Hi,
Today I subscribed for the Green Belt Study Guide. However when I try the first module (Quiz) I always receive the same error message (Login warning: There was an issue with your log in. Your user account has logged in recently from a different location.). Despite I logout from all my devices this error message does not seem to disappear. Any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
Thank you.

Hello There

I’d like to ask of you provide a six sigma green belt study guide book in addition to other resources such as the question bank and other resources.

Thank you very much

Hello,

I was looking up the pricing for the ASQ Black Belt course, and while I found the Green Belt was $127, I was unable to find pricing for the Black Belt. Can you let me know?

Thanks!

Hi Saad,

The PYSSGB course has helped many people prepare for their Black Belt exam. Certainly, if you cannot pass all of my mock exams and practice quizzes, you will not be ready for the Black Belt exam.

I offer a 30 day $ back guarantee. Why not give the PYSSGB course a try? If it’s not for you, I’ll be happy to give you a refund.

Best, Ted.

Thanks Ted.
I really will like to make a purchase but have further question.
(1) does the practice exam have explanatory and solution section for incorrect answers?
Thanks

Reply

I meant if I get an answer wrong, do you provide a section that explains the question and provides solution or calculation/steps for the answer?

Reply

Absolutely, Saad. Each of the tiers offers 700+ questions. Each question details not only why the right answer is correct, it describes why the wrong answer is a poor choice. For calculation questions there are expansive additional notes – entire pages dedicated to stepping through how to answer.

The Guided tier offers an exclusive forum where you can ask follow up questions on any of the questions in the entire guide.

The Custom tier offers a custom-made study plan as well as the ability to ask for more in-depth information on any topic.

8.7.2020 Hello Ted, I just took the Green Belt exam last night and was in shock. THe study information I was provided left me without any knowledge of about 30-38% of the test material. I love the Six Sigma concepts and will be successful. I need an honest break – an honest vendor who provides accurate info and practice exams, with answers to guide me through the next exam. Are the questions in your exams accurate?

Hello Ted,

Can you advise on the better certification – Lean 6 Sigma or Regular 6 Sigma? Does your program cover both?

Thank you,
John

Reply

Hi John,

I think both Lean and Six Sigma are both toolsets that professionals need. They are complimentary to each other. More important than the certification is who is doing the certifying. There are many ‘certification mills’ out there that are happy to charge you for a piece of paper.

My best advice is to look for others in your career path that have achieved what you want to achieve and mirror their certifications. If that’s not applicable, I recommend using ASQ. ASQ’s green belt and black belt certifications require understanding of both lean and six sigma.

My program covers both lean and six sigma and prepares candidates to pass a large variety of lean six sigma certifications from leading organizations like ASQ, IASSC, Villanova, and more.

Best, Ted.

Ted,

I have been conducting DMAIC projects since 2007 and certified under stringent criteria under the Department of Defense (U.S. Navy) guidelines as an LSS Black Belt. I retired in 2015 and have since been consulting on LSS across industries.

I would like to diversify my certification profile to ASQ and possibly IASSC and despite my deep fund of experience I do not want to take anything for granted. In fact, I know I have some sharp contrast in core belief and practices to both of the BoKs under ASQ and IASSC.

I have researched far and wide for a prep/tutorial package and your system and approach to communication stands tall amongst your competitors.

I would like to enroll in Black Belt level prep but I only see Green Belt on your site. Please advise where I can enroll for Black Belt Prep.

Hey Editors,

My name is Martin and I am the CEO & Co-Founder of Cleverism.com — a leading educational website that helps people actually get their dream job (we write super actionable and helpful career guides :-).

I stumbled upon your post on “Brainstorming” and I thought it was very insightful.

Over the last 2 weeks I wrote probably the most actionable and helpful guide on everything people ever wanted to know about idea generation, stages of successful ideation, successful idea generation techniques etc.

Ideas are things that come and go and fairly frequently too. However, the really great ideas usually spring unexpectedly in moments of inspiration. The generation of ideas can be stimulated using tools for creative thinking. By first recognizing the barriers to creativity and then exploring a range of techniques to develop new approaches to problems.

In this article we will include a short note on the three stages of successful ideation and 18 killer idea generation techniques. Any chance you’d include our actionable guide on “Idea Generation Techniques” (https://www.cleverism.com/18-best-idea-generation-techniques/) in your awesome article (https://sixsigmastudyguide.com/brainstorming/)?

Hi Sam,

I have an IT background and you’re right; Six Sigma topics are seeing a huge resurgence these past few years in the Big Data, Quality 4.0, AI/Machine learning / Analytics space.

I personally have used Six Sigma topics and practices to deliver massive value through out my software delivery career. I encourage others to do so.

If you’re in the Software delivery space, I’d recommend Scaled Agile Framework. If you’re in the IT Infrastructure space, I really like The Phoenix Project for this.

HI Ted, I took an online study course which gave a broad overview and some practice exams and projects but was missing Step-by-Step explanations on how to solve the many types of statistical math problems.

