Inventor Certification Exams

[uagrad89]

This may be the wrong place to post this question, so if it is I apologize.

I will be attending AU and will take the AutoCAD certified user and professional exams, which I don't anticipate having problems with. Last year I took the Inventor user and professional exams and while I thought the user exam was a little difficult but definitely passable, I thought the professional exam was very difficult and touched on a lot of things that I have not dealt with in the program. I would like to know if there is a good book available that walks through some of the topics that are covered in these exams that I might be able to use to study over the next couple of months to try to prepare for these exams.

There seems to be a dearth of good Inventor instruction books out there since Short & Dudek stopped publishing theirs. If anybody knows of any others I would greatly appreciate the information.

You can send an email to me directly at derek.goodson@uafs.edu or just respond here, either one.

Thanks in advance for any information.

Check out Banack and Jones book (I think it is keyed to the exams)
and Curtis Wagunsp..... I don't know - search Amazon
and there are some prep classes here http://au.autodesk.com from last year.

I think there is also a practice exam on the website (I thought the real exam was easier than the practice exam).

Where are you located (we offer a prep class where I work).

There was a very very good free prep series at http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity , but it expired a month or so ago. Oh well!
