Exam 700 - are Prime/Prometric assessments worthwhile?

Hi ... Looking to take Exam 700 soon. Have read through Sanders 700 Study Guide twice and installed DB2 Enterprise Server Edition. Just downloaded and took STS 700 Practice Test Demo ... but only 5 questions were provided. Seems as if IBM is not offering any more free practice exams ... has anyone spent $10 on an assessment offered through Prime/Prometric and found it helpful? Anyone know how many questions are provided in a single assessment? Thanks in advance.

My advice is to save your money on the 700 practise exam and do take the 701 practise exam. If you can't pass the 700 exam without practice, you have very little chance of passing 701.

If you have some experience with DB2, 700 is a piece of cake ...

I would agree with what Marcus says ...

Protmetric is useless! I just read the IBM DB2 books and got 92%!

I will bet you that you will not get 92% on the 701 exam. The 701 sample exams are not worthless, and I would recommend that you take at least one.
