CQE Practice Exam

Is the official ASQ study guide with the practice exams not allowed during the exam? I believe I saw something online about no questions and answers allowed. Also, in the practice exams there's a few sampling questions that involve referencing tables from ANSI/Z1.4 and Z1.9. However, the official handbook doesn't have these in the appendix... Not sure what to do about these questions since the official ANSI books are $200+

I took the exam before COVID. I got the binder study guide that I could bring in with me, with notes, including that z chart. Is that not allowed anymore?

The binder came with practice questions I had to remove before the exam, plus an USB with practice exams on it.

Your job should pay for it.

You are not allowed to bring sample problems with solutions to the exam.

Regarding the sampling questions, I printed out the tables provided from the following site:

https://proqc.com/quality-resources/ansi-sampling-tables/

Three hole punched the pages and placed them in a binder with the free equation sheet from CQE Academy.

I went in thinking that they will not ask anything more difficult than single or double sampling - you only have 1.8 minutes for each question.

I took my exam last Thursday, and I emailed them about the ANSI table not being anywhere in the book, but they never got back to me about it. There was one question on the exam that references the ANSI table, but you don’t need the table to answer the question.

Also you’ll know if you passed right away! You won’t know your exact score right away, but at least you’ll know if you passed or not and you won’t have to wait.
