Its very hard to understand. The PDF filed relating to the IPMI 1.5 specification is over 450 pages:

Thats bigger then my server+ Study books.

If you look at "Architectural Goals", "New for IPMI v1.5", and "New for IPMI v2.0", that should be more than enough information for you. It's only a few pages, and the test really isn't going to go too in-depth into it. My Server+ Bible doesn't even have an entry in the index for it.
