The ASQ CSSBB Study Guide

This book is primarily meant to aid those taking the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB) exam, and is best used in conjunction with The Certified Six Sigma Black Belt Handbook. Section 1 provides 432 practice questions organized by the nine parts of the 2015 Body of Knowledge (BoK). Section 2 gives the reader a 150-question practice exam comprising each of the nine parts of the BoK, in a randomized order that simulates the actual certification exam. Unlike other resources on the market, all these questions and solutions were developed specifically to address the 2015 CSSBB Body of Knowledge and help those studying for the certification, including considering the proper depth of knowledge and required levels of cognition.

Although this handbook thoroughly prepares individuals for the ASQ CMQ/OE exam, the real value resides in post-exam usage as a day-to-day reference source for assessing quality applications and methodologies in daily processes. The content is written from the perspective of practitioners, and its relevance extends beyond traditional product quality applications.

The answers to each chapter’s questions appear at the end of the chapter. The correct answer is given by letter, along with the location of the topic and page number and paragraph (or other locator) in the second edition of The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook.

The ASQ CSSYB Study Guide is primarily meant to aid those taking the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt (CSSYB) exam and is best used in conjunction with The Certified Six Sigma Yellow Belt Handbook. Section 1 provides 151 practice questions organized by the five parts of the Yellow Belt Body of Knowledge (BoK) effective from March 2015 until March 2021. Section 2 gives the reader 136 additional practice questions from each of the five parts, in a randomized order. For every question in both sections, detailed solutions are provided that explain why each answer is the correct one and also which section of the BoK the question corresponds to so that any further study needed can be focused on specific sections. The provided solutions are taken from the same references used by the ASQ Item Writing teams who create the test items used in the formal Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certification examination.
