My SAP SD Certification Experience

Let me share my certification experience with you. Keep following things in mind when preparing for the exam:

1. Prepare as per the weightage per topics given in the syllabus.

2. Be very confident on sure shot questions from the topics like:
All determination rules - plant, material, pricing procedure, picking location, route, shipping point, tax, item category, account
determination etc. One question on effect of PGI.
35 to 40 % questions will come from control tables like sales doc types, item category , copy control , delivery doc. , del. Item cat. , billing docs , schedule lines etc .

So try and mug up all the imp. Control fields .Your preparation level should be such that once you close your eye and think of TAN or OR you should be able to see all the fields in your mind .

These above, are sure to shot and you cannot afford to do mistakes in this sections.

3. Go through the screens, transaction level screens like sales order, delivery, billing, delivery list, billing due list, even standard reports etc. and check what is possible and what is not possible at each docs. What is defined at header and what is at item Go through the menu path of each docs and check what all is possible and from where it is coming. For example packing proposal and account determination analysis is possible at sales order.

4. Go through all the masters like customer, cust- material, material, > condition records for price, output, etc. Check what is defined at what level, what all is possible etc.

5. Check entire IMG - SD related, it will help you to understand what is defined at what level etc.

6. In exam be very careful with the sap English, particularly with the words like can, only, always, except. Read question very carefully. Sap statements in the exam will be always confusing, so think logically and holistically before exam.

7. Don't take any chance in preparation but always sticks to core basics, they will not ask configuration, but they will ask you what is possible and what is not and where it is defined.

8. Last but not least have confidence, how much a guy who have studied for 5 weeks is suppose to know that standard will be asked . Prepare well you will definitely succeed.

My SAP PM Certification Experience

Please note that questions can be very different to what I had in Australia.

In my exam, we did not need to remember menu paths however there were a number questions on config settings...but to pass, they do need a deep understanding of PM functionality and how it all fits together. It will also help a lot if they have a good understanding of how a maintenance business works and been working in maintenance for a few years.

We had questions and up to 4-5 sub questions for each question (not all of them though). The exam has a time limit of 3 hours and the fee is non refundable if you fail..

From what I know, there are many different exam questions in the question bank. I really don't remember specific questions, just the type of questions. My advice is;

1. Attend all the SAP courses. SAP said there is nothing in the exam that is not in the courses.

2. Practice as often as you can in a DEV client, configuring things and seeing how they work, running transactions etc.

3. Practice with a friend, try and find difficult questions to ask each other and work out together how things work. Make a competition of it.

4. Open the PM menu path then open every transaction in it, read the help for each transaction ... even if you think you know it.

5. Understand the relationship between sap objects, such as costs and orders, overheads and costs, qualifications and orders, permits and tech objects etc.

6. Read the questions very, very, VERY carefully. They can be a little ambiguous (by design, to see if you know your subject).

7. One type of question they use is, 3 very similiar statements, but only one is right. Read carefully and think about it.

8. Try not to get too nervous and uptight before the exam. I did a little bit and it took a while to realise I actually knew the answers and it wasn't as hard as I first thought.

9. If you know SAP PM very well and read the questions carefully, you will find it fairly easy.

10. Have a look on Amazon books, there are a range of books supposedly giving sample questions for SAP certification exams, there may be one for PM by now.

As a note, When they give the exam, everyone gets a different exam and it is done electronically. It stops on the stroke of 3 hours, no extensions.
