Preparing for the SAFe for Hardware (SHWA 6.0) certification? These SAFe for Hardware practice tests give you six short mock exams on applying Lean-Agile practices to hardware and cyber-physical systems, with every answer option explained.

What you get

• 6 mock exams with 20 questions each

• 120 exam-style questions in total

• Every option explained, so you see why the right answer is right and why each distractor is wrong

• Short, focused exams you can fit into a lunch break

Why practise with exam-style questions?

Hardware has constraints that software does not: long lead times, physical prototypes, supplier dependencies and costly late changes. The exam asks how SAFe practices adapt to these constraints. Practice questions test whether you can apply the ideas to a scenario, and the explanations show the reasoning behind each answer.

Exam domains covered

• Thriving in the Digital Age

• Building a Foundation with Mindset, Values, and Principles

• Develop Solutions Incrementally

• Build Solutions with Cross-Functional Agile Teams

• Accelerate Hardware Feedback Loops

• Apply Multiple Horizons of Planning

• Specify the Solution Incrementally

• Leading the Change

How to use the practice exams

1. Take each exam in one sitting. Allow 45 minutes per exam and work without notes.

2. Review every explanation. Read the explanations for the questions you got right as well as those you got wrong.

3. Note your weak domains. Keep a short list of the topics where you slipped.

4. Revisit the material. Go back to your course notes or the SAFe Framework website for those topics.

5. Move on to the next exam. Work through all six exams before you repeat any.

6. Retake the exams until you score 100% on all of them on your own and can explain why each answer is right, not just which option it is.
