Exam Preparation
Exam Preparation
An ideal place to begin preparing for the CPUX Advanced Levels is the UXQB’s Documents Section ⤴. This contains a number of useful documents such as the respective syllabi, exam regulations and practice questions for the theoretical and practical parts, test reports, examples and more.
For a more in-depth preparation for the CPUX-UR certification, German-speaking candidates may want to refer to the official study book Praxiswissen User Requirements ⤴ by Thomas Geis and Knut Polkehn. Both authors are active members of the UXQB, meaning that this book goes beyond conforming to the CPUX-UR Syllabus and provides the necessary knowledge directly from the source.
