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 Tivoli Certification item writers use these objectives to develop the questions 

that they write 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
