Purpose of Exam Objectives
When an exam is being developed, the Subject Matter Experts work together to define
the role the certified individual will fill. They define all of the tasks and knowledge that an
individual would need to have in order to successfully implement the product. This
creates the foundation for the objectives and measurement criteria, which are the basis
for the certification exam.
The Systems Storage Software Certification item writers used these objectives to
develop the questions that they wrote and which will appear on the exam.
It is recommended that you review these objectives. Do you know how to complete the
task in the objective? Do you know why that task needs to be done? Do you know what
will happen if you do it incorrectly? If you are not familiar with a task, then go through the
objective and perform that task in your own environment. Read more information on the
task. If there is an objective on a task there is about a 95% chance that you WILL see a
question about it on the actual exam.
After you have reviewed the objectives and completed your own research, then take the
assessment exam. While the assessment exam will not tell you which question you
answered incorrectly, it will tell you how you did by section. This will give you a good
indication as to whether you are ready to take the actual exam or if you need to further
review the materials.
Note: This is the high-level list of objectives. As you review these objectives, click for a
more detailed level of how to perform the task.

Next Steps
1. Take the MQ System Administrator V9.1 assessment test.
2. If you pass the assessment exam, visit pearsonvue.com/ibm to schedule your

testing sessions.
3. If you failed the assessment exam, review how you did by section. Focus
attention on the sections where you need improvement. Keep in mind that you
can take the assessment exam as many times as you would like ($30 per exam),
however, you will still receive the same questions only in a different order.
