Purpose of Exam Objectives


When an exam is developed, Subject Matter Experts work together to define the role the certified
individual will fill. They define the tasks and knowledge that an individual would need to successfully
perform this job role at the level specified. This creates the foundation for the objectives and
measurement criteria, which form the basis of the certification exam.
Cloud certification question writers use these objectives to develop exam questions.
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, go through the objective, perform that task in your own environment
and read more information on the task. If there is an objective on a task, there is a high likelihood that
you WILL see a question about it on the actual exam. The IBM Center for Cloud Training provides
instructional learning path designed to prepare you to take the certification exam.

After reviewing the objectives in this guide and completing your own research, take the assessment
exam. While the assessment exam does not indicate which specific questions were answered
incorrectly, it does indicate overall performance by section. This is a good indicator of preparedness or
if further preparation is warranted.
