Preparing for ABAP Certification (C_TAW12_70) ????

ABAP_exam_preparation

Lets assume that you are going for the ABAP Certification via SAP – Teched.If you are not aware of SAP Teched just have a look on its site. In short Sap Teched is an event which organised by SAP Every year Which includes Certification exams.(In India it is only in Bangalore).Check out the article How to apply in SAP Teched :

Let’s say you have 2 months of time and every day you can spend 1.5 hour for Study.

(Note: This 1.5 hour does not include activities like : chatting with your Boyfriend / Girlfriend or Office work   )

So you have around 90 hours to prepare for the certification.

In these 90 hours you need to go through the below topics:

Competency Importance

Way(s) to attain

Topic

Primary

Alternative

Other

Articulate, explain, describe, and outline solutions and processes in…

60%

NetWeaver Overview TAW10 NW001 SAPTEC
ABAP Workbench usage TAW10 BC400, BC401
ABAP debugger program usage TAW10 BC400, BC402
ABAP types and data objects TAW10 BC400
Internal table definition and use TAW10 BC400
SQL statements incl. update strategies TAW10, TAW11 BC400, BC414
ABAP Dictionary TAW10 BC430
Unicode TAW11 BC402
Classical screens (dynpros) and selection screens TAW10 BC400

Basic ABAP programs and interfaces creation TAW10 BC400, BC402
Class identification analysis and design TAW12 BC401
Enhancement and Modifications TAW12 BC425, BC427
Table relationships TAW10 BC430
Webdynpro for ABAP

Topic listed In

  • Black colour has             less than 8%
  • Brown colour has           8 to 12 %
  • Red colour  has                  above 12 % cert. weightage.

These figures are given by SAP. For Certification I recommend you ABAP in 21 days + all TAW10-12 books.

It will be good if you go through these books once and i guess 90 hours will be enough for this

Note : Topic like Webdynpro for ABAP and Unicode will not be covered more effectively in these books so you need to prepare those topic on your own.

Check out the below links to download TAW10-12 materials & ABAP in 21 days.

Download all TAW Materials:

Note : TAW 11 E is a elearning course, so you won’t find any book.

ABAP in 21 days

ALL TAW and ABAP in 21 Days – Provided by one of our member Vijendra Karada

After completing these books it will be good if you practice the Q&A.

Even you can start looking at the sample question given by SAP :  Check out Sample questions

Don’t become too much over confident as these questions are very simple and don’t lose the hope as after finishing all books it will be child’s play for you.

Also check out  SAP ABAP online Quiz (it requires  to create an account, Don’t worry it is just 30 Seconds job!!!)

Things need to be taken care during exam:

The last year Exam format was:

  • Contains 80 questions in 3 hours.
  • All questions will be multiple choices and no partial marking is there(it means no mark will be given to you if you tick on 2 correct answers out of three correct one).
  • For a question which has multiple answers, they will specify how many correct answers are there.
  • No negative marking   (I can see smile on your face!!!! :-) )

Tips for the certifications:

  • Try to read F1 help for all the basic syntax so that it will clear your basics.
  • 3 hours is quite big time to write 80 questions So give 5 mins of time for reading the rules first.
  • In exam they will not going to ask  stupid questions like Which  transaction code or function can be used to do XYZ tasks,etc, So don’t waste your time in mugging up Tcode & function modules.

At last Best Of luck for your exam.

      Hi ,
      1 month is enough to go with the Study for c_TAW12_70 exam as you are already done with the 04.
      The thing is C_TAW12_04 will contain almost 40-60% of course of C_TAW12_70(Advance topics are added into the NW 7.0 cert.) exam. so don’t worry.
      Go to sap site and compare the syllabus for both the exam

      thanks..

        Thanks Raj for your reply,
        I was wondering about the complete academy course for the C_TAW12_70 exam. I have TAW_10_1_EN_col63, TAW_10_2_EN_col63, TAW_12_1_EN_col63, TAW_12_2_EN_col63. Is that all?
        I don’t have TAW11 or TAW11 E, Do you have any information about how to get them or any alternatives for them?
        Also..do you know what’s the passing score for this exam? I heard it’s 65%.
        Thanks.

    Hello again,
    In the syllabus you mentioned above there is no mention of BDC’s and BAPI’s
    but in the article titled “My journey to abap certification” , he mentions a question about BAPI..my question is how accurate is this? Do i have to read the whole pdf including things not mentioned in the syllabus?

    Hi,

    I’m preparing for certification in ABAP… There’s a section in TAW12_1 where after the dialogue programming they ve a section before which there is a note saying this part is optional & is not a part of standard course….Can someone tell me what is it exactly?
    Is the part of LUWs & DB locks mentioned in that part not a part of the certification????

      Hi Reshma,

      there is a note saying this part is optional & is not a part of standard course
      It means that it is not part of standard course TAW12 and all, SAP Provides the standard course based on the books.So dont confused by those words,
      Anyway Regarding the topics like LUW & DB locks.
      There will be very less question from these topics may be 2-3 rarely.But it will be good for learning and certification purpose that you finish it.

      Go through the below article to get an idea of certification question.

      Hi Arun,
      The book on ABAP certification by Puneet Astana and David Haslam is good as it would make sure that you don’t leave any key concepts unread and practicing questions will fine tune your concepts.
      Moreover I would always recommend you to go through all the TAW materials properly. Please note that all TAW materials are extremely important.

