Know-hows of Cognos Certification (II)

3. About the Test. Cognos BI0-112 testing certification exams are computer-based, the results and whether you can get through the exams knew immediately after the tests. Each day after the examination, the results of the examination will be uploaded by the examination center to the central server of the examination companies. And after all the results are treated, the examination companies pass them to the IT comapanies who have the determing say in whether the certification can be granted. Because it is machine test, but also immediate access to results, so the subjects are entirely objective questions, of which more than 80% are multiple-choice questions, Other question types include dragging questions (that is, drag the chosen answer to a certain place), blank filling questions (some simple commands, such as IOS command of Cisco), simulation operation questions (for example, the emergence of MMC control interface in IIS, and ask you to make actual operation according to the given requirements), some other questions such as CASE STUDY (that is, give you a long description of CASE, then answer more than 10 choice questions according to the CASE).

The tests of BI0-112 are supplied and maintained by the exam-based companies which will also provide scoring standards and strategies for the exams. The beginning of each exam you must answer such question as “your income,” “the nature of your work,” “Who pays for exam certification” and other issues, then you can begin a formal examination. These questions are irrelevant but the IT corporations want to know the examinee structure so you just need give true answers. But this part of question, belonging to the choice topic, liking the formal test, equally has a limitation on time, so it often makes the friends, who take part in the Cognos for the first time, be at loss.

What I want to remind everyone here is that, please make sure you understand, before you decide to take the exam, that in the field of IT, there’s no kind of certification is almighty, or “a jack of all trades”. As the IT industry, the requirements of its own characteristics, it’s very fine division of labor, such as Internet, office software applications, software development, computer installation and maintenance, databases, graphics, image processing and many other different areas. And with the development of IT industry, new fields will continue to appear, and new kind of computer certification test will also emerge because of demand or opportunity and so on to update the old certificates. If job hunters wants to be involved into one certain field in IT industry, he should try his best to accquire certificates in this field. Even if it is the presently hot Cognos Certification certification certificate, it is still not a panacea. Therefore, first, to participate in training and examinations must be targeted towards the most authoritative and up-authentication certificate, to get a golden key to enter the IT industry.

Moreover, people are free to choose their own certification exams, but we must understand the market-oriented field and gold content of the certificate, and then participate. We should not follow the majority. One of the most important point is that according to your own expertise and development options to select certification. For exmaple, if you are interested in the network, and want to be a network administrator in the future, you can choose to take part in the examinations of MCP and MCSE of Microsoft company, CNE and MCNE of the Novell company and SCJP of Sun company. If you are good at database, then you can take certification test like MCDBA of microsoft or others concerning database like Oracle, Sybase, and IBM. In addition, now the graphic image also has a number of certification exams, such as graphic design, web-page and others, for those who interested in grapic image might consider.
