Seven Steps to Studying for an SAP Certification Exam

     If you are trying to get certified in an area that you actually know nothing about, this might also work, but I have real reservations about trying to pass yourself off to clients and employers as someone who ‘knows’ the area you are certified in. If you are a ‘fresher’ then a ‘certification’ is about the only way to separate yourself from the competition.



      Read all the SAP implementation and training manuals and other published books you can. Highlight portions you need to remember, and take notes in the manuals as you read. If you don’t have access to SAP training manuals, there are hundreds of good SAP books for sale at Amazon.com.


      Page through each SAP manual and take written notes on everything you highlighted, including questions you have at this point.


      Identify your weak areas. Find an SAP expert to answer your questions. Schedule an hour or two to ask your questions and get answers. Pay this person, if appropriate.


      Study your notes repeatedly–if you have to, memorize key areas that you think you will be tested on.


      Write your own exam based on your notes (and the manuals you read) and what you think will be covered. Then take the exam and see if you can answer the questions you wrote.


      Relax, keep reading your notes. Keep refining the exam you wrote, and retake it.


      Get a good night’s sleep, and review your notes once or twice more before the exam. By this point you should know everything in your notes, and passing the SAP certification exam should be a breeze.
