Study Tips for EMC E20-001 (ISM Examination)
Hi,
It has been observed by me that many people asking how to prepare for ISM examination. I recently cleared the examination with 75% in my first attempt and I would like to brief out the strategy to clear the examiantion.
1) It is absolutley necessary to purchase the book on ISM by Mr.Alok Srivastava.
2) In case u have had in Instructor Led Training then first attempt practice test present in the EMC website.
3) In case u did not have the ILD training u also first attempt to take the practice test and start reading the book and underline the topics in 'ITALICS' and 'SIDE HEADINGS' like water mark flushing, cache vaulting, ISCI naming conventions like EUI , IQN' and possible areas where questions can be framed which can be understood when u attempt the practice test.In the examination Questions can be on topics like Attack Surface, Port Lock down, Integrity, availability, Iscsi names ... and so on which are in ITALICS.
4) Have special attention to diagrams given in the book since based on the diagrams few questions can be asked.
5) Have special focus on features of EMC products where in u can be asked few questions.
6) It is necessary to revise the topics underlined just before a day to the examination.
7) Last but not the least a complete understanding of the concepts will make u clear the pass percent since questions are not directly framed on lines in the book, but on your understanding of the topic and the above steps will help u to maximise your score in the examination.
Disclaimer: These tips are my personal opinions and doesnt guarentee u to clear the examination.
