My experience of SAP Certification Exam - ABAP C_TAW12_70 SAP

Name of the exam: C_TAW12_70 SAP Certfied Development Associate - ABAP with NetWeaver 7.0

I wrote my SAP certification test at an Pearson VUE Authorized training center. The test was supposed be started by 9:45 AM, but with lots of delays at last started at 10:20 AM.
There were 80 questions to answer. At the begining of the test, screen said that passing score is 52%. I was very happy to see that clarity.
There were no Yes/No questions and majority of them had more than one answers. Where it was more than one answer, the questions clearly mentioned the number of answers that were right.

The test had 15 sections and started with Webdynpro part with four questions. Questions were section wise. Each section had 2 to 10 questions. Number of questions were in proportion to the importance. Following is the list of sections in the order of number of questions asked.


1. Basic ABAP Programs and Interface creation (10 questions)
2. Classical screens and selection screens
3. Class identification, analyzation and design (7 questions)
4. SQL statements inclusive update strategies
5. Enhancements and modifications
6. Table relationships
7. ABAp dictionary
8. ABAP types and data objects
9. Internal table definition and use
10. Netweaver review
11. ALV Grid control
12. ABAP Webdynpro (4 questions)
13. ABAP workbench usage
14. Unicode
15. ABAP debugger program usage (2 questions)

The exam was trying to touch every concept in the syllabus so was never too deep on any one area. Overall the exam was easy and I could score 85%.

After the exam I received a two page exam result report giving % correct scores for each of above sections.

I bought this book for preparing for the SAP Certification. Though costly, I would suggest buying this, since you have already made a good investment in registering for the exam and would not want to risk endangering that investment.

The book gives you sample questions for each of the exam's 15 sections and by answering them you can evaluate if you are ready for the exam.

This book also gave me a summary knowledge on SAP's enhancement techniques. So I would suggest you to buy this book if you have registered for the exam.

Any Sample questions?
Do not expect any dump for this exam in the internet. SAP certifications carry the value in the market basically because of this fact. Sample questions are available over the internet in many places. Below are few links.
