Certification Guides & Sample Exam Questions

The following link goes to a list of links to sample questions: http://www.sap.com/services/education/certification/schedule/index.epx

I found ten multiple-choice questions on the Sales Order sample. They appeared to be good, solid questions--the kind of questions one would expect to see on a certification exam.

Some of the questions have multiple answers. SAP recently went to a "dichotomous scoring" technique, which means that partial credit is no longer given for partially correct answers. So if a question asks you to identify the two correct possible answers, and you get just one correct, you get no credit for that answer. Using this scoring method has resulted in SAP having to lower the passing score on exams-to sometimes as low as 55%.

Since 10 sample questions can't give you an idea of the full range of topics covered by a certification exam, you'll want to review the competency list provided for each exam.

A typical exam lasts up to three hours and contains 80 questions.

Exam Prep SAP Certification Course Materials Training


It's pretty obvious from my tour of the SAP certification pages that SAP hopes that a good number of people sign up for classes to prep for the exams.

While I don't believe that SAP regular classes for clients and consultants are oriented towards passing the certification exams (can you say "No consultant left behind'?), I have been told that some SAP instructors teach classes as rigorously as they can so that students can pass the exams.

SAP does not offer classes specifically tailored to exam content-in my view that's a good thing. I'd rather have a consultant pass an exam based on their hard earned knowledge and experience, than pass based on a review course.

Many test takers have passed the exams without taking any classes-they've either taken classes in the past or they rely on their years of field experience.
