Great Resource
I used this book to prepare for the basic exam and passed it first try with a score of about 85%. Its a tough, quite abstract exam but I think a very good one and this book would have been all I needed to pass. The sample exam in the book is a very good indication of where your level needs to be. The certification guide also deepened my knowledge of UML considerably - which I have been using off and on over the past 8 years.
The book is perhaps a little too terse and very dense and thats the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars as a preparation resource.
I'm going to use it to prepare for the intermediate exam too...
Complete book for the exam
Really complete book, clear and concise. It's a very good tool to pass both of the exams, as well it's a great resource for those who want to initiate and work with UML.
Instrumental in preparing for my certification
Before buying this book, I had no doubt that it would be instrumental in passing my certification exams. I did pass the the Fundamental exam in the first try itself and I don't believe I would've been able to do so if I had not laid hands on this material. Neither do I think there's a book out there that covers UML with the level of detail as this one does. After all, this guide is published by the same Group that sets the UML standards and administers the certification program! I'll be referring back to it again for my Intermediate-level exam. Thanks OMG!
Good for study to the OMG certification exam !
This is a good book for preparing to the OMG UML exam. Each one of the most important elements of the UML metamodel are treated with a simplified view.
The sample exam of the end is so useful. I recommend the book.
Informative Guide on UML Certification
Good book to have for UML Certification...I wish every UML evangalist must have for reference.
