So there is no free/paid content to learn from and certification cost is quite high… :hb:

This can be all materials (guides, training manuals) that you get on an official training.

Hi,
Any idea about passing percentage for " SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence XI 3.x" certification?
Can anyone pls confirm on number of quetsions and time duration of exam?

SAP website showing like

No of Questions-80
Duration-180 Mins

Also “xi3_web_intelligence_rich_client_en.pdf” product guide is sufficient for exam preparation?

Thanks in Advance !!

Hi,

Have you gone through the sticky topic “BusinessObjects Certification FAQ”? Your above question is answered there:

i’ve seen this in a previous post "To appear for certification without attending any SAP course you need to fulfill the following criteria’s:

  • To appear for Associate level certification without attending any SAP course you need Minimum 1 year of SAP Implementation Experience with minimum of 6 months experience in the module and version in which you wish to take up certification. (Note that Support and testing experience is not accounted for direct certification in all SAP modules except ABAP)
  • The last 1 year should be with your present employer
  • Your present employer should be a CUSTOMER or PARTNER of SAP"
    Is it a worldwide criteria ?
    Moreover i’ve contacted SAP Education (france) about the certification and they don’t work anymore with Pearson VUE.
    There is now only one exam for the certification.

Please let me know.

Many thanks!

I have completed my SABE201, SABE301 and SABE401 in 2 years ago and received the certificate by mail after almost 1 year…!

I am a certified of BOCP now, do i have to sit for the upgrade exam SABE 501, passed it to get another certificate and to be certified as SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x ?

I just got a clarification from SAP, they said SABE501 is no longer exist, to get SAP Certified Application Associate - SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x, you need to sit for the exam code C_BOE_30, only one paper, and this is the latest exam.

For Webi and Admin exam, the fees are euro 400, damn expensive! Do you think?

Hi All,
I have these following two questions

  1. How the Test centers are different on SAP and Pearson Vue websites
  2. Will I get the Training material when I register for the exam which is listed as $500

MichaelWelter and Jansi,

Can you please update your FAQ’s according to the change of April 30, 2010 (latest certification) ?
http://wsvprd1b.pearsonvue.com/sap/

I found some confusions in your FAQ’s and want to quote but they are all locked. If you want I can provide you the FAQ’s number

Thanks,
Sheriey

I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time, but just haven’t had the time. I apologize for that. I’ll work with Jansi to get it done as soon as possible.

MichaelWelter :vatican_city: (BOB member since 2002-08-08)

Me too. We’ll speak and get this done by this long weekend if possible.

Hi,
I figured it out the answers myself by calling the Pearson Test center and SAP.

  1. How the Test centers are different on SAP and Pearson Vue websites
    They both are different but taking the same test. What ever is convenient for you, you can go with that. Pearson VUE is the only approved partner of SAP certification.

  2. Will I get the Training material when I register for the exam which is listed as $500
    No. Not only by registering the exam. That $500 is only for the certification fee. In order to get the SAP training material you need to register for SAP classes which are BOW310 and BOW320 (Instructor Lead) ($1150+$575) OR BOW315 and BOW325 (e-learning) ($695 each).

All the above mentioned information I receive by calling SAP Education Center

I don’t think I violate any rules by giving this information. I just want to make it easy for other people so they don’t have to go through all this.

Thanks,
Sheriey

Sheriey,

Thank you so much for getting that information. We’ll make sure to include it in the updated FAQ.

Hi,

I had done my BOE Certification in Dec 2010 and got a survey this week from SAP regarding the significance/role of 50% off coupon they had for last year. Looks like they may come up with something similar this year too.

Thanks,