      Thanks

      Hello ,
      In SAP you should not worried about the meaning of the codes.(i.e. Tcode or Certification codes etc.. )
      In C_TAW12_70
      C= Associate level
      TAW12 = Course code for ABAP certification
      70 = Netweaver Version.

      Hello Siva,
      Select first the certification you want to do.
      if it is ABAP Please read the article properly you will get it the required information.
      If it is functional certification like Sales / Finance.search it on google you will get sites about it.

      Thanks

    Dear All,
     
    I have doubts.. Please help me..
    In Dec 2010, i took ABAP course, it’s e-learning system.. i learned from saponeworld.com
    When i checked SAP Ignite and download all TAW e-books.. Those books are same with my books which i got from the course..
    I am planning to get certification.. What should i do ?
    Is there any option to choose Netweaver 2004 exam only in SAP ?  :-(
    OR
    i only have one choice.. that is proceed with Netweaver 7.0 exam ?
    if that is only the choice.. What should i do ? Where should i start to learn ?
    Could you give me the material ?

      Hello Jyoti,
      What i suggest is , Don’t just start sap abap training from any institute if they are not able to
      provide the job placement.
      Try to join a compnies like TCS , INFY or any other which has SAP Practice .So that you they will
      train you in the sap abap.

      Get back if i am not clear.

      Thanks & Regards,

    Hi All,
    Apologies for a silly question that i’m gonna ask :-P
    what this TAW12_40, TAW12_70…n stuff  like that.  right at the begning of the blog, it was mentioned that ABAP certification means TAW12_70, then whats this TAW12_40, and what about TAW10, and TAW11, and remaining TAW12 series??  im so confused !!

    yes, one more question:
     i’m working with accenture, trained in ABAP, but got no project in ABAP, as there was no project at that time, so those guys pushed me into testing. so i have zero work-exp in ABAP.  now the questoin is that i have heard it requires minimum of 6mnth of work experience to appear for SAP-ABAP certification (if i take this certification without any training) ? is this true? 

    please frendz help me out :(   
    thanks to all in advance :)

      Hello Aiman,

      Its obvious question from the freshers in SAP ABAP regarding the names of the ceritfication and books.
      TAW* its the name given to the books for certification.
      ( if you search in the dictionary you will find the meaning as a large marble , Don’t know why name is given like that :-) but
      what i can guess is its the duration of the course. TAW10 -> 10 days course )

      Now regarding the second part.. TAW12_40 and TAW12_70 its specify the version where 70 is latest.

      huh….. It was nice question though :-)

      Commenting on your second half.

      Officially : you need minimum 1 year to appear for the certification which includes 1 end to end implementation project too.
      But if you are confident about your ABAP Programming skill you can apply.
      Please go through the above comments to know how you can apply for the certification.

      Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Raj,

    I am a big fan of your Blogs.
    I am Planning to appear for C_TAW12_70 exam in the month of April.
    People are telling that the questions in Tech ed are easy.This stops me in doing the certification now.Please guide me.:( whether to go for certification now or through tech-ed.Please let me also know if there are any difference in passing percentage also .

      Hi Seetha,

      There is no significance difference between Teched Certification or Direct one.
      **The only major difference is $ :-) As you will get discount in Teched.
      The passing percentage is decided every year so can change a bit.But Question and every thing will be of same level.

      What i suggest you is ,if you are ready mentally go for the certification right now it self.
      But if you can wait for few more months like till oct-nov then you can try it in Teched.
      ( Make sure your manager is ready to send you for teched )
      You will get two advantages in it : 1) you will get almost 40% discount on the fees for certification
      2) you will get a chance to attend the Teched ( Which is a very good experience )

      *Get back if i am not clear.

      Thanks & regards,

      Hi Sanil,

      Try to chose the course which gives you job assurance.
      for freshers it will be quite tough to get into SAP field if you are not given platform.

      Hi Marlina,

      You are correct that 04 is older version of the exam.
      it does not contain the advance topics like Webdynpro for abap and unicode .
      What i suggest is finish the C_TAW12_04 training and try to get the knowledge for the other topics which i mentioned like Webdynpro for abap and Unicode.
      So it will be same like C_TAW12_70/71.

      Please get back if you are not clear.

    I have only a little bit knowledge on C++. But I am not at all good in coding. Though I have taken admission for SAP ABAP. I have to sit for exam on June. But still I am not understanding that much the topics. Now I have decided that I will study only for the certification exam. So please suggest me which book will be easy for me to prepare for the exam. Please reply me soon Sir. Many thanks. :)

      Hello Pallavi,

      If you are not enjoying coding go for functional certification and if you cant go back try below things..

      Try to go to the certification question mentioned in the article : http://sapignite.com/abap-certification-our-journey/

      And http://sapignite.com/my-journey-to-abap-certification/

      Regarding books you can try to get the book
      “SAP Certified Development Associate — ABAP with SAP NetWeaver ”

      Hope its help you out.If I am not clear please get back .

Now, I am planning to make career from End user to SAP Consultant and have a lot confusion which module to choose, either BASIS or ABAP module.

    I had completed my B.E in E&CE in 2007 from VTU and also want to know pre requisite to learn both BASIS and ABAP.
    Can you advice me which module to choose.Waiting for your valuable suggestions..Regards,Sandeep

      Hi Sandeep,

      If you like coding ( like C , C++ during your college days ) you should go with ABAP .
      But if you feel like doing configuration and monitoring work BASIS will be good for you.

      Both are really in demand right now So what ever you select its good only.

      Thanks & regards,
