Exam blueprints

You will be wondering what exactly you should study to be sure you have covered all the relevant materials that are included in the exams. The CCBA® and CBAP® exams are predominantly based on the BABOK® v3 Guide's content, and although it is important for you to study the entire BABOK Guide's content (using this study guide alongside the BABOK® v3 Guide), it is useful to understand the distribution of questions by reviewing the exam blueprints. Let's take a look:

Note that each knowledge area mentioned here also includes the techniques associated with the knowledge area, and therefore you should take care to include this in your studies.

Knowledge Area	CBAP® Exam % of Questions	CCBA® Exam % of Questions
Business Analysis Planning and Monitoring	14%	12%
Elicitation and Collaboration	12%	20%
Requirements Life Cycle Management	15%	18%
Strategy Analysis	15%	12%
Requirements Analysis and Design Definition	30%	32%
Solution Evaluation	14%	6%

Although this breakdown of exam question coverage gives you some indication of where the emphasis of questions will lie, it should just be used as a rough indication and should not influence your focus of study too much. It is more important that you focus on the knowledge areas where you know you need a deeper knowledge and understanding rather than focusing your time on the exam blueprint's distribution.
