What are the Best Study Materials for the SSBB Exam?

Suggestions?

I have the QCI BB Primer and solution manual, what else will I need? What should I bring in to the exam? How should I prepare?

Good day capnkrk,

I passed the ASQ SSBB exam a couple of years ago. While I had purchased a great many books, most in statistics (my weakest subject) I found the single best source for the exam site was the ASQ SSBB Handbook. I brought a number of texts with me to the exam site and that one was the one I found the best overall success with as a reference.

I should add that I took a Masters level course in Business Statistics, which was a very big help for the statistics theory, and/or the actual problem solving.

I hope this helps!

I passed my SSBB certification last year and i took QCI BB Primer and I also made my hand written notes as 'quick sheets' where i wrote all the formulas and quick reference definitions and it help me to save a lot time.

Thanks for the replies, any other good advice out there??? I know there are more than 2 of you who have passed this.

Study tips, anything at all that you think might help me knock this off...thanks!!

Study tips: get the ASQ SSBB Handbook, and go through it cover to cover. Take notes, highlight text, work the math problems. Learn the theory: when to use a z test versus a t test, for example. Buy the practice exam disk and go through it more than once; use the text to look up the answers. I have found I learn a lot more when I am looking for something in a text than when just reading it.

I hope this helps!
