Excellent help for passing DB2 Certifications!
I truly got my money's worth from this book...I passed 2 exams based on this book's study guides and practice tests. Especially wonderful tips are included for areas they like to pose 'trick' questions on to make sure you know the difference between ORDER by and GROUP by, for example. Those tips were right on the money. It made it easy for me to refresh my skills and very confortable with what the tests were like, so that did not add to my nervousness. It is true they don't have the most up-to-date information....they should keep it up and come up with the new version 8 features, and a book for the Advanced tests.

Worth for the CD!
This book comes with CD which has hundreds of practice questions...It helped me in passing my exam 700 easily. Although it didn't cover new features, this book and Cd helped me in passing my exam. Db2 exam 700 certification guide by Roger sanders is also good.

Essential to my success on Exam 512
This book made passing Exam 512 fairly easy. Books & classes from IBM do not focus on passing the exams, but this book does. During 10 yrs. of UNIX sys. admin. I'd done almost no database work. I passed Exam 512 after 3 weeks of concentrated effort. Week 1 - 2 classes: DB2 UDB Family Fundamentals (2 days) & DB2 UDB SQL Workshop (2 days). Weeks 2 & 3 - Read "DB2 Fundamentals Certification for Dummies" cover to cover. I answered every end of chap. question, did every lab and took the practice exams on the CD. I'd never sat for a certification test and this book made me very comfortable with the process. I passed Exam 513 three weeks later using a 4 day class, DB2 UDB Admin. Workshop, and "All-In-One DB2 Admininistration Exam Guide" in the same fashion. I highly recommend this book for passing Exam 512. I would not recommend it as a reference for DBAs.
