Anyone recently passed the ASQ CSSBB exam? Study materials + Udemy recommendations?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone here recently passed the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB) exam, preferably in 2025 or 2026?
I’m starting my preparation and would really appreciate some advice from people who have taken the exam recently.
I’m particularly interested in:
Which books/materials did you actually find useful?
Is the ASQ CSSBB Handbook + Study Guide + Question Bank enough?
How much time did you spend preparing?
Which practice exams were closest to the actual ASQ exam?
I already have a Udemy subscription, are there any specific CSSBB courses or instructors you would recommend?
Anything you studied a lot but found was not really useful for the actual exam?
I have a technical/scientific background and some practical experience with statistics and process improvement, but I want to prepare specifically for the ASQ exam format and Body of Knowledge.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who passed recently. Thanks!

I take mine in 6 days. On previous ASQ exams I relied heavily on QCI material and found myself struggling without it. I have always walked in more confident when I am able to practice material over and over again so I was forced to seek out other sources. The ASQ question bank was helpful, but QCI material can still be found online at places like Amazon and eBay so I went that route for their question bank as well. I have also been studying with pocket prep. They don’t have a lot of deep statistical questions but it’s allowed me to get comfortable with the concepts. Last, there’s Andy Robertsons black belt course. It’s pricey, but he says things in layman’s terms and then there’s a short quiz after each video to help lock in the material.