Also I’m quite rusty when it comes to the statistical math that is needed to sit for the exam. During the online course it was difficult for me to determine which formula to use and when to do look ups for z-score and t-score tables.

Overall, I would need some help if getting comfortable with the math problems. Do you offer step-by-step help and personalized guidance and “how to do examples” on the math problems?

You’re in luck! The Guided course options are arranged BOTH in topic order, subtopic order, AND at the end of the course there are full-length mock exams. You don’t get access to just 1000 questions, you get access to a full study guide that helps you assess what you need to do and then helps you zero in on the specific weak areas that you need to improve on. See some screen shots of what you get here.

Hi. I have a question for you. I will be happy if you help
question:
A manufacturing company operating in Germany exports pistons abroad. The buyer company wants to prove that the production is made in six sigma quality. You are an engineer working at the factory and the manufacturing chief asks you to calculate what the standard deviation of the process should meet. The diameter tolerance range of the pistons in question is given as 100,200 -99,800 mm. What should be the standard deviation of the manufacturing process to ensure six sigma conditions?

I addressed this question. but i couldn’t find a solution. Can we do the solution and send me your picture?

Thanks for reaching out. I think it’s best to start at the Green Belt, then you can upgrade later at a discount.

If you’ve had good training and you have 4 weeks or more to prepare, I think the Guided option is the best bet. If you’d had less training, Custom is the way to go. If you only have a short time to prepare, Express is the one for you.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi William,

Good question. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence based off reports from people who have taken the exam that there are a few other equations that are asked in the exam.

I’ve asked this question to IASSC and they refer me to their BOK and that reference sheet. I hate to pass the responsibility to you but you should contact them as well to see if the equation-based questions asked will be limited to their reference sheet.

Hello, in the IASSC Green Belt Certification test do they give mathematical probability and statistics questions? Or are these only for black belt?

Reply

Hi Fathima,

Yes, the IASSC Green Belt does test probability and statistics according to their BOK here.

The good news is that 1) they provide an equation sheet for you to use and 2) I hear candidates tell me that they usually only see 5-10 such questions on it.

Beyond the IASSC Green Belts in the industry are typically expected to have a good understanding of applying these principles but yes, the more difficult and in-depth statistical analysis is typically left to the black belts.

Thank you Ted. Now I understand that the IASSC exam can be taken at home under proctored conditions- is that right? So in this case too a formula sheet is provided to us for reference before the test??

I would like to know in relation to the actual exam, if we will have to do it by hand or they just provide the relevant data (i.e. means, standard deviations, etc) just to use the formulas.
Thanks

Hi Agustin,

Thank you for the complements. I do appreciate them.

I’m going to take some extra time here to give a lot of context to this answer because I know it’s on the minds of many people.

My guide is designed to test skills over a range of modalities. Some are easier ‘point and shoot’ questions that you can answer immediately. Others are more complex where you have to link several concepts together. The rationale here is as follows:

  • To get practice linking concepts together.
  • To get practice on “easier calculations” while also working harder ones
  • To represent all of the kinds of questions you might see on the exam so that way no matter what they throw at you, you’re prepared for.

    • The guide also is representative of every exam certification out there; and they are all different. Some of these are the hardest kinds of problems people have reported seeing. Others are on the other end of the spectrum.

    The Six Sigma exams, especially the Black Belt exams, require a vast amount of knowledge. The good thing is that they can’t possible ask you all of it. The bad thing is that you can’t be sure what topics they will ask you. The question banks people get tested on are vast. As soon as I say ‘oh, yeah, they won’t ask in that way’ sure enough someone will report having those type of questions on their exam.

    I’d take a similar approach to practice as you should to the exam. On the exam your goal is to score as many points as possible. Each question is weighted the same. If you need to skip a problem (or guess) because it’s taking too long, then do so. Similarly for practice, if you feel that the more in-depth questions aren’t a good investment of time, feel free to skip them and invest it on other problems.

    I don’t think that over large number n questions any of the certifying organizations make the exams impossible. In terms of time per question, on a 100 question 2 hour test there might be one that would take you 5 minutes to solve. But it’s unlikely there will be many of them.

    I hope this helps!

    Best, Ted

For me the main difficulty is when I have to copy all the data in a paper to do the calculations one by one, (i.e. Man Whitney or calculating paired T Test). But it is really useful in the other hand to understand what is lying behind the maths. Very comprehensive answer, it makes sense. Thanks!

I understand and I am open to ideas here to make sure we have a good mix of questions that require “long form” answers and short form. Lately, I’ve been adding questions that meet in the middle with several tabulations done already – especially in cases where n is >8.

Keep giving feedback and we’ll keep improving!

Hi Ted
I am considering enrolling for a 6 Sigma green belt training and certification with the IISE Training center. How would you rate it compared to certifications from organizations like ASQ and IASSC?

Hi Ted,

I’m Intrested in six sigma green belt but I’m not sure either to go for ASQ or IASSC.
1)Both have the same reputation in USA?
2) if I pass the mock exam in the program thenb do you think I will be able to pass the exams from asq and iassc?

