DCDM CERTIFICATION- EXAMINATION 1.1

STUDENT MARK: …………….

General Strategies

The following is a list of general strategies that may help you when approaching the SAP exam.

• General Questions are randomly generated from a larger database of questions. The questions are organized by topic as found in the SAP certification syllabus. Each topic area has a weighting factor that determines the number of questions that will be selected from each of the topic areas. The topic areas will help you understand where the emphasis on the exam will be.

• Don't read too far into the question. It is not SAP's intent to be tricky. This is a common pitfall by the experienced SAP Consultants. They know what takes place at a lower level and can therefore make wrong assumptions as to what is being tested

•Translation Issues - There have been many comments from previous students that the manner in which the questions have been worded have made some of the exam questions more difficult than they really are. It is sometimes difficult to decipher the true meaning of the question. When you run into this situation, try looking at the answers. They may give you clues on the intent of the question. You must understand that the questions are written and delivered in many languages. People from all corners of the earth are participating in the exam so it is difficult for the exam developers to satisfy everyone's language comfort zones.

• In the case where only one answer is allowed and it appears that 2 answers could in fact be correct, ask yourself which answer actually tests the concepts you have learned in the course or which is most correct

• Be aware of the use of terminology. Sometimes terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same thing.

• You can expect up to 50% of the questions to have more than one correct answer.

• Multiple answers do not appear to be treated as right minus wrong. Part marks are awarded. It is not an all or nothing. Each answer in a multiple choice question should be treated as a True/False situation and must be answered explicitly or you will only receive partial marks.

• Multiple answer type Questions with more than 4 choices appear to be worth more marks than questions with 4 or less choices

• Pace yourself i.e. 80 questions over 180 minutes

• Be sure to bring photo ID to the exam!!!
