Hi Rahul,
While I appreciate that everyone is preparing for our new 9.x exam I do have to be sure that everyone understands that these questions are not on any exam.
What we recommend for preparing are one of the two following special offers for selfassessing and refreshing your skills for 9.x:
Test Your Readiness with a Complimentary Prep Class Informatica University has launched onDemand certification preparation classes. The Prep Class will help you both prepare for your Informatica Certified Associate (ICA) Developer exam and validate that you are ready to test. For a limited time, you can receive the preparation class for free with the purchase of your ICA exam a savings of $79! Purchase your exam with complimentary prep class now. Refresh Your Skills This PowerCenter 9.x refresher course provides an opportunity to bring your skills up to date. In this package you will be get access to our new onDemand PowerCenter 9.x Developer Level 1 course that includes 30 hours of onDemand Lab time, a voucher for one Informatica Certified Associate (ICA) exam and the certification preparation recording to Test Your readiness. This package is valued at $4100 (USD). For more information contact training@informatica.com
We also offered "Amnesty" to all who were previously certified; this offer was for a new 9.x exam at a 50% discount. This offer expires on December 31, 2012 so time is running out. Please contact me echase@informatica.com if you have any questions on the new program. Best of luck testing!

Hi Eva,
I have registered and looked into the onDemand certification preparation classes , I dont see major difference between https://community.informatica.com/docs/DOC-2601 the skill set inventory and the Test Your Readiness with a Complimentary Prep Class . There are only 10 sample questions and more of your marketing!
I would have thought you could add more stuff related to exam preparation into it, it is not worth buying for 79 $ (though it is free now).
Thanks D.

Hi Dheeraj
Point taken...the cert prep recording is intended as a guide to the skill set inventory and offers an additional 10 questions to self assess your knowledge. I think you are right that we need to offer a more substantial preparation for 9x certification. Have you thought about what you would like to see us introduce here? I'm interested in hearing what you think would be most helpful. Thank you! Eva

Hey Rahul,
I just now saw your message.Am so sorry.Will post the answers as far as I know so that it could be useful for others or atleast we could correct our own understanding.
regards, Sathya

i am interested in hearing if you find the questions and answers you posted helpful for studying for the new 9x certification exams.
