NTI CSWA Exams are a go!
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...All, Today (Oct 16, 2007) NTI began our 1st CSWA exams. So far I am very impressed with the results both in total score and in broken out categories. In speaking with others that have taken the exam and some inside knowledge of the test the anticipated pass rate ranges between 50 - 75%. As of right now, we are within that rate.
After taking the test myself I truly believe that this test could easily be used with any CAD modeling program out there. The test is geared more to the students’ ability to interpret poor sketches and develop accurate models from those interpretations. Those who will be taking this test next week should abide by these recommendations: take your time - you have 3 hours (use them), pay attention - to the entire problem and question, double check your answers, but do not over analyze them, and finally,
This is a test that we just became proctors for. The next sets of exams are on Oct 22 & 23. I will keep you posted.

Hello All,
CSWA exams were completed Oct 23. Overall I am very happy with the results on this 1st go around. We had a 67% pass rate. Not bad considering the averages I have heard about were between 50-75%. Lets me know there is room for improvement.
Anyhow, many of our graduating class have been asking about their certificates. To mu knowledge no one has received their certs yet. I will be checking into this Nov 16th. Have no fear - I will get your certificates to you.

Here is a bit of news for all of you who took the exam:
1. National average for passing is 62%. Our average was 67%.
2. One of our students received a 20% increase at the company they are working for when they passed the certification.
Great job NTI Students!
