But I did. All I did was study the Corioulus book - and
took the exams.

Subject: RE: OCP Exams - What to study out of?
Ken - Wow, I'm impressed. I took and passed one APICS module
years and years
ago and I can testify that they aren't
easy. And I took the module related
to my daily
job.
Can you share any tips on how to
study for the SQL exam? I find I learn
MUCH more from
someone that was forced to reassess their strategy than from
people that say "oh, I took the manual home two nights and breezed
through
it".

I agree that the SQL exam is very difficult. I've taken
it twice and missed
passing by just a couple of
points. But I will persist.
Interestingly enough when I got my APICS CPIM certification I
took six exams
and passed them all on the first
try. The passing grade is 90%.
