UML certification

[Lavanya Ayachitula]

Hi,
I have just started preparing for the UML test. Can anyone recommend me the kind of books/study material/test guides I got to follow.
Also, I would like to know which one is better? The IBM UML Test or the OMG UML test. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance..

Lavanya,
I'm also studying for UML (IBM 486). Don't know anything about the other cet you mentioned. I'm using the following books;

The UML User Guide - 3 amigos
Applying UML and Patterns - Larman
UML Distilled - Martin Fowler
Ray
SCJP, SCWCD, SCBCD, SCEA (part 1), IBM484

The OMG UML might be the most complete certification for the UML language.
The IBM 486 is most suitable for developers and the OMG UML for those who want get in depth of the UML language.
For the OMG UML, read the UML spec, and for IBM 486 follow the Ramon Gill recommendation
