Step 2. Prepare for the exam.
ASQ designed these resources to help you get ready to take the exam. Have you already reviewed these items? Are you ready to choose an exam date?
Take a look at the new Quality Technician Body of Knowledge (effective with the March 3, 2012 exam). The last administration of the current Quality Technician Body of Knowledge will be March 2, 2012. Compare the old and new BOKs (PDF, 65 KB).
Review a list of references that provide the basis for the exam questions. These items give you a better idea of the material covered in the exam.
Take an interactive sample exam to receive additional feedback on the questions that appear in the sample exam. Print out the paper-and-pencil sample exam (PDF, 203 KB) to see the actual test format, including instructions and test questions from past exams.
