It is not meant to give away the whole CSWA exam.  \nThese questions are an example of what to expect in the CSWA exam.  \nHow to take this sample exam:  \n1. To best simulate the conditions of the real test, it is best NOT to print this exam. Since the Virtual Tester client window runs concurrently with SolidWorks you must switchback and forth between the two applications. Keeping this document open and consulting it on your computer while running SolidWorks is the best method to simulate the real test conditions.  \n2. The multiple choice answers should serve as a check for you to ensure that your model is on the right track while completing this exam. If you do not find your answer in the selections offered then most likely there is something wrong with your model at that point.  \n3. Answers to the questions are on the last pages of this sample test document. There are also hints that can help save time during the exam.  \n4. If you can complete this exam and get at least 6 out of the 8 questions correctly in 90 minutes or less then you should be ready to take the real CSWA exam.  \nWhat you will need for the real CSWA exam:  \n1. A computer that is running SolidWorks 2007 or higher.  \n2. The computer must have a connection to the Internet.  \n3. A double-monitor is recommended but not necessary.  \n4. If you will be running the Virtual Tester client on a separate computer from the one that is running SolidWorks, make sure there is a way to transfer files from one computer to the other. You will be required to download SolidWorks files during the real test to be able to correctly answer some of the questions.  \nThe following is the topic and question breakdown of the CSWA exam:  \nDrafting Competencies (3 Questions of 5 Points Each):  \n􀁸 Miscellaneous questions on drafting functionality  \nBasic Part Creation and Modification (2 Questions of 15 Points Each):  \n􀁸 Sketching  \n􀁸 Extrude Boss  \n􀁸 Extrude Cut  \n􀁸 Modification of Key Dimensions  \nIntermediate Part Creation and Modification (2 Questions of 15 Points Each):  \n􀁸 Sketching  \n􀁸 Revolve Boss  \n􀁸 Extrude Cut  \n􀁸 Circular Pattern  \nAdvanced Part Creation and Modification (3 Questions of 15 Points Each):  \n􀁸 Sketching  \n􀁸 Sketch Offset  \n􀁸 Extrude Boss  \n􀁸 Extrude Cut  \n􀁸 Modification of Key Dimensions  \n􀁸 More Difficult Geometry Modifications  \nAssembly Creation (4 Questions of 30 Points Each):  \n􀁸 Placing of Base Part  \n􀁸 Mates  \n􀁸 Modification of Key Parameters in Assembly  \nTotal Questions: 14  \nTotal Points: 240  \n165 out of 240 points needed to pass the CSWA.  \nThe sample test below will show the basic format of the CSWA exam in three sections:  \n􀁸 Drafting Competencies  \n􀁸 Part Modeling  \n􀁸 Assembly Creation  \nSAMPLE TEST  \nDrafting Competencies:  \n1.
