Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Sample Exam review, part of Cert Prep: Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate.
- In preparation for teaching this course…I went ahead and I did the CSWA sample exam…as well as the real CSWA exam.…This document provided by SolidWorks…does a very, very good job of laying out…what exactly is going to be on that exam,…and all the requirements.…Couple things I want to touch on while we're here.…Number one, we want to make sure…that we've got a computer running…SolidWorks 2011 or higher. Make sure you have that.…Make sure you have an internet connection…and then a double monitor. A double monitor…is really key because one, I can have you testing client…up on one screen and I can have SolidWorks up on the other.…
Most of the questions are going to have us…looking at the drawing, and then creating…apart from that. So, if you don't have a double monitor,…you're going to be switching between…windows quite often, so really,…if you have the option of using…a double monitor, definitely take it.…Now, as I scroll though this document here.…You can see, it breaks down each one…of the sections of the exam and what's going to be on it.…
