Note: The 2003 Certified SolidWorks Professional Exam consists of 3 sections. The writ-
ten test (which is similar to this sample test), the basic skills modeling test and the
advanced skills test (both of which involve hands-on modeling).

We recommend designing and building all the models and drawings from our Essentials,
Advanced, and Sheet Metal training manuals before taking the CSWP exam.

Good Luck,
