Is there any folk who can help me find most authantic books for CQE & CQA.
I have been the member of ASQ & i know there are alot of books out there (I have a catelog as well) but I want to take someone's assistance in this regard.
I would start with the auditor exam; it is easier and the CQE contains some questions on auditing that you would then be prepared for.
Lots of people study with the Indiana Quality Council Primers with success, but I don't like them. I don't think they have enough information, and are too cumbersome for the testing classroom desks I have always used. Instead, to prepare for exams I use Quality Audit Handbook by ASQ Press, and Thomas Pyzdek's books from Quality America.
Juran's Quality Control Handbook is considered the default resource for advanced quality engineering principles. Do
not try to read that book; instead, do learn to look things up in it; it is an excellent reference.
I, as well as others, believe in taking practice exams. Both Indiana Quality Council and Quality America put out good exam question CDs. I thought Quality America's version was more accurate and repeated fewer questions.
For statistics, my weakest subject, I used Quality Engineering Statstics by Dovich and CQE Quick Reference Notes by Dovich, Nutt and Johnson. When I took the exam, notes in books were allowed. The last book I mentioned had lots of room for notes, which both helped me learn and was a useful exam reference. I would use a maximum of three reference books at exam time.
I hope this helps!
