Common Questions About the IBM 000-431 Exam

What is the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.5 Administration exam all about?

The 000-431 exam is the official IBM exam behind the IBM certifications I certification, validating the skills measured by the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.5 Administration credential. It also connects to IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V5.5 Implementation, IBM Spectrum Protect certifications, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 000-431 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 000-431 exam contains 65 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

What score do I need to pass the 000-431 exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the 000-431 exam is 63%, and the official registration fee is USD 200. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 102 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
