Ralph Fulwood Posts: 56 Re: CSSBB exam guide Posted: Apr 30, 2008 9:20 AM   Reply "I am not affiliated with QCI" I have used the Primer and Exam Bank CD from QCI for CSSBB and found them to be extremely useful. Another great reference is Juran's Quality Control Handbook. Good luck in you efforts, Ralph Fulwood CSSBB CQE CQA CQM/OE Message was edited by: Ralph Fulwood

David Hill Posts: 2 Re: CSSBB exam guide Posted: Apr 30, 2008 1:40 PM   Reply I have found many instances where the CSSBB question bank is wrong. For Instance: The questions asks what is the proper sample size to detect a .02 shift in the Mean, if the std. deviation is .05 and the mean is 2.5 at a 95% confidence level. I answered : not enough information to figure this out, which was one of teh available choices. The said the the answer was 25. with no explanation. Everywhere I have reserached the answer requires an estimate of Beta, prob. of type II error. or Power Estmate, you can get the N= 24.xx round up to 25, if you ignore Beta. Am I wrong? is ASQ Right? This is not the first question and answer I thought was wrong. I hope this study guide has not messed up my understanding on key topics.

Ralph Fulwood Posts: 56 Re: CSSBB exam guide Posted: Apr 30, 2008 3:16 PM   Reply I have not used the ASQ CSSBB exam bank, I used QCI's and any time I had a question, I simple called them up and they were able to either explain or one case actually correct where they had an error. I found QCI most helpful in clearing the haze to understand the construct and answer of their questions. Ralph Fulwood

John A. Conte, P.E Posts: 182 Re: CSSBB exam guide Posted: May 7, 2008 1:03 PM   Reply I have had experience with the ASQ Exam Bank, the QCI primer, and QCI CD for CQE exam preparation. (I teach CQE Exam preparation courses.) The QCI material is good and has the advantage of a feedback loop on questions and answers over the past twenty plus years. The ASQ exam question bank is very new, does not have as good of explanations to some of the questions but the questions are modern (unlike some of the QCI questions). I have used the term modern to mean "does not conform to the ASQ Item-Writing Manual" criteria for a question. For instance the following question which appeared on the 1972 CQE exam and appears in the QCI Primer and QCI CD would not be allowed on the current exam or in the ASQ exam bank because it tests three main ideas and the criteria states that it can only test one main idea. It is therefore too complicated for the current exam. "Two components A and B are working in series as a system. Component A has an exponential failure rate of 3 x 10E-04 failures per hour. Component B is normally distributed with a mean of 600 and a standard deviation of 200 hours. Assuming independence, calculate the reliability of the system after 200 hours. (Answer 0.92)"

Jawaharali Mohaideen Posts: 27 Re: CSSBB exam guide Posted: May 6, 2008 2:34 AM   Reply Dear Tan, I used QCI Electronic Exam CD in my preparation for CMQ/OE & CQA exams in 2007 and found immensely useful. Hopefully the QCI primer and CD is enough for preparation, but it all depends on your current knowlege and experience in the BoK. I don't have any idea about ASQ Question bank.
