Hi Everyone,

Other than the BABOK, can anyone recommend good self study material for the CBAP? It appears the test covers more than the the BABOK, and as there is so much material written, I am trying to find study material focused on the exam.

Thanks!
Ken

Hello Ola,

Congratulations on your upcoming exam. I hope your studying is going well. I am not aware of any study groups in your area. The Calgary chapter website seems outdated so I am not sure of their status. Have you been involved in that chapter? You may want to try and contact samia.osman@calgary.theiiba.org or send an email to info@calgary.theiiba.org to see if they have any info for you.

If you can not find a study group, here is some advice on preparing for the exam.

1) First look over the exam format Blog entry I posted. That will give you a feel for what types of questions to expect. During the exam make sure you read the questions carefully to really understand what they are asking.
2) Read through the entire BABOK and make sure you understand the concepts they are covering.
3) If you do not have experience or training in a particular concept or technique find another resource to get an understanding. For example, I have never used User Stories to gather requirements. I found a book that talked about user stories and I gained a high-level overview of what they are, who writes them and when they are best used. I took maybe 30 minutes to get an understanding.
4) In general it is good to know when each task or technique can be used, who uses it, who are the stakeholders involved, and alternatives to the task or technique.

I hope that helps a little. Let me know if you have any other questions to help you prepare. I’ll share what I can!!

Thanks and good luck,

You are very welcome. We are developing a study guide and boot camp to help potential CBAPs prepare for the exam. Both products will have 450 practice questions which includes a practice exam. All of the questions are endorsed by CBAPs. The study guide and boot camp will be available in July 2007. More information will be made available soon.

When are you planning on taking the exam?
