My first SCP exam

 About to start my first SCP exam!

  • Thanks, everybody! For those who have asked, the Success Center's certification study guides really are all you need to pass the test. Reading the getting start guide, installation guide, and admin guide will not only help you pass--simply reading them will make you more effective at your job!

    I chose SAM first because it is where I have focused my time and energy in my role. That said, I think NPM makes the most sense for a follow-up because it really is the core of anything that uses the Orion platform.

  • Hi I am about to retake the SCP, I don't feel good about it.  I have spoke with several people who have taken the test and the guides available don't match the information that's on the exam.  Are there actual study guides for the SCP (SAM or NPM) that match the information on the test.  I have been directed to installation and administrative guides, this can't possibly be the study material.

    I am looking for assistance.

  • There truly is no better study material than hands on experience backed by the admin guide. I'm sure the virtual flash cards that were shared would also be helpful, but I have not yet seen them myself.
