The fix is mechanical: answer what you know, flag what you do not, and keep moving. A few full-length timed runs in the Actual4Exams test engine, with its randomized question order, will calibrate your pace far better than untimed reading ever could.
The official fee for IBM DB2 9.7 Advanced DBA for LUW is USD 200 (may vary by region), and 60% - 70% is what passing takes.
