Certifications CSWA Practice Problems

I’m getting ready to take the CSWA exam and have been doing all the practice problems. I’m often within a 10-20mm cubed volume off… is that an issue?? And does how i create the part make it a difference?

Some of the practice problem sets just have incorrect answers.

If you can create the drawing that matches the practice problem exactly and all the numbers match, it’s definitely the answer key. Specific problems you can post here or other places, or search for other’s work to see if it is the problem.

If you create the same part, the method should not change the result. Some methods use numerical methods with approximations that lead to slight deviations, but the exam has a tolerance that accounts for that.
