Test COG-612: IBM Cognos 10 BI Author

[sanpanico]

Hello community.  There hasn't been much activity of late on this topic.  Does that mean folks aren't interested in Report Authoring?  Are people moving to some other BI application tool??? :o

I'm intrested in taking the cert exam, and came across this thread.  This post in particular seemed helpful.  I'm curious to know what self study is being referred to below?  Anyone?...anyone?  Bueller?

Cheers!

...do the examples of the courses (i did the online version self study j158/159) and you should be prepared.
Also, you can find some example questions and what are the main topics online on the ibm sites...

if i remember correctly:
create reports 7 questions
Focus reports = 6 quewstions
Enhance reports 22 questions
Create reports usoing query model = 9 questions
setup burinst 3 questions
event studio 3 questions.

Hi San,

if you do the certification i guess you did kind of a seminar before? Online, self paced or a pyhsical presence seminar?!
Anyhow, there should be documentations with that IBM seminar..just practise with them. Thats what i refered as "self study"
The number of questions refere to the questions in the certifitication, xxx question for each topic (which you might find in the seminar documents).
gl and cheerz :P

Does anyone have any recommended resources to study for the Cognos BI author certification? I am new to cognos and My knowledge is very limited. Is it a good time to think about certification or you need actual hands on work experience and then give certification?

Thanks

Now this is what I call a perfect "Bursting" of responses...
Universal Studio and 5th option as You need SDK ... this can't get better!!!

I just did my cert last week.
What i did was to watched a bunch of youtube tutorials (theres a series of videos for report authoring) and tried to do the exercises as i watch them. They're pretty much spoon feed with the step by step procedure and the explanations as well.

I did passed the exam thou not the score that i had expected. Then i started reviewing the documentations and able to identified some most of the items which i think i got wrong.

So, to pass the exam you need to read the documents (intro/and cook books) and do hands on exercises.

cheers!

Hi,

Actually I can do something much more useful. I'm sending you a three-day ban from Cognoise for breaching the forum rules in making this request, and for blatantly attempting to cheat to attain certification. Many folks on this forum have worked and studied hard and passed the test legitimately, and people who pass by cheating in the way you are attempting to here devalue this. If you saw a post saying "can anyone tell me where to get lock picks and pry bars - I want to go and steal someone's TV", I imagine you would be appalled. We are just as appalled by your post here - in fact it is not so dissimilar. Is it right to steal someone's TV, or should you work hard, earn the money you need, and buy one legitimately? Is it right to cheat to attain your certification, or should you work hard, gain the knowledge and experience you need, and pass the test legitimately?

After three days you will be able to log in to Cognoise again when your ban expires. Hopefully you will have learned a valuable lesson. Any subsequent requests for exam dumps will result in a permanent ban next time.

You'd think he would have at least read through the prior posts and taken the hint. Amazing.

Maybe we can report these people to the NITT police  :)

I also think that anyone banned from Cognoise, or those repeatedly breaching Forum Etiquette, should be forced to watch some horrible video before entering the site. I'm thinking perhaps a Taylor Swift video or that commercial with the "I need a Balti" jingle.

Done! :)

I think this is certainly one of, if not THE funniest thread I have seen in Cognoise.

A great way to end the week. :)

I was going to say that too. I would actually want more forum members and more posts like this , it's good for my entertainment  ;)

It is possible to pre-order the COG-612 exam and go through free simulation Q&A here Oh! it vanished. The link has evaporated. Oh well, at least some good has come of it - IBM now know about it and can take action, and other people coming here to look for dumps will see it is not worth it anyway because IBM will find out using their super new NITT detection model, then remove the person's certifications and ban them from re-sitting for a good long while.

Lucky for this guy I'm not a moderator 'cuz I'd have banned him to the far corners of the solar system by now.

Dear Mods, I think you should at least edit his post to remove the link.
