The passing mark for the 000-120 exam is 56%, and the official registration fee is USD 125-300 (varies by affiliation/country). One practical note: the fee buys a single attempt — a retake is charged in full again. Protect that spend by rehearsing first: drill 82 practice questions at UpdateDumps under timed conditions until your scores clear the passing mark with margin, then book.

The 000-120 exam — officially the Associate: IBM i 7.1 Administration — is IBM's certification test for professionals working with its technologies, and passing it earns the IBM Certified Academic Associate certification at the Associate level. Because it is vendor-issued and skills-based, employers can compare candidates on it directly — that is what keeps it valuable. It also connects naturally to IBM Certified System Administrator - IBM i V1.
