.  Review all the exam objectives carefully, as you will be asked questions that test your knowledge of each objective. 

      What resources should you use to acquire knowledge about DB2 11? 

      The best FREE resource is the IBM Information Center for DB2 11 for z/OS. Here is the web link:

      http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPEK_11.0.0/home/src/tpc/db2z_11_prodhome.html

      I recommend that you spend some time in the Information Center browsing the topics that are pertinent to the exam objectives.  You can build pretty good study notes this way, and you can be sure that many of the exam questions will come from this material.

      As of June, 2016 I haven’t seen a complete study guide for IBM exam C2090-313.  I do recommend that you purchase a study guide if/when one becomes available.  Regardless of your experience level with DB2 11, the amount of detail in the IBM manuals can be overwhelming.  Most people will find a good study guide to be helpfully focused on exam objectives as opposed to every minute detail of DB2. 

      Finally, the International DB2 Users Group (IDUG) has an excellent study blog for exam C2090-313.  Check out their web site here:  http://www.idug.org/p/bl/et/blogid=143&blogaid=484

      Experience with DB2 11

      DB2 11 is a relatively new release, so unless your shop has already upgraded, you may not have any experience with it.  Still, much of the information you will be tested on has not changed over the last few versions.  You’ll see some familiar topics on the objectives list, plus a few that are probably unfamiliar.  My best suggestion is to practice with whatever version of DB2 you have, and then to put extra study effort on the new features of DB2 11.

      Practice Exam Questions for DB2 11

      Well, you’ve got 180 practice exam questions in this book!  These will give you a general idea of the type questions to expect, and help you to gauge your readiness to take the exam.  If you score well on these exams, you will probably do pretty well on the actual exam, too.  Knowledge, Experience, and Practice questions.  Is there a guarantee that you will pass if you do all three of the above?  Of course, nothing is guaranteed in life.  But if you put sufficient effort into a well-rounded study plan that includes all three of the above, I believe you have a very good chance of passing exam C2090-313 on the first try. 

      How to Use This Book

      Use this book as a supplement to your DB2 11 study.  After you’ve studied the basics using the materials I recommended above, go ahead and take one of the practice exams.  If you do very well on it, go ahead to the next practice exam.  If you don’t score 80% or better on the first exam, then do some more in-depth study before you take the second. 

      Focus some attention on those areas where you did not do as well on the practice exams.  By the time you complete the third practice exam, you should be pretty well prepared to take the real exam.  It’s my sincere hope that this book will help you to pass IBM exam C2090-313. 

      Finally, thanks for your purchase of this book.  If you feel that this study aid helped you in preparing for your IBM DB2 exam, please leave a positive book review at the place you bought it. I’ll really appreciate that. 

      Thanks and good luck!
