I am preparing for the CSWA test, and after 15 years of solidworks use, I feel confident in my skills, however I get tripped up by the oral questions. Is there a study guide that might help me with this?

The oral questions are only 5 pts each, so even if you miss them all and get the model right you can pass.
Wow, good to know, Thanks Tony. Takes a lot of pressure off.
Hi I'm also preparing to take the exam in the next 2 weeks.
What version of SW is the exam based on?
If I only have SW2012, can I still sit for the exam?
Hi Edwin, you should be fine, the prep course is based on 2010, and all the questions, modeling, and assemblies are basic. I just got my cswa 2 weeks ago, and it was pretty straight forward. There is a practice exam I suggest you take this will offer you a close look at what the test is like, http://www.solidworks.com/sw/docs/EDU_CSWA_Sample_Exam_2013_ENG.pdf . Good Luck! and if you have any more questions I'd be happy to help.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I tried the sample exam. I took 20min to draw the sketch for Q3. Yeah got the answer right but I took too long I think.
That might be cutting it a little close on time, but remember you have 3hrs to complete the exam. Good Luck!
Thanks for the tips.
I passed!
Hey That's great, congrats! Max, is right, the cswp isn't free, but if you have a subscription some of the tutorials are available.
This month, the prep courses on mysolidworks are free.
Is there CSWP for free as well?
Negative! That particular exam is a payed cert. Fun fact: if you have a current subscription to solidworks there are exam codes you can use to get free cert tests.
