I found the CQA examination from ASQ more conceptually demanding than I had prepared for initially, and had to extend my study timeline by several weeks as a result. PrepHow was particularly helpful in strengthening my understanding of Audit Planning and Quality Tools, areas where I had been losing confidence. I passed on my second attempt and the improvement in my performance between the two sittings was directly tied to how I used this resource.
