Exam Tips

• ECBA™ is a test on your knowledge of BABOK®, not your knowledge and experience in your workplace.

• Answers need to be as prescribed in BABOK®.• Questions are straight forward.• Some questions come with with diagrams.• All questions had single statement answers.• Avoid answers which are prescriptive (i.e. words like HAVE TO, MUST

ALWAYS). BABOK® is a guide and not a law book.• Be careful with answers which say something should be absolute like

100% or 0%• Avoid terms which are not mentioned in BABOK®. Your exam is only on

the BABOK® Guide and therefore if it isn’t in there it won’t be an answer• Multiple options could be “technically” correct, but you will be tested on

the best option for that task. So ensure that you understand the descriptions in the spreadsheets provided

• Ensure you remember the different task names and definitions as they are often referred to in the exam to set up the structure of the question.
