CSWP - Free online to subscription users

I am curious to hear from anyone who has taken the online CSWP test.
It is free to subsciption users if you register before December 31st
and take it by jan 31.

I have read a few of the posts on the Solidworks website's forum but
would like to hear from more people. It seems as though the example
illustrations that yoiu must follow are isometric views with
dimensions and that they can be difficult to interpret.

If you have taken advantage of this offer please post your comments.
I am sure I am not the only one looking for info on this subject.

i took both tests at the end of october for free.
passed both tests.

yes, the isometric view is misleading (i believe deliberately).

since the test is progressive (the model builds off the previous question),
if you get the first question wrong there is no way to get the remaining
questions correct in that group.

Bet jb never could.
Probably needs a legal copy too.
16 hours of claimed videos probably does not do it.

 

If you read the forums, you know about my attempt (SW crashed and work
wasn't saved). I think the isometric views are misleading, but I also
think how they are presented is poorly conceived, and the problem
descriptions are a bit too sloppy to be called misleading, but rather
poorly written.

It's funny you say that Art because I've seen people go through the
tutorial and become productive in SW. They certainly won't be building
cell phones and they mess up a lot on large assemblies, but the exam
doesn't test that kind of smarts either. Sometimes it is hard to say
what an exam like this is testing. Is it testing your knowledge of how
to pull the levers or how to get things done. Is it after best
practice or just being obtuse. I suppose it would be fair to put in
some difficult interpretation as long as it was correct and
unambiguous as a check to see that the test taker had the background.
But as you say, 40 years is hard to argue with and you probably
started out with a 4H pencil and lots of contructions which most
yununs would be puzzled by..
