    How does the CLSA multiple choice exam differ from the CSSA exam? Is the body of knowledge any different?

    Really guys....Stop asking for the sample questions. If you look at Pega terms and conditions you will understand that it is against their policy to publish the questions.... Prepare according to the Exam Blueprint and you will pass the exam for sure...

    Please note that I personally do not encourage preparing for the exam with question dumps, best way is to prepare by reading PDN articles, PRPC help and implement what you learned on the PRPC product itself.

    Furthermore Pega is offering Paid materials for CSSA and CLSA. Please get the required access through your Partnering Company.

    Thank you

    Hi indrajith,
    I plan on doing the CSSA Exam for the version 6.2. Will it be enough to go through this list of links and docs and do the exam?

    Hi indrajith,
    I'm planning to take Pega CSSA 6.2, but the topics/subtopics underline in the blue print is very precise. There are many new features in the version 6.2 like DSM, predictive analytics, branching rulesets etc. but none of these are listed in the 6.2 blue print. Is there any one who took the exam and can help listing out the topics they have come across int eh exam apart from the ones listed in the blue print will be very useful. Thanks in advance for yor help.


    Thank you,
    Saras

    I just took the Pega CSSA exam and I failed miserably. 57%. I prepared by completing the Blue Print, by going through PDN and collecting all related articles and info, and memorized that. I also studied the Question Dumps- which I highly recommend! What makes the Test so difficult?:
    1. 90% of the questions you have to select 2 or more answers. A lot of the basis is "Select all that are true/false", "The Difference between x and y is"
    2. The questions are worded very tricky. You can get an idea of the tricky word play from the question dumps. But that only helps with about 10% of the exam.
    3. Some of the content is not what one would study going strictly by the Blue Print. It may be on PDN somewhere if you dig really deep.
    4. The question are very precise. Even for those areas I know really well, and have actually worked with on actual Projects, some of the questions had aspects I just hadn't used before.

    To me, this isn't really designed to see how well you know and can function in PRPC. The exam is decided to see if you can apply what you know to a very difficult logic scenario, determine which one word makes the statement untrue, and apply what you know and some other applicable knowledge.

    Sorry I'm not trying to sound so negative!! But my advice is to study every single thing on PDN, and really analyze all the data and think of it in terms of a testing scenario. What can this feature do, but most importantly, what can it not do.

    Good Luck!!

Creating custom rules in PRPC

You can find the first part of this post from here What do you think one of the frequently asked question in PDN forum, any guesses?, it's about Excel integration with PRPC, but ironically by the time of this writing PRPC still does not support a rule based approach to the problem of Excel integration. So are we in a dead-end, frankly not. Due to the elegant design of PRPC, we can create our own custom rule to accomplish the task.   Welcome to the second post of the series "Creating custom rules in PRPC", as I pointed out in the first post, in this post I am planning to systematically lay down the steps that need to be taken in order to create a custom rule. Word of caution: Most of the things I am writing here are, what I called observable knowledge, meaning - understanding how something works literally by observing the system and in case of PRPC reading the rules in the system without going through a formal How-To docume

Creating custom rules in PRPC – Introduction

Image
Pega Rules Process Commander is such a wonderful product. It is built so elegantly with layer upon layer of abstraction so that a normal business user can easily change the runtime behavior in order to adjust to the changing business conditions without going through a typical development cycle. At the same time it is a mixture of J2EE technologies, bunch of browser based thin client technologies and more importantly a wonderful design that has the unique feature of "ability to be extended in multiple layers", where a person could not distinguish whether a feature is out of the box or custom made. All these are possible due to the initial wonderful design of PRPC. One of the best things that the designers of PRPC have done is, even though there are multiple layers of abstraction, they have given us, the end developers a chance to extend the core product through custom rule creation. Before creating custom rules first let's get a clear understanding to the question &quo
