The exam is five hours long and 150 multiple choice questions. There is approximately two minutes per
question.
                                                                                                                                                3
What Makes or Breaks a Certified
        Quality Auditor
• The CQA exam is unique in that it contains case
  studies which are “SAT” type questions. Each
  case study is a story followed by multiple choice
  questions
   – Fifteen to twenty percent of the exam involves case
     studies.
   – Each case study will include a brief scenario outlining
     critical details about an audit situation.
   – In addition, each case study will be supported by
     related audit documents
• It is important to practice this type question in
  preparation for the exam.

                                                               4
Preparing for the Exam
•   Over the years, in my opinion, these seem to be key factors for exam success:
     –   Textbook
           •   Quality Council of Indiana: The book is well written and designed for test preparation. I have never
               heard anyone say it was not appropriate for the exam.
     –   Study time
           •   Develop a routine for studying-I suggest studying every day at a certain time, whatever works best for
               you.
     –   Working problems
           •   “Practice makes perfect”
           •   Don’t get behind on the homework
           •   Work extra problems specially case studies
     –   Equipment
           •   Bring no more than one other reference material-I suggest the Juran Handbook
           •   Have a good statistical calculator-see next slide
           •   Plenty of # 2 pencils
           •   Plenty of scratch paper for working problems
     –   Practice Auditing
           •   Be an internal auditor for your organization
           •   When you conduct an audit, make sure you cover the sections in the CQA body of knowledge
           •   Try to conduct the three audit types: System, Process, and Product




                                                                                                                      5
Calculator
• You will need a statistical calculator for the
  exam. You can get a good one for less
  than $50 at most retailers.
• Here are the critical keys you will need to
  use. We will cover these during the class:

   ∑+ X σ x σ        n−1   x
                               nPr   nCr   n!

       x
   e                                            6

                                  8
Exam Taking Strategy
• There are three types of problems on the
  exam
  – Easy: Work these first
  – Moderately difficult: Work these second
  – Difficult: Work these last
• Avoid panic!
  – Work easy problems first


                                              9

Each case study is a story followed by multiple choice questions – Fifteen to twenty percent of the exam involves case studies. – Each case study will include a brief scenario outlining critical details about an audit situation. – In addition, each case study will be supported by related audit documents • It is important to practice this type question in preparation for the exam. 4
  • 5. Preparing for the Exam • Over the years, in my opinion, these seem to be key factors for exam success: – Textbook • Quality Council of Indiana: The book is well written and designed for test preparation. I have never heard anyone say it was not appropriate for the exam. – Study time • Develop a routine for studying-I suggest studying every day at a certain time, whatever works best for you. – Working problems • “Practice makes perfect” • Don’t get behind on the homework • Work extra problems specially case studies – Equipment • Bring no more than one other reference material-I suggest the Juran Handbook • Have a good statistical calculator-see next slide • Plenty of # 2 pencils • Plenty of scratch paper for working problems – Practice Auditing • Be an internal auditor for your organization • When you conduct an audit, make sure you cover the sections in the CQA body of knowledge • Try to conduct the three audit types: System, Process, and Product 5
  • 6. Calculator • You will need a statistical calculator for the exam. You can get a good one for less than $50 at most retailers. • Here are the critical keys you will need to use. We will cover these during the class: ∑+ X σ x σ n−1 x nPr nCr n! x e 6
