Objective question book for certification

[labviewmission]

Hi,

I was preparing for my first level certification CLAD. I wanted to know if there is any book on the objective questions . I have already cleared the fundamental test at ni.com. I am looking for more practise.

Anyone who has given the test or plan to give one, please post some ways of preparing for the exam.

Also how hard it is ?

Any special tips for 2006 exam?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am preparing for the exam by reading basic I and Basic II books.

I have given couple of fundamental tests on the NI website.

Also I keep reading and answering  NI discussion posts to check on my knowledge about Labview.

Any other material that would be helpful in clearing the exam.

Also according to certification FAQs the passing percentage is 70% whereas the fundamental test results will declare you Pass only when you score more than 80 %.

What is actually the passing percentage for the exam?

Regards

Passing the test myself you are required by NI not to disclose any information so where do I start?  If you have been using LabVIEW for at least a year you should be fine.  The test is constantly changing so even if I were to tell you what to study it may be all different.  I guess the best advice would be able to inspect code without running it and know what LabVIEW result will be.  If you are comfortable with loops and shift registers and understand what the result of the code wold be then you should do OK.  I know the questions was what books would help the most.  I just looked at the LabVIEW manual and managed to do fine.  Another tip would to be study the things that you typically don't use or how it is implemented.  A book will help you to a point but you need to be comfortable with LabVIEW and its wide functionality.

Does this help?

you have given a very good point of knowing the results even without running it.

I shall practise that more.

Thanks for the info.

Since they printed this on the paper I was allowed to take out of the testing site, I believe I am safe in letting you know the 70% pass is the correct one.
