The C9510-130 exam is the official IBM exam behind IBM Rational ClearCase v7.1 — passing it earns you the IBM Certified Specialist - Rational ClearCase certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by IBM Rational ClearCase v7.1. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the IBM Certified Specialist - Rational ClearCase and IBM Rational Software Configuration Management certifications certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one IBM credential.

The C9510-130 exam presents 55-65 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the TestSimulate desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the C9510-130 exam you need Approximately 70%, and the official registration fee is USD 200-250 (varies by region). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed TestSimulate practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

Recommended experience with software configuration management and basic knowledge of version control systems. No strict prerequisites required but IBM ClearCase operational familiarity is strongly advised. Because IBM revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word.
