I just received my CQPA results. I cleared it. This was my first exam in ASQ.

I had used the following reference materials for preparation.

1. Juran's Quality Handbook
2. CQPA Handbook (Available in Google Books - Online Version only)
3. Wiki

For CQPA exam takers, my suggestion is to just stick to the BOK. No less or no more, just BOK is more than enough. Almost all portions of the BOK was covered. So there's no point of omission.

All the best for future exam goers. Please feel free to ask for any help or query.

Vicky,

Google Books is always incomplete and I don't have a complete file...I just used to read some concepts which I didn't find in my reference books to be lucid. Good luck !

Ashok.
