Did anybody took 257 IBM sample test. How is it? is it similar to 287 or different?

I'm also looking for guidance on IBM 257.

I've read a lot of the Rational Application Developer Red book but I'm wondering what else would be useful.

I recently passed the 256, which is very similar to the 257. My coworker considered taking the 257 but changed his mind after taking the PRIME practice test because it was so hard.

If you work for an IBM Business Partner, you might be able to participate in the Rational SME program which has a small set of "courses" which cover a small amount of the objectives.

Searching RAD's Help using the test objective topics helped me on the 256. There were lots of great tutorials there.
