I am preparing to take the Certified Pharmaceutical GMP Professional exam. If you have taken this exam what were your impressions of it? What advice do you have for someone who wishes to take it?

I recently passed the test. I bought the handbook and the question bank from ASQ. Through my first try, I found out that additional information was required to be able to be used for reference. So, my recommendation is anytime that you run into a question that you can't answer with the Handbook, print the reference material and prepare it to bring it in for the exam day. Hope that helps!

Same to you.

The question bank lets you know where your strengths and weaknesses are. Take the primary materials with you. Prepare a list of top items in areas of your weakness that you can find quickly. If you dont have at least 5 years experience, dont bother. But you dont have to be an expert in everything to pass.

@David Woods I passed the exam last year from my first trial, it depends on several factors, your experience in pharmaceutical industries, reviewing of the guidelines and the handbook.