Hi Ted,
I did my IASSC BB exam yesterday and I would like to share my experience with you.
– It seemed to be much easier at the beguinning, with some questions with three options realy unrealistic. I think it is part of the 15 “fake” questions that they do.
– The exam is structured following DMAIC.
– A lot of questions related to non-parametric but some of them tricky and theoretical.
– Not may questions in which calculation is required.
– At some point is hard to answer the questions when you have been answering for hours.
– The last set of questions is true/false mixing different steps.
– Some of them were the same you have in the practice. I remember one related to calculate the Kanban that I did not give too much importance when practising.
– It did not focus too much on Lean on History, but I remember three or four questions on DFSS.
– Not many questions on management tools and no questions at all about team building.

To improve your system I make the following suggestions:

– Build more theorethical questions for non-parametrics.
– Try to add a couple of longer exams with the same number of questions that can be found on the exam but without so may long calculations and focusing on tricky questions. The idea is to get used to the time pressure. The current model of 100 questions in 240 minutes is very good but not the same than 165 in the same time. I did not need the whole time, but I was looking forward to reach the end.

Wether if I Pass or Fail I must say that your system has been very helpful for me and I strongly will recommend it.

Regards

Thank you very much for all your support. I will cancel my membership for obvious reasons but I will recommend it to everyone.

Hey Ted,
I was wondering if it would be simple enough to change the check mark for when you complete a section to show whether you reached the recommended score for that section. Maybe a Red for completed but missed by >20%; Yellow for completed but missed by <20% and Green checkmark for completed with passing score.

Hello Ted,
I am looking for a refund. I have canceled my membership in less than 30 days. According to your website, cancel within 30 days no questions ask. Will I be receiving a full refund?

The course does not seem to help me. However, I do believe it can work for someone else.

Hi Rachel,

I’m sorry the course isn’t for you. I’ve initiated the refund and you should be all set.

I’ve also set your course access to the free GB program so you retail some access benefits in case those help. You will NOT be charged again.

You will also receive a few system-generated emails to this effect.

Best, Ted.

Hi Ted,

Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel my monthly subscription which has been automatically renewed today. I have now submitted a cancellation request. Would it be possible to please get a refund on the newly paid month?

Hi Miguel,

Yes, this guide will absolutely help you prepare for the IASSC exam. We’ve had hundreds of students do so.

We’re not affiliated with PeopleCert so unsure of that aspect of your question.

Hi Ted,

I’ve signed up for your free black belt course trial. I’ve waited a few days but the confirmation email never came. I’ve also tried the resend email button and that didn’t work either. Is the free trial still available?

Hi Ted,
I am interested in the PSYBB course. Can you explain what the package will include apart from the quizzes, mock exams and tests? Will it include study plans and resources?

Hi Karthik,

The study guide has thoughts on constructing the best study plan for you based on your needs, pre-assessment exams, detailed quizzes on sub topics, tests on larger concepts, as well as full-length exams. There is suggested reference material and links to detailed and accessible writing on every imaginable topic. Furthermore, each question in the 2000+ question bank comes with a full walkthrough of the answer and links to learn even more. On top of that, you have access to myself and other instructors so if you ever have a question you can leave it as a comment on any of the pages inside the course or you can add a topic to our restricted forum and we’ll do our best to answer it. 

You can see a bit more of what’s inside here: https://sixsigmastudyguide.com/pyssbb-walkthrough/

Hello, I see this comment on the ASQ website. The 2022 Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge (CSSGB BoK) will be introduced at the August 2022 administration.
Both BoKs will be available online until October 1, 2022, at which time the 2014 BoK will be removed.
Does your course/questions/material cover the new exam format currently?

Reply

Great question, Anil!

Yes, we absolutely do cover both the 2014 and the 2022 ASQ BOKs for both Green Belt and Black Belt!

We will be updating the mapping overtime.

Hi Trinh,

I don’t support external questions on this site, just my own collection. But you should be able to find all of these answers on the respective pages. They can be found using the search bar.

Hi Ted,

I’m currently working my way through the practice questions for each section and got to question 20 or so on in the ‘ Process Capability and Performance for Black Belts Quiz (BB Process Capability) (40)’ section within the Measure phase, when the form appeared to reset my progress with the answers to that point.

I didn’t mind this so much as I’m completing them multiple times so I can also learn from the answers I got wrong, but now the practice question form appears to have frozen on question 1 of the section and clicking ‘Save and next question’ and ‘Answer Later’ will cause the form to display a loading indication for a few seconds until it stops loading and remains stuck on question 1.

Every other question section works perfectly.

I have tried restarting my computer, using different browsers on different devices, resetting settings etc but to no avail. What could be happening here?

Kind regards,
Marc

P.S. Great site by the way!

Hi Ted,

I recently took a course in school on Six Sigma and took the Green Belt Exam. I also studied your free content online before I took the exam. I got a 57%. I was hoping for your input. I have one month to take the exam again and I cant decide if I should purchase the practice exam that IASSC provides or purchase your 1 month package. What are your thoughts on which one will help me pass the exam this time?

Thank you for your time,

Trevor
