Did any one take the SolidWorks Surface exam? If so, can you describe your experience?

Mohamed Hassan Nov 24, 2014 1:49 AM

Gents,

I am preparing to take my SolidWorks Surface exam. I downloaded the sample exam, but it only has 5 questions, which I don't think the real exam will be even closer. I am posting this thread for anyone who had taken the exam to share their experience with me. For example: what to expect? Any useful tutorials or practice before the exam? How many questions shall I expect? How hard is the test comparing to the time - 90 min. etc... Any helpful information will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance :-)

mohamed, surface exam is 19 questions , 4 case studies ,some of important features you should focus on:-

-Project curve
-split sketch entities.
-fill ,sweep and loft surface.
-how to deal with imported file (direct editing)
-delete face.
-offset surface.

did you study Surface Training Manual? it covers all of the exam topics.

Hi Mohamed,
I think it's the most difficult exam which i past. The problem with this exam is a time (Time left for me 4min. when I finish).
Do SOLIDWORKS Tutorials.

When I do this exam I have 19 questions.

    For this exam I only use tutorial include in SOLIDWORKS and this sample exam.
    Training manual it's only a book for training Surface, but it's not for free.
    Also in youtube it's a lot information how to use technics create and modeling surface.
