CSQA Exam Queries

Hi,

I am preparing for CSQA exam and have few queries as below:

1. What is the passing percent?

2. From Jan 2008, we can take the exam online at prometric center. I am not clear how we will need to answer subjective paper - will it be paper exam or it will also be online? Did anyone give the exam online at prometric center?

Regards,

Manish

I have already appeared for CSQA 0n 28-mar-2009. This time the paper was somehow tough, particularly subjective papers. Im not sure if the weightage of subjective and objective is same. I mean 200 marks for objectives and 200 for subjective and total of 400 marks.
Also, do anybody have any idea about the checking criteria for subjective questions. I attempted all the questions but still not sure abt the accuracy of answers as paper was too general. Is the marking for subjective is soft :-)

Good luck with the exam!

Hi Akash... Weightage for

Hi Akash...
Weightage for both Subjective & Objective questions are same...200 for Objective & 200 marks for Subjective...
To be very honest with you...even when i gave CSQA...To my knowledge i found that even after reading CBOK 3 times...I could not recollect much points while attempting the paper...So at the end i had to put my own words plus few words from CBOK which i cud recollect...
So dnt worry...U have attempted all the questions right ?...So shud be able to clear CSQA easily...If u score good in the objective section as well...U can again easily sail thru ur exam...
Even when i gave both CSQA & CSTE ...After the exam i always felt that i may fail...Cause i was not happy with the way i had attempted subjective questions...But then i always had a feeling that since i have attempted all the subjective questions...There's a chance to pass the exam...And thats what happened...I easily cleared the exam...

So no need to worry...U would easily sail ur CSQA exam as i did...

Do let me know once ur results are out...

Hope i have answered ur question...

Hi Gayatri,

CBOK is the only source which would show the path for success.There's no need to refer to any other reference books.Almost 99% of the question would come from CBOK.U need to be thorough with CBOK.This would easily help u to clear ur exam.

Also i wud like to metion if u r thorugh with each domain...Objective questions wud be easy for you...Cause the Objective questions come directly from CBOK...Make sure u have reach CBOK atleast 3 times bfore u appear for the exam...

U did say that u r confused which material to refer...Please make sure that u dnt refer to any short material notes...Cause they are not much helpful...Its always CBOK which wud help u in the long run...

All The Best For Your Exam
