PA考试策略
The following is a list of general strategies that may help you when approaching the SAP exam.
• General Questions are randomly generated from a larger database of questions. The questions are organized by topic as found in the topics do***ent. Each topic area has a weighting factor that determines the number of questions that will be selected from each of the topic areas. This do***ent will help you understand where the emphasis on the exam will be.
• Don't read too far into the question. It is not SAP's intent to be tricky. This is a common pitfall by the experienced ABAPers. They know what takes place at a lower level and can therefore make wrong assumptions as to what is being tested.不要将题目读的太深，SAP 不是为了迷惑大家
• Sometimes code is missing in the actual question ie. Call Function....with no import/export statements or a SELECT with no ENDSELECT. You will have to make some assumptions. Remember that you are (usually) being tested on concept and not syntax.
• In the case where only one answer is allowed and it appears that 2 answers could in fact be correct, ask yourself which answer actually tests the concepts you have learned in the course or which is most correct
• Be aware of the use of terminology. Sometimes terms are used interchangeably to refer to the same thing. Examples of this are as follows:
extract dataset = intermediate dataset
SAP Memory = SPA/GPA memory
Detail List = Secondary List
Program Exit = Function Exit
• You can expect up to 50% of the questions to have more than one correct answer.50%以上的题目都有一个以上的答案
• Multiple answers do not appear to be treated as right minus wrong. Part marks are awarded. It is not an all or nothing. Each answer in a multiple choice question should be treated as a True/False situation and must be answered explicitly or you will only receive partial marks. 多选题不是或对或错，答对部分也能得分。并不是要么全对要么全错。
• Multiple answer type Questions with more than 4 choices appear to be worth more marks than questions with 4 or less choices 有四个以上选项的多选题比只有四个或少于四个选项的多选题分值更高
• Pace yourself i.e. 80 questions over 180 minutes
• Be sure to bring photo ID to the exam !!!

 SAP will define at SAP’s discretion the releases for which examinations will be offered and their validity in time.
 SAP may offer a delta-certification test to upgrade the certificate for a particular release so that it is valid for the subsequent release. Delta-certification test candidates must hold the certificate for the current release. Possession of the certificate for aback-level release does not entitle a candidate to admission to a delta-certification test. SAP reserves the right to include in delta-certification tests matters of general importance as well as matters specific to the new release.
 To administrate the certification program SAP or its subsidiary stores and processes data concerning persons in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions.

 SAP will hold the results of the examination in a database in order to be able to ascertain, if necessary, what certification a candidate holds and whether a candidate can be admitted to other examinations. SAP may also use the data held to provide targeted information to certified candidates and to enable candidates to retrieve specific information. SAP may also inform others of successful candidates’ certification.

5. Amending and Replacing Certificates
 If a certificate is lost, the SAP international subsidiary will issue a replacement.
 Successful candidates must inform the SAP international subsidiary in writing of any change of address, of name, or of employer, or of any other relevant change, attaching official do***ents and a statement by the new employer, as appropriate.
